3 ways assessment empowers students
Educators have the power to enrich the lives of students and help them reach their full potential. Student growth is dependent on giving them a say in their learning. A sense of power and ownership over their education leads them to not only do better in class but to feel better about themselves, creating a solid foundation for success in college and beyond.
Providing students with a clear view of where they stand academically now—and what they’re ready to learn next—is key to building a strong teacher-student partnership. Accurate data from a reliable assessment solution is an invaluable tool for building understanding of strengths and areas for improvement. When students understand that data, they can put it to use it in choosing their educational path.
