Aligned instructionis important in measuring students learning, If the instruction is aligned, the

teacher can be sure that student assessments measure how well they have mastered what you was
taught.

Finally, aligned intrsuctions helps properly measure the effectiveness of the instruction.
For example, if the intruction is weel alligned but the students poorly demonstrate their mastery of the
stated learning outcome, it can help the teacher target areas for improving his or her instruction. On the
Other hand, misaligned instruction may be fragmented and ineffective. It will cost students to receive
mixed message because the teacher is teaching one thing but essessing the students on something
different altogether . It will cost students to spend time on meaningless activities because they will
practice concepts and skills that aren’t goping to be assessed or used later in any other meaningful way.
And it may cause the teacher to over or underestimate the effectiveness of the instruction. For example,
if the students do poorly on an assessment, one may think it is because the instruction is poor. But
actually, the instruction is outstanding but it doesn’t relate to the assessment or learning objectives.

The activities that follow will help you monitor how well you have understood the concept of
constructive alignment.
