3D: Using Assessment in Instruction
This component focuses on integrating assessments into the lesson. These assessments do not have to be testing, but can include various methods to evaluate how much students know. By having these assessments, it is equally important to give feedback to the students; both positive and negative. This helps them to understand what they need to learn and what they understand well.
It is important because teachers need to know how much content their students are storing in their memory. By assessing them in various ways, teachers can determine what they need to teach more of, and what they should teach less of. This is monitoring the students' progress.
