What is it?
Assessment and evaluation are opportunities for growth. Innovative applications of technology can be used to create unique learning environments and processes that require nontraditional forms of assessment. School leaders must be willing to embrace new assessment strategies to obtain accurate and meaningful data, helping to ensure continuous improvement in teaching and learning.
