Broad-based assessment methods

Broad-based assessment methods refer to a variety of evaluation techniques used to gather comprehensive information about an individual's skills, understanding, or abilities across multiple areas. Unlike single-measure assessments, these methods consider different formats—such as tests, observations, portfolios, or interviews—to provide a well-rounded understanding. They aim to capture a person's strengths and challenges in real-world contexts, helping educators, employers, or professionals make informed decisions about learning, development, or support needs. Overall, broad-based assessments offer a holistic view, ensuring more accurate and effective insights.
