Assessment for learning involves gathering information about students' learning through tasks and rubrics, analyzing the information, and using it to make decisions to improve learning. It seeks to directly assess students' performance through real-life tasks and products, unlike traditional assessments. The goals of assessment for learning are to determine students' learning needs, place them in an optimal learning environment, provide feedback on their strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate curriculum effectiveness.
