The term, "standardized tests," means that these tests are always administered with the same directions and time limits, and are always scored the same way, to ensure fairness for all students.

WHY?

The term, "standardized tests," means that these tests are always administered with the same directions and time limits, and are always scored the same way, to ensure fairness for all students.

Both standard and criterion-referenced assessments are used to monitor student achievement and also to evaluate system-wide progress towards meeting the goals of the DoDEA Community Strategic Plan.

 

Specifically, standardized assessments are designed to see how well our students perform compared to other students the same age throughout the nation. While, criterion-referenced assessments indicate how well students are performing based on the DoDEA Curriculum Standards.
