This section of the Framework provides information for
teachers about using assessment in a standards-based curriculum.
For specific information about Alaska's Assessment programs
(Benchmarks, HSGQE, TerraNova, etc.) go to: http://www.eed.state.ak.us/tls/assessment/.
"Assessment and instruction often become indistinguishable
because the assessment activities are an immediate
and integral component of instruction."

Alaska State Frameworks, 1996 |
A standards-based assessment program provides information
about the critical educational goals to a variety of audiences,
students, teachers and parents, but also the school, the
district, and the state. No one type of assessment tool
can meet all of the needs for information or demonstrate
the attainment of the Alaska content standards.
The following information about standards-based assessments
will help teachers find different classroom-based assessments
that can clarify and guide instructional decisions.
