ASSESSMENTS

Assessment for learning, Assessment as learning.

Assessments are typically of three types: One is assessment ‘for’ learning-that is to decide the learning plan; second is assessment ‘of’ learning-that is to decide how well the learner has learnt and third is ‘as’ learning: assessment itself as learning. Alchemy approach to assessment is assessment ‘as’ and ‘for’ learning. Our assessment practice smoothens and sharpens development and often the proces itself becomes a major learning.

Assessments are helpful in establishing the current state of a specific team or the entire organization. The help in identifying the gap between the desired and current states.
