Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment Equals Evaluation of Student Learning Based on the Classroom Assessment Standards

The manuscript demonstrates an instructional approach for teacher evaluation of student learning by using the Classroom Assessment Standards. The Classroom Assessment Standards were developed by the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation which is an international “coalition of major professional associations concerned with the quality of evaluation.”The Classroom Assessment Standards invite colleges of education to “use the standards to inform the development of courses for pre-service educators in the area of assessment.” The Classroom Assessment Standards are the course goals and the framework for assessing progress towards meeting these course goals in the form of standards-based grading.
