Assessment is the systematic collection of data about student learning based on standards and the use of that data to create a continuous cycle of improved teaching and learning.  The 好色导航learning community believes that assessment is for student learning, is student-centered, and involves a commitment by all stakeholders.

 

 

District assessments are a part of an effective assessment system intended to determine both a current student performance level and measure of the guaranteed and viable, standards-based curriculum implemented across the district.  In order to inform instruction, measure student learning, and close achievement gaps, 好色导航endorses the use of diverse classroom assessment data, such as formative, summative, performance-based, portfolio, and student observation.  Results are used in conjunction with district, state, and national assessment data to form a picture of student learning.  好色导航celebrates data indicators that provide opportunity for growth in the goal of providing an extraordinary educational experience for all students.

 

 

DVUSD's approach to assessment includes appropriately scheduled assessments within each content area and a focus on five measurement purposes:

• baseline (beginning level of knowledge prior to instruction)
• inform instruction (level of understanding throughout instruction)
• show content mastery (summative)
• gauge student growth (summary of learning attained over a period of time)
• predict success (expectation of future performance)
