Assessment and Prentice Hall ChemistryThe primary goal of NCLB is to provide classroom teachers with better datafro scientifically valid assessment in order to inform instructional planningand identify at-risk students who require intervention. It has been acommon practice to teach a science lesson, administer a test, grade it, andmove on. This practice is a thing of the past. With the spotlight now onimproving student performance, it is essential to use assessment results as away to identify student strengths and challenges. Providing studentfeedback and obtaining student input is a valuable, essential part of theassessment process.What Research IndicatesAn important assessment strategy is to ensure that students have ampleopportunities to check their understanding of skills and concepts beforemoving on to the next topic. Checking for understanding also includesasking appropriate, probing questions with each example presented. Thisenables students and teachers to know whether the skills or concepts beingintroduced are actually understood.Eileen DepkaSupervisor of Standards and AssessmentWaukesha, WisconsinIMPLEMENTASSESSPrentice Hall ChemistryScientific Research BasePage 5 of 10
