Standards-based Assessment

Standards-based Assessment: (What it is?)

• Indicates what students know and are able to do;
• Measures a student’s progress toward the attainment of a standard;
• Indicates if the student has mastered the standard;
• Is on going;
• Clearly communicates expectations ahead of time;
• Is authentic to the learning experiences of the students, based on complex tasks, as opposed to rote memory;
• Occurs when appropriate, not just on scheduled days. Often uses tasks that reveal common misunderstandings so teachers can see whether students have truly learned the material;
• Grades are based on the results of multiple experiences over time.
