Assessment
Assessment is the mechanism used to measure educational achievement. Assessment is important because it affects how the students view themselves; the way parents, community, and governing bodies evaluate schools and districts; and the way the citizens of this nation compete with those of other nations in a worldwide marketplace.
Below are suggested assessments designed to assess the objectives and competencies in the Mississippi Physical Education Framework and some environment assessment tools to support quality physical education programs in Mississippi Schools.
