Assessment is an important part of the curriculum; it is a part of the learning experience, not separate from it. Here are some of the purposes of assessment:

• Opportunity for students to demonstrate what they know and are able to do.

• Determine whether students are meeting the learning objectives.

• Modify the curriculum and individualize instruction accordingly.

• Identify students with special needs.

• Provide teachers with objective information for grading.

• Motivate students to improve their performance.

• Evaluate effectiveness of programs

• Communicate student progress with parents, school, and community.
