Assessment and Evaluation Standards

Assessment and evaluation standards are guidelines that ensure the process of measuring and judging performance or learning is fair, accurate, and consistent. Assessment refers to gathering information about a person's knowledge or skills, such as tests or projects. Evaluation involves interpreting this information to make informed judgments, like assigning grades. Standards set clear criteria and quality benchmarks to ensure assessments are reliable, objective, and meaningful. This helps educators and organizations make fair decisions, improve teaching or training methods, and support meaningful learning or performance outcomes.
