[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] If you do that, you're comparing curricula, not standards. [/quote] Do you understand the purpose of curricula? It is designed to teach standards or objectives. [/quote] Actually a curriculum is what teachers use to teach students so that the students are able to meet the standards or objectives. In any case, the PP's question was, how do you test a standard? If you compare the performance of Class A, where Teacher A used Curriculum A in order to meet Standards A, to the performance of Class B, where Teacher B used Curriculum B in order to meet Standards B, you are not testing the standards. You are evaluating the teachers and the curricula. And yes, the curriculum is supposed to be aligned to the standards. But it is possible base both a bad curriculum and a good curriculum on exactly the same standards. So -- how do you test a standard? And what are you testing it for? [/quote]
