Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Developing assessment plans before starting the unit allows the teacher to set clear expectations and goals for the unit and to plan activities and assessments that align with those goals. It also allows the teacher to gather baseline data on students' knowledge and skills related to the unit topic, which can inform instruction and differentiation. Waiting until halfway through the unit (Choice B) or after the unit has been completed (Choice C) is not ideal because it can be difficult to make adjustments or provide timely feedback to students. Waiting for student feedback (Choice D) is not sufficient because students may not have a clear understanding of what they need to learn or how they will be assessed.
