A VARIETY OF WAYS TO MEASURE STUDENT PERFORMANCE
Assessing students’ increased knowledge only on standardized tests has always been the easiest way for teachers to determine that students are capturing the information being taught .
The problem with standardized tests is that they focus primarily on math and reading and don’t take into account other subjects and skills that students should develop. These tests may be a part of the academic performance assessment, not the whole part. Students can be assessed on multiple measures such as :
- Portfolio or notebooks of student work in all subjects.
- Exams
- Critical thinking skills
- Problem solving skills
- Group projects
- Written and oral presentations
- Class projects and experiments
Including these measures along with standardized tests would not only encourage teachers to teach a wide range of subjects well, but would also meet the goal of preparing all children for college .

Use the following tips to help students succeed:
- Motivation . To help motivate students to discover what they are passionate about and use their interests to connect with their school work.
- Organization . For many students, something as simple as staying organized is the key to academic success. To help students stay organized, organize and label all materials and notebooks and keep a checklist of essential tasks.
- Time management . Learning to prioritize and manage time can be difficult for students. To help them manage their time, keep track of homework by creating a school calendar.
