Module 6: Assessing Teaching and Learning

Introduction and Intended Outcome:

Preface

 

Assessment involves gathering data about the success of the teaching and learning in your classroom. It is a continuous process that provides insight into student learning, gives teachers a basis for making instructional decisions and modifying teaching methods, and helps in assigning grades. The best assessments also serve as learning opportunities for students. In this session, you'll learn techniques for gathering data on the teaching and learning in your classroom that will help you assess both your students' learning and your own teaching.

Intended Outcome for This Module

As a result of this learning experience, you should be able to create assessments that focus on intended outcomes and your own teaching.
