This document discusses differentiated assessment, which involves gathering data from students in various ways to understand their individual needs, strengths, and learning styles. It defines differentiated assessment as an ongoing process of pre-, during-, and post-instruction assessment using multiple sources. The key aspects are that students differ in how they learn, process information, and demonstrate their knowledge. Effective assessment considers these differences and allows for various options like presentation, process, and product.
