Please select the one answer that most accurately identifies the particular item's
"quoted" reason for teachers to know about assessment.
"Wishing that students will make progress does not guarantee that students actually will
do so. And this is why I believe teachers have a fundamental responsibility to monitor
their students' progress throughout the school year. I try to administer informal
progress-monitoring quizzes every few weeks to make sure my instruction is "taking." If
my instruction is not working as well as I want it to work, then I can make modifications
in my upcoming teaching plans. Assessment-based monitoring of students' progress is
so very sensible that it's hard for me to understand why it is not more widely used. This
is:

state's teachers collect accurate evidence of their students' growth because such

because this helps me irrespective of what the state wants me to do determine which
changes, if any, are needed during next year's instruction." This is:
