Why create a pre-assessment in Flint?
There are three main reasons creating pre-assessments can be impactful while using the Flint platform:
To measure how Flint supports student learning during the ADEK pilot
To establish a baseline score before students fully learn a unit
To give the same activity again later as a post-assessment to measure improvement over time.
