Formative Assessments: Periodic assessments to track student progress and identify areas for adjustment.
Summative Assessments: End-of-term evaluations to measure overall success and impact on student outcomes.
Feedback Mechanisms: Gathering feedback from students, parents, and staff to gauge the effectiveness and make necessary adjustments.
**3. Continuous Improvement
Based on evaluation results, our leadership team makes informed adjustments to the action plans:
