What is the primary purpose of DIDEA?

The primary purpose of DIDEA is to enhance instructional practices and assessment capabilities in educational settings. This emphasis on improving instruction and assessment is vital as it directly impacts student learning and engagement. By focusing on these areas, DIDEA aims to provide educators with the tools and strategies necessary to better assess student progress and tailor instruction to meet diverse learning needs. This holistic approach ensures that educational practices are grounded in effective assessment, ultimately leading to improved outcomes for both students and teachers.

While physical education and health, after-school programs, and teacher performance evaluation are important aspects of education, they do not encapsulate the core mission of DIDEA, which is centered around enriching the quality of teaching and assessment in the classroom environment.
