Assessment should not be an after-thought or a document to prove that mandated content have been covered. End-of-term tests, no
matter how formal and standardised, are also inadequate. What counts are, comprehensive, carefully considered assessments, that
illuminate the pathway to a childs deep understanding. They reflect and add to the learning. Assessments help to inform teaching and
provide a scaffold for students. The information presented here shows that assessment is an essential medium linking effective teaching
with successful learning.
