Distinctions Between Standards-Based and Standards-Referenced
Distinctions Between Standards-Based and Standards-Referenced
Educational Systems
Developed by Dr. Robert J. Marzano
Standards Based
- System based on defined number of learning levels
- Students advance through the system based on achievement of each level
- Standards are used to guide curriculum and student progress is measured and used to determine advancement
- Students advance through system at their own pace
- Learning is the constant; time is the variable
Standards Referenced
- System based on traditional grade levels
- Students advance through the system at the same pace as other students of the same age
- Students will advance with varying levels of knowledge and skills
- Standards are used to guide curriculum and measure student progress
- Some promotion decisions may be made based on standards
- Time is the constant; learning is the variable
