Assessments should be given in a multimodal way depending on the student. If there are other adults that work frequently with the student (EA, resource teachers), the teacher may want to use co-assessment strategies to ensure that the assessment is accurately reflective of the student's progress.

Assessments should inform and guide the teacher on where to take the lesson next.

Formative assessment(Informal) is an ongoing record for the students and the teachers to keep track of their learning process. Students can see their own improvements and teachers can make use of that to further support their learning.

Summative assessment(Formal) is an evaluation at the end of a unit or a term to see what the students have learned so far.

Before the overhaul of the BC curriculum, standardized tests and letter grades/percentages were indicative of a student's understanding of the material and progress. This in turn created a lot of anxiety over achievement and overall success.

Looking at 'Language Assessment: Principals  and classroom practice, (Brown and Abeywickrama, 2019).

learning how to design  language assessments that have a clear purpose, and are useful for learner and teacher.

learning more about listening/speaking components of language assessments.

offering  lots of time for students to prepare  for assessments.

seeing 'wrong' answers as insight into more work and research for test maker.

assessment that motivates learners language confidence, and independence, challenges and gives sense of accomplishment.

how assessment can influence both teaching and learning.

Assessments were traditionally based on a single "snapshot" (eg. unit test) of a student's understanding. Thankfully there has been an evolution in assessments, and now we assess a "photo album" or portfolio rather a single test.

A meme representing my feelings about assessment

# data[].attributes.body
Just the word itself triggers a negative reaction, thats coming from someone who didnt get the worse grades too. When we hear the word, think tests, what did you memorize, it does not necessarily test if you learned it, from my experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment can be done for learning, as learning, or of learning. Assessment for learning is done so that teachers can learn to differentiate learning based on the class' needs. Assessment as learning is done so that students develop metacognitive skills and can plan, monitor, and evaluate their own learning. Finally, assessment of learning is a summative process in which teachers measure and report students' understanding and achievement.

A way of assessing a student's progress in a specific area that highlights strengths and areas that need support. It should be ongoing throughout the school year, communicated with parents, and provide actionable suggestions for improvement.

There are different kinds of assessment, the main two I know are formative and summative. Formative assessments typically occur during the learning process and summative assessments typically occur at the end of a learning unit.
