Welcome to the Lewis-Palmer Assessment web page. We hope this web page will assist teachers, parents, and students with questions about how and why students are assessed. Assessment is a key component of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) because assessment helps us answer fundamental questions.
Before creating assessments, PLCs must ask themselves: What should students know and be able to do?
Once this is determined, assessments provide data to tell teachers: Which students have learned and which students have not learned?
If our assessment data tells us that students have not learned, PLCs must decide: What interventions can be put in place?
Once interventions are in place to support students having difficulty, assessments will tell us if the interventions were successful.
