Characteristics of Good Assessment The content of the tests (the knowledge and skills assessed) should match the teacher's educational objectives and instructional emphases. The test items should represent the full range of knowledge and skills that are the primary targets of instruction. Expectations for student performance should be clear. NCREL: http://web.archive.org/web/20051024083623/http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/stw_esys/4assess.htm
