# Planning for Assessment The Process of establishing an efficient and effective Assessment Culture and Policy offers some significant challenges but also continuing benefits. If you are a school seeking to transition to a new assessment culture, a school seeking to improve its assessment culture, or simply a school wishing to reflect on its established culture, there will be challenges. These challenges can be reduced by ensuring all staff are capable, have access to relevant and accessible resources, feel they are included in the transition, evolution or reflection cycle, and will benefit in some way from the effort required. ## **Phase 1: Preparation (Establishing Capabilities and Resources)** {% content-ref url="phase-one-preparation-establishing-capabilities-and-resources" %} [phase-one-preparation-establishing-capabilities-and-resources](https://guide.fariaedu.com/assessment-a-whole-school-approach/phase-one-preparation-establishing-capabilities-and-resources) {% endcontent-ref %} ## **Phase 2: Implementation (Design and Implementation/Integration)** {% content-ref url="phase-two-implementation-design-and-implementation-integration" %} [phase-two-implementation-design-and-implementation-integration](https://guide.fariaedu.com/assessment-a-whole-school-approach/phase-two-implementation-design-and-implementation-integration) {% endcontent-ref %} ## **Phase 3: Monitoring and Review (Feedback, Reflection and Revision)** {% content-ref url="phase-three-feedback-and-reflection" %} [phase-three-feedback-and-reflection](https://guide.fariaedu.com/assessment-a-whole-school-approach/phase-three-feedback-and-reflection) {% endcontent-ref %}
