progress of their students. It allows them to gauge whether learners
are grasping the content and skills being taught.
b. Feedback: Assessment provides an opportunity to give
constructive feedback to learners. This feedback helps students
understand their strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to
improve.

teaching methods. If a significant number of learners are struggling
with a particular concept or skill, the teacher can modify their
teaching approach to address these difficulties.

a. Formative Assessment: Formative assessment is crucial for
ongoing learning. It provides feedback during the learning process,
allowing students to identify areas where they need improvement.
In Life Orientation, this can help students develop life skills
gradually.
b. Baseline Assessment: A baseline assessment helps establish a
starting point for each learner's knowledge and skills. It helps
teachers understand the diversity of their class and tailor their
teaching accordingly.
