and informal information about what and
how their students are learning.
- They student tests and assignments,
listen to small-group activities and
observed students engaged in
structured and unstructured activities.
- When teachers systematically collect the
right kinds of information and use it
effectively, they can help their students
grow as thinkers and learners.
- In some contexts, the term assessment
and evaluation are interchangeable.

specifically to all kinds of methods and
strategies that provide information
about a student’s learning.
