Assessments hold significant value for any student. Even for schools and teachers, assessment is a way to judge your learning strategies, teaching methodologies, and the resource material you are using. Without the evaluation, we cannot track the progress of each student. But when it comes to evaluating the students, there are many loopholes in the system. It is unfathomable that how one single piece of paper can decide the mental level of all students. There is no doubt that the assessments are a vital addition to our educational system. The problem is that every student contains diverse mental capabilities. So, to assess all of the students on the same level is not fair to them. We need to examine the students on the same grounds if we want a fair result. Evaluating the students involve a laid-out strategy, foolproof judgments, and equal opportunities for all students. You need to keep track of the progress of every student throughout the entire semester. Make sure you keep all the data of your students in the school student management system. This way, you can fetch the information required at the time of evaluation. Besides, it is not fair to all students to have only one way of assessments. You have to create a variety of ways to examine the learning level of your students. Below we are listing down the tactics that can help all teachers track their progress. This guideline contains several methodologies that can help you get a fair result.

Categories of assessment 

You can assess all your students better if you are using several assessment forms. Using just the written assessment may not be able to give you accurate results. That is why you must use other ways to examine the students. Mainly, there are two types of assessments that every school uses. The first one is a summative assessment. In summative assessments, we include quizzes, tests, and other graded projects and activities. The second one is formative assessment. These assessments do not allot any grade, but they can reflect on the learning capability of students. You can add class participation and discussions in this category.

Learning specific approach

You can examine the progress of your students when you move forwards using learning specific approach. You can try to summarize your course by picking topics. Know that your students do not need to cram all the material that is in the book. Try to help out your students by guiding them on the right path. Try to let them participate in the activities and projects that will enhance their skills.

The weighting scales

You are doing it all wrong if you are considering only the written test in the final results. The progress of any student is through the summative and formative assessments. The written test scores hold high value in the final term grade, but you cannot ignore the nongraded progress. That is why you need to change the weighting scale of your grades. Try to give equal opportunities to all students by including every project, exam, quiz, discussion, and class participation score. 

Hands-on learning

Some subjects demand having a technical skillset. For all such courses, you cannot grade students for their writing skills only. You need to include activities, projects and then allot the final grade. Do not forget to engage all the students in practical learning. Make sure you add the results of experimental work to the overall score.
