This component of Domain 3 is about how assessment plays an integral part in the classroom. Teachers must be able to assess their students in order to see what they learned as a result of a lesson. Assessments do not need to only be testing, but it can also include other forms of evaluation. Assessment should occur throughout the day or after a lesson. This is important because assessment allows teachers to know whether their students learned what the lesson intended. In addition to assessing students, teachers must be able to provide students with specific, pointed feedback that is both positive and negative. A Rubric provides students with a way to fully understand what criteria they need to achieve during a lesson. Most importantly, assessments allow teachers to monitor their students' progress, such as tracking student progress as per their specified IEP goals.
