Ted Rohling -----Original Message----- From: nifl-assessment@nifl.gov [mailto:nifl-assessment@nifl.gov]On Behalf Of Ira Yankwitt Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 9:46 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-ASSESSMENT:200] Assessment Lingo I'd very much appreciate it if someone on the list could provide some formal yet simple definitions of the following terms (as they relate to student assessment): performance standards, performance indicators, performance measures, performance descriptors, and benchmarks. I use these terms repeatedly and have working notions of what each of them means, but I wouldn't mind some 'standardization.' Thanks in advance.
