What is Assessment for Learning VS Assessment of Learning?

Assessments have become integral to today’s teaching, learning, and data-driven decision-making efforts. Within the world of assessments, there are two paramount ideologies at work: assessments for learning and assessments of learning.
Both forms of assessments serve a distinct and powerful purpose, and it’s important to understand how they play off one another and ultimately enhance instruction, intervention, and student achievement.

Assessments for learning – also described as assessments as learning – assess a student’s comprehension and understanding of a skill or lesson during the learning and teaching process.
