Four basic elements of teacher knowledge are critical:
1) domain knowledge
2) pedagogical content knowledge
3) knowledge of students' previous learning
4) knowledge of assessment.

Assessment OF Learning is a communal assessment that provides a statement or symbols to justify how well a student is learning,
Assessment AS Learning focuses on how students self-regulate their own learning, making difficult choices about how to utilize feedback and participating in classroom learning priorities.
Assessment FOR learning is a method in which learning and teaching provide feedback that is then used to enhance student learning. In this process, students take a big role in their learning, and therefore, gain trust in what they need to learn in school.
Helps teachers and students to "close the gap" between where a learner is at the start of assessment and where they want to grow in their education.
Diagnostic assessment is used to collect data on what students already know about the topic. It's non-graded and do not determine whether the student moves to the next educational level
