​The Purpose of Assessment 

Assessment is a tool to improve students learning and as a way of systematically gathering evidence to make reliable and consistent judgments about students learning and reporting this to parents.

Teachers use assessments that are designed to meet three main purposes:

1. Assessment for learning – This is monitoring and diagnostic assessments designed to monitor and identify areas for target teaching to support student’s’ progress to meet learning expectations.
2. Assessment as learning – This includes self-reflection and self-tracking so students can monitor their own progress and achievement of learning goals.
3. Assessment of learning – This assists teachers at the end of a unit or set of learning experiences to gather evidence of student knowledge, understanding and skills as described in the year level curriculum
