Four-process framework of teachers' ongoing assessment use for individualization¶

Theory · All theories
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The EDIT organizes teachers' assessment practice into four processes: "planning what information to collect and how to do so, collecting valid data, organizing and interpreting the data, and using the data collected to inform both overall and individualized instruction." This framework structures what the measure observes about data-informed individualization.
