ABSTRACT
As you have seen, assessment is the proc-
ess of gathering information and using it
to make educational decisions. We hope
that educational decisions made by class-
room teachers are the best and most ap-
propriate for a given situation. However,
the quality of those decisions is only as good as the information that leads to
them. If the information gathered is inappropriate for a specific individual or
situation or if it is collected in a less-than-
precise manner, the decisions that follow
will logically be inaccurate.
