Assessment checklist
1. What skills am I assessing?
2. What activities will allow a student to demonstrate these skills?
3. Is the assessment fair for all students?
4. What evidence will be generated by the assessment activities?
5. Is the assessment proportionate to the time taken to carry it out?
6. Does it make best use of my available resources?
7. Could the assessment be carried out online?
8. Is it cost effective in terms of staff and candidate time?
9. Does it help all assessors to make reliable assessment decisions where the
same assessment task has been completed?

(measures what it is intended to measure)
(the same score to the same type of st, clear instructions,
no different understanding, neither confusing nor easy)
(dealing with real situation)
(time-consuming to do or score, expensive,
needs many people to implement)
(outcomes for
the learner-motivates
the teacher-makes more sure what & how to teach)
the teaching context- improves environment for more learning)
