Curriculum-Based Assessment
See the ADLA Administration Handbook: Student Assessment
Assessment of student learning is an integral part of the instructional process. The purpose of assessment is to guide instructional decisions in meeting goals and to report student progress toward meeting content standards.
Assessment should be frequent, ongoing, varied, multifaceted, and integrated into the teaching/learning process.
The usefulness of assessment is dictated by the quality of the assessment in measuring student progress; therefore, teachers must carefully design appropriate, high-quality measures of student progress.
