Assessment Literacy Standards for Teachers Version 4.0
I. Dispositions Teachers should believe that: A. Clear learning targets that are understood by students are necessary for learning and assessment. B. Quality assessments are a critical attribute of effective teaching and learning. C. Effective feedback is critical to support learning. D. Students should be active partners in learning how to use assessment results to improve their learning. E. Assessment results should be used to make instructional decisions to improve learning. G. An effective assessment system must balance different purposes for different users and use varied
methods of assessment and communication. H. Multiple measures can provide a more balanced picture of a student or a school. I. Grading is an exercise in professional judgment, not just a numerical, mechanical exercise. II. Knowledge Teachers should know: A. What constitutes “balance” in an assessment system? 1. Different users have different assessment purposes 2. Different assessment purposes may require different assessment methods B. There are different purposes for student assessment:
1. Student improvement 2. Instructional program improvement 3. Student, teacher or system accountability 4. Program evaluation
