Part D - The Post-test

Picture
The Road to Success
Post-tests are given following instruction, feedback and remediation mandated by the pre-test. The post- test confirms that the students have mastered the objectives set out for them in the beginning. Each item on a post-test should match the teacher's objectives, and the test should assess all of the objectives and any important related subskills.
​Testing for Success
Success breeds success. It is counterproductive to test a student when he has not mastered the content. We already know what the results will be. Therefore, the Curriculum Centre believes that students should be allowed to take regular classroom summative tests only when they are confident that they will be successful. Of course, this require a different approach to teaching than the one size fits all style of instruction that is found in many classrooms today.
