Practical Recommendations
Recommendations for assessment for learning (from reading 1):
- "Pretest before a unit of study and adjust instruction for individuals or the entire group"
- Based on assessment results, "facilitate peer tutoring, matching students who demonstrate understanding with those who do not"
- Feedback on assessment should provide guidance for students to improve their learning: "Descriptive feedback should provide ways for students to improve in clear, constructive language. Instead of simply labeling student errors or omissions, effective feedback guides students to better performance throughout the learning process."
