Standards-based assessment allows teachers to identify essential skills, evaluate student work fairly, and provide actionable feedback, while using data to inform lesson revisions. It emphasizes constructive alignment, ensuring coherence between learning outcomes, teaching activities, and assessments to support meaningful student learning. The K-12 assessment guidelines include content standards that define necessary knowledge, performance standards that outline achievement expectations, and various assessment types like formative and summative assessments.

1. STANDARD-BASED ASSESSMENT

2. What is Standard-based Assessment?
•Standards-based assessment is meant to offer a
way that teachers can identify the skills that
matter most, can evaluate student work fairly,
can give feedback to students that is helpful and
actionable, and can use data to revise upcoming
lessons to meet their students' needs.

3. 1. Constructive Alignment
• Constructive Alignment is a teaching principle that combines
constructivism, the idea that learners construct or create meaning out
of learning activities and what they learn, and alignment, a curriculum
design concept that emphasizes the importance of defining and
achieving intended learning outcomes.
• The goal of Constructive Alignment then, is to support students in
developing as much meaning and learning as possible from a well
designed, coherent, and aligned course. Courses are congruent and
cohere in an explicit way when there is good fit and flow between a
course’s intended learning outcomes, teaching and learning activities,
and assessments of student learning.
