Pre-assessment

Pre-assessment is frequently referred to as diagnostic assessment. By some, it is considered the first step in differentiating instruction. At the beginning of a unit, teachers will use pre-assessment to determine what students know about the subject and may be able to surface gaps and misconceptions. Teachers and students discover what is already known about a subject, which provides both the opportunity to make changes to what will be taught and learned. Pre-Assessment can pique a student’s interest in a topic and help teachers plan instruction. Some consider this practice the i nitial phase of assessment for learning.
