Best Practice 20: Testing Our Students

Students are assessed before beginning their course of study with Modern Language Center and sporadically thereafter. The purpose of these later assessments is to gather evidence of learning.

• Students can use this feedback on their performance to better know where they are doing well and where they need to place additional effort.

• Teachers, similarly, can use this information about their students’ understanding in order to make good decisions about what and how they teach.

• Administrators, too, can use this information in order to provide additional support for teachers and students when it may be needed.
