INCORPORATING THE NATIONALASSESSMENTS FRAMEWORK IN CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT
Assessment Literacy
Refers to the understanding, skills, and competencies teachers need to design, select, interpret,
and use assessments effectively to improve students learning and outcomes.
What are the components of Assessment Literacy?
• Understanding the purpose of Assessment
• Assessment Design and Development
• Data Analysis and Interpretation
• Feedback and Instructional Decision]-Making
• Ethical and Fair Use of Assessment
