Their implementation however depends upon teachers action inside classroom and upon the way they conduct students assessment.

The results of students assessment answer to various stakeholders questions. For instance, schools need to know whether their can show a high level of achievement, mainly after an exam or an external evaluation. Teachers, by their side, need to confirm if their students had learned or not as well as to know how good they are when compared to other students results. Family, parents, and students themselves need to know how students are doing in relation to performance standards. School administrations, including the educational system, need to know how schools and their teachers are performing to get good assessment results. Thus, to perform adequate classroom assessment teachers will need to improve knowledge and practices about it. How to do it? The main purpose of this paper is to present and discuss some ideas and strategies related to the empowerment of teachers in classroom assessment.
