2. Assessment for Learning: As you are working on your inquiry, you may want to consider whether you have provided opportunities for students to assess their learning. Assessment for learning is a process where assessment information is used by teachers to adjust the teaching strategies that are being used, and also by students to adjust their learning strategies.

You may want to consider the strategies below, and decide which ones are you currently doing, and which you should do more of in order to improve the learning outcomes of students.
