Assessment and evaluation play an important role in the teaching and learning process. They are conducted continuously throughout the year and help analyze students’ learning and understanding where they are lagging behind. This can help teachers identify where they need extra help and support in different subjects. Curriculum subjects cannot be taught effectively without assessing student knowledge. There are various assessment and evaluation methods depending on the needs and abilities of the students that a teacher can use.

This course is a 6-day course and aims to provide participants with the theoretical background for evaluation and assessment as well as practical suggestions for data collection, selection of appropriate methodology and the use of reliable assessment tools. There is also the possibility to extent the course to a 7-day.
