Standards-Based Assessment

Standards-Based Assessment is a way of measuring student learning by comparing their progress to clear, predefined goals called standards. Instead of simply awarding a letter grade, it shows whether students have mastered specific skills or knowledge, such as reading comprehension or mathematical problem-solving. This approach provides detailed feedback on what students are doing well and what they need to improve. It promotes a more accurate understanding of student achievement and helps educators tailor instruction to meet individual needs, ultimately supporting more effective learning outcomes.
