Student Assessment

Assessing Student Learning in Lamar CISD

Assessment in education is a crucial tool that enables teachers to gather comprehensive data on student performance, thereby facilitating a deeper understanding of each student's academic growth and overall functioning. Educators can identify strengths, areas for improvement, and potential explanations for student behaviors and achievements by evaluating how students perform tasks across diverse contexts. This thorough approach not only aids in tailoring instruction to meet individual needs but also ensures that decisions about student progress are well-informed and equitable.

 


 

Why We Assess

Assessment of Instruction


 

 Assessment of instruction refers to summative assessment with a focus on determining the degree at which students have mastered the content. (pg. 6, 24-25 LCISD Instructional Handbook)

Assessment for Instruction


 

 Assessment for instruction refers to the ways in which a teacher uses the information derived from assessments for planning that will move student learning forward. (pg. 6, 24-25 LCISD Instructional Handbook)

Assessment as Instruction


 

Assessment as instruction refers to students comparing their work on assessments to specified learning targets, so they are aware of their growth. (pg. 6, 24-25 LCISD Instructional Handbook)
