Summary: Twenty-eight standards for assessing evaluation practices
Review: The Student Evaluation Standards: How To Improve Evaluations Of Students is the production of The Joint Committee On Standards for Educational Evaluation under the chairmanship of Arlen R. Gullickson. Presenting twenty-eight standards for assessing evaluation practices in elementary and secondary classrooms, with each standard being broken down into four essential attributes of sound evaluation, along with definitions, guidelines, common errors, supportive documents, and illustrative case studies, The Student Evaluation Standards is a recommended and seminal reference which competently and accessibly address the issues of Propriety Standards (protecting individual rights); Utility Standards (ensuring that evaluations are timely, informative, and influential); Feasibility Standards (recognizing "real-world" dynamics and environmental influences); and Accuracy standards (determining whether an evaluation has produced sound information). These standards have been approved by the American National Standards Institute and were developed with assistance from members of sixteen professional educational societies and associations.
