Assessment
Accomplished mathematics teachers employ a range of formal and informal assessment methods that are ongoing and embedded to evaluate student learning in light of well defined goals. They employ multiple methods of assessment—including teacher-designed and external assessments, where appropriate—to diagnose learning; plan instruction; and provide opportunities for students to reflect on their strengths and weaknesses in order to revise, support, and extend their individual performance.

Reflection on the Standard
Indispensible links in the feedback cycle, assessments provide teachers with the data needed to modify, adjust, and refine ongoing instruction. They are the gauges and dials that measure the progress of both individuals and classes.

Just as the status of an automobile cannot be accurately judged on the basis of a single guage reading, so too the progress of a class cannot be judged on the basis of a single type of assessment. The use of a wide range of assessments from individual tests to group projects, written reports, and informal interviews provides the practitioner with a more holistic picture, and is the mark of the effective teacher.

Evidence, Examples, and Artifacts
Sample artifacts are being collected and will appear at a later date.
