is a central classroom activity
instruction
To achieve a fruitful classroom instruction, teachers need to make decisions related to planning and conducting instruction. These instructional decisions are referred to as:
process or teaching decisions
This purpose entails teachers regularly assessing their methods and learning activities based on student success or failure.
To plan and conduct instruction
These are made for academic as well as social reasons.
placement decisions
This is a standardized placement test used nationwide that help students choose a college course that matches their interests and strengths.
National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE)

FALSE
True or false: If progress for most students is satisfactory, but a few students are falling behind, some separate doses of remedial assistance would seem to be in order.
true<br></br>
<span>True or false: If progress for most students is inadequate, then the teacher</span>should not necessarily modify the instructional approach<span>being used, as there could be other factors affecting student performance that need to be addressed first.</span>
FALSE
It helps accurately understand what students know and can do at the beginning of the year. This understanding is crucial for designing instruction that challenges students without overwhelming them.

diagnostic assessment
This is when teachers assess students’ needs and readiness before teaching, so they can tailor their instruction to each student.

TRUE
Psychologists tell us that students new learning is usually dependent on their ____.
prior knowledge
Trure or false: One of the most important ways teachers can help close the achievement gap between lower and higher performing students is to make sure students have the prior knowledge necessary to begin a new unit.
TRUE
This includes monitoring of student progress during instruction.
Formative assessment
A key aspect of it is giving student feedback on their growth toward the learning goals they need to master.It is, therefore, assessment for learning.
Formative assessment
Giving ____ helps students understand where they are now compared to where they should be going, and it gives the suggestions for getting there.
feedback
<span>True or false: Teachers</span>have not always relied on informal methods<span>like asking questions or observing puzzled facial expressions to check on students’ progress. Instead, they have often used formal assessments and standardized tests to gauge understanding and performance.</span>
FALSE
More ____ checkup and feedback during instruction can have a significant impact on student learning and also on student motivation.
systematic

Assessment for Learning
