Environmental Awareness
Evaluation
An assessment test can measure a student's strengths in areas such as language ability or math skills. Assessment tests can confirm that a student thought to be gifted is indeed reading above grade level. Assessments and tests can also indicate that a student has a previously unsuspected gift. This can justify placement in an advanced reading group or enrichment class.
A standardized test can help identify pedagogical methods that really work. School officials may discover that previously thought-out theories pertaining to specific educational practices do not work in actual practice. This can help improve education in the primary grades as teachers switch to more effective teaching methods.
