Classroom assessment

make adjustments in their instruction) and assessment as
learning (students reflect on their own progress).

whether learners have met the content and performance
standards).
What is assessed?
Assessment in the
classroom is aimed at helping
students perform well in
relation to the learning
standards. Learning standards
comprise content standards,
performance standards, and
learning competencies that
are outlined in the curriculum.

that should be learned. They cover a specified scope of sequential
topics within each learning strand, domain, theme or component.
Content standards answer the question, “What should the learners
know?
