What is assessment?
Assessment is a set of processes through which we try to understand and get information about what children can do and about their knowledge.

Why do we assess our children?
For teachers *To meet the demands of NEC. *To help children’s learning.For children *To feel good about what they have learnt. *To see what they next need to learn. For parents *To see whether their children have made
progress.

Does this test provide a meaningful situation? have linked parts? (so that children can build
meaning) focus on use as well as grammar, or only
grammar? have clear instructions and/or a model? give children a chance to express personal
meaning? develop the learning skills of the children?

What learning habits does the test encourage? Are these helpful for future study/lifelong learning?
What could we do to improve them?
