Major Purposes of Assessment
(Source: Alaska Statewide Assessment Advisory Committee,
1995)
- To help teachers understand student mastery of concepts,
skills, and attitudes, diagnose assistance where needed,
and alter instruction;
- To show individual student growth and progress over
time;
- To report to parents about students' progress and
achievements;
- To compare student achievement with other same-age
students nationally and statewide;
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the curriculum/school
program; and
- To communicate to the public what we value in education.
