Assessment Alignment
Assessment alignment refers to the process of ensuring that assessments, such as tests and quizzes, accurately measure the knowledge and skills that students are expected to learn. This involves aligning the content of assessments with the learning objectives outlined in the curriculum. When assessments are well-aligned, they provide a clear picture of student understanding and progress.
Effective assessment alignment also helps educators identify areas where students may need additional support. By using assessments that reflect the goals of the curriculum, teachers can make informed decisions about instruction and improve overall student outcomes. This alignment fosters a more cohesive educational experience for both students and educators.
