Classroom assessments are tools used by teachers to evaluate students' understanding and skills in a specific subject. These assessments can take various forms, including quizzes, tests, projects, and presentations. They help educators identify areas where students excel or may need additional support, guiding future instruction. These assessments can be formative or summative. Formative assessments occur during the learning process, providing ongoing feedback, while summative assessments evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional period. Both types are essential for measuring progress and ensuring that educational goals are met effectively.
