| | One type of curriculum-based measurement is Criterion-Referenced Tests
 |
The purpose of these tests is to evaluate student performance in relation
to specific instructional objectives. The information provided is helpful for
instructional decisions, but not for eligibility decisions. These tests are
usually used in later stages of assessment to pinpoint specific skills for
instruction. One basic type of criterion referenced test are regular tests and
quizzes that a teacher administers in the classroom. In addition to these,
three common examples of criterion-referenced tests include:
|

Skills (grade k-6). This measures readiness, reading, spelling, writing, and
