Knowing where you stand….

There is a test that can tell you where your students’ learning stand. It tracks students’ learning progress and predict their readiness to undertake standardized test in the future. It is called Benchmark Assessments. These assessments are given periodically (e.g., at the end of every quarter or as frequently as once per month) throughout a school year to establish baseline achievement data and measure progress toward a set of academic standards and goals (Hicks, M. 2013). It is different from formative or summative tests because its purpose is not to measure content mastery but to establish students’ weaknesses and strength to support instruction.
