KnowledgeBases > The Classroom Assessment KnowledgeBase > Element 2: Design or Select the Assessment

Purpose:

Assessments used in the classroom can be designed locally by teachers or selected from any number of commercial or other professional sources. Regardless of an assessment's origin, teachers must first plan what they intend to accomplish with the assessment. Upon doing so, they can determine whether a pre-existing or new assessment will best meet their needs.

Activity 1: Plan the Assessment
