and in the end, how effectively they taught it.
 Assessment affects decisions about grades, placement, advancement,
instructional needs, curriculum, and, in some cases, funding.
 Assessment inspire us to ask these hard questions:
"Are we teaching what we think we are teaching?"
"Are students learning what they are supposed to be learning?"
"Is there a way to teach the subject better, there by promoting better learning?"

10. What is the deference between an assessment and testing?
Assessment Test
Assessment is the systematic process of
documenting and using empirical data
on the knowledge, skills, attitudes and
beliefs. By taking the assessment,
teachers try to improve student learning.
A test is used to examine someone’s
knowledge of something to determine
what that person knows or has learned.
It measures the level of skill or
knowledge that has been reached.
assessment is seen as a procedure
instead of a product.
A test is a “product” that measures a
particular behavior or set of objectives.
