Students know how the teacher expects them to show what they ve learned. Students frequently evaluate their own work before the teacher does, using the same criteria. Feedback to students is related to performance levels on standards, not based on comparison with other students. Student performance data is used to revise curriculum and instruction. The assessment system includes a balance of external tests for program evaluation and classroom assessments for individual student diagnosis and instruction.
Students have multiple opportunities to demonstrate achievement of standards.
Assessment of student achievement is consistent across teachers and schools, using common performance indicators. Teachers work with colleagues to share and compare scoring of classroom-based assessments. This site usesAcrobat Reader extensively.
