ASSESSMENT BELIEFS

1. Good assessment improves student learning, not just monitors it.

2. Good assessment measures what we value, not what is easiest, cheapest, or quickest to test. Good assessment values the process as well as the product of learning.

3. Good assessment includes varied approaches, multiple measures taken across time, and different opportunities for learners to demonstrate outcomes. Good assessment yields comprehensive information about students for effective decision making.

4. Good assessment reflects standards which are chosen and which are accepted by the community as a measure of the learner's achievement of outcomes.

5. Good assessment reveals the criteria by which student performance is judged. These criteria are understood in advance, are explicit, and are appropriate to the task.

6. Good assessment includes opportunities for students to monitor their learning through self-assessment.

7. Good assessment engages students in significant learning, that is authentic and is worthy of their time.

8. Good assessment promotes and is integral to good instruction.

9. Good assessment reflects what students know, what they can do, and what they are like.
