Curriculum-Based Assessments are used to test which of the following?

• A. The curriculum being taught.
• B. General intelligence.
• C. School climate.
• D. Student attendance.

Answer: (A)

Curriculum-based assessments focus on measuring what students have learned from the specific material taught in class. They’re closely aligned with unit goals and standards, so teachers can see whether students are mastering the content and skills planned for that curriculum, and use the results to guide instruction. These assessments aren’t designed to gauge general intelligence, school climate, or attendance, which relate to other aspects of schooling rather than the taught content.
