This document discusses assessment and evaluation in education. It defines assessment as using student data to improve learning and programs, involving planning learning goals, teaching effectively, checking outcomes, and acting on lessons learned. Evaluation judges a program's effectiveness and examines its operation, outcomes, and longer-term impacts. The key difference is that assessment focuses on instruction and student learning while evaluation examines the program as a whole.
