FOUR PURPOSES OF ASSESSMENT
Assessment provides students, parents, and teachers with valid information concerning student progress and their attainment of the curriculum.

2. VALUEING – evaluating what we value
Evaluation is a double edged sword. When we evaluate our students they evaluate us ... for what we choose to evaluate shows what it is we value.

DOWNSTREAM CONSEQUENCES
• When is a goal achieved?– most recent, most consistent, or on a test?
• When does assessment stop?– when do you take away a target?– when does learning stop?
• What about assessment as a stick?– zeros?
