A teacher wants to know what 8th-grade math students know at the beginning.
What type of assessment is best?
Diagnostic
An individual has been hired to train staff to use a new system. The training runs for 3 days. They want to know the progress of each participant at the end of the first day and use info to plan the second day’s instruction.
