Teachers use an assessment technology, or their own modified version of it, regularly.
Alternatively, especially in the case of assessments developed outside the school building, teachers have modeled some of their in-class assessments on an assessment technology. Teachers value the information the assessment provides about their students' learning or their own teaching, and they use this information in one or more of a variety of ways, such as monitoring student progress and obtaining instructional feedback. These teachers also have typically modified some of their teaching practices to place greater emphasis on the types of skills and competencies emphasized by the assessment. Bonitos Elementary School have developed and fully appropriated a system of performance-based assessment in language arts that is thoroughly integrated with instruction. Teachers develop tasks for assessing students' emerging language skills, and they judge students' achievement on these tasks using generic language arts rubrics tailored to reflect achievement at different stages of English language learning.
