Teachers can use different types of tests to find out how students learn in their own ways. This can include formal tests, like quizzes, and informal tests, like watching how students act in class.

Formal Assessments:

• These are structured tests that show how well a student thinks and learns.
• For example, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale is a test that checks many different kinds of thinking skills.

Informal Assessments:

• These are less formal and include watching students and taking notes about what they do.
• For instance, a teacher might notice that a student struggles when working in groups. This might mean the student has some difficulties with social learning.

By using both types of assessments, teachers can understand what each student needs to learn better.
