In a differentiated classroom, assessment is ongoing and diagnostic. Its purpose is to help students learn rather than to simply catalog their mistakes. Differentiating instruction requires that teachers respond to variations in students' readiness, interest, and learning profiles, information best gathered through appropriate use of assessment. In this professional development online course, we will identify uses of assessment to pinpoint students' learning needs, reflect on some principles of differentiated instruction, and analyze uses of continual assessment that inform instruction.
