How are the goals, instruction, and assessment aligned with one another?

Goals and Assessments

 * Could the student perform well on the assessments without understanding the content?
 * Could the students perform poorly on the assessments, but really understand the content?

Assessments and Instruction

 * Could students complete all the instruction without truly understanding the content?


 * Could students reach mastery of the content without having to complete the instruction?
