Criterion-Referenced Information

OBJECTIVE SCORE
WHAT IT ISIndication of whether a student’s score for a test objective meets grade-level expectations
WHY IT IS USEFULClassifies student performance independently of how other students did on the test objective
WHY IT CAN BE CONFUSINGStudent performance classification for an objective is based on only a subset of test items, so classification will be influenced by chance to some degree. However, summary information at the class, school, district levels are much more stable.
