Instructing without strategies is merely a giving a presentation of

students can take ownership of their learning.

Assessment
Assessment is a #ourney of gathering information about students:
understanding of content in order to provide evidence of learning that can be
shown by the data collected. This tool helps me to see what my students
know and what I need to do to help them meet and exceed the ob#ectives.
