Assessment in education must, first and foremost,
serve the purpose of supporting learning.
What is assessment is the process of documenting usually in measurable
terms, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs. Assessment can focus on the
individual learner, the learning community.

Classroom assessment plays an important role in student achievement.
Classroom assessment is the process of obtaining evidence or information of
what a student knows, understands, and what they are able to do. It can also
help to identify students' learning needs.
Assessment for learning in schools is not only about grading students or
the way they learn; assessment is a tool for teachers to learn more about their
students and how they can help them to straight their weaknesses. If we as
teacher use the assessment to help our students in that way we are giving the
purpose of supporting our students in their learning process and this not only
will give us an idea how our students are learning but also how we can help
them to improve in their learning.
