Pre and Post assessments

Pre-assessments are really important because not only do they show you where the students are in their learning but it also directs your teaching.  You can see if there are subjects you can completely skip and you can see if there are subjects you need to spend extra time on.  Pre-assessments can also be a tool to show your students what they are going to be learning and what they objectives of the lessons are. They are like a little preview into the next section. Post tests are also really important.  They show you what the students have learned, where you may need to reteach and they are a motivator for student learning.
