Assessment is the systematic process of gathering information about students' learning in order to describe what they know, are able to do and are working toward.

Reporting is the making of a formal account of students from evidence and information collected in assessments, observations, conferencing and investigation.

Recording is the setting down in writing the actions or achievements of students for the purpose of providing students and parents with feedback and to plan further instructional and learning activities.
