What does DA mean in UNCLASSIFIED

The purpose of Daily Assessment is to measure individual performance and achievement on a daily basis, often in an educational setting. It can be used to identify areas of improvement, monitor goals and track success over a given period of time.

Depending on the context, Daily Assessment can be conducted either once or multiple times per day. For example, it is common for students complete a DA at the end of each class session to evaluate their progress in that particular course.

The length will depend largely on what sort of activities are done during the assessment, but in general it should not take more than fifteen minutes or so.

A DA should include both formative and summative evaluation components. Formative evaluations focus on feedback about how well someone understand concepts, practices or skills; summative evaluations assess how well someone has mastered those same concepts, practices or skills by synthesizing information from multiple sources such as tests or projects.
