Standards Referenced approaches, like in our current system, use the standards as guidelines for instruction. A Standards Based Approach would be a system whereby students are assessed according to each standard. See Approach 4 in Chapter 5 of Formative Assessment & Standards Based Grading. I prefer a Standards Based Approach.

# data[].attributes.body
Standards referenced is based on specific learning goals and students move on even if material is not mastered. Standards based is mastery of content. I believe standards based is more beneficial because we have students who move on to high school on elementary reading levels. We are not fully preparing them to reach their potential.

# data[].attributes.body
Standards Based is harder if the whole class cannot move on unless all students have mastered the content. Standards-referenced starts starts by rewriting the standards at each grade level and is more realistic for our approach.

Standards based is where students move up and down a continuum of knowledge based on what they demonstrate that they know. Standards referenced students is where all students have the same standards based on the age group they fall into. I think that allowing students to progress at their own level would be optimal but not practical.

# data[].attributes.body
A standards referenced system to me is more doable in our current setting. It is designed to accompany teaching state standards and tracking progress using formative and summative scores for each standard. It is most like what we use. However, in our current system I may hit several standards in a given week and may not assess all of them.
In a standards based system students are grouped by their level of understanding with a standard and do not move up until they understand. This allows for students to learn at their own pace.

A standards based approach is what we currently use in our district. Students are not locked into a specific grade level based on their age. With each subject they move up and down a continuum of knowledge or skill based on their demonstrated competence.

In the standards referenced approach students progress is measured from formative and summative assessments.

We use standard referenced approach and move on. Standard based would be better. You need to put kids into classes where they have similar backgrounds in the concept.

A standards-based approach is when the students stay on a standard until it is mastered. A standards-referenced approach is when the skills are taught and the class moves on whether skills are mastered or not. :(

S.R. teach it , test it, & move on.
S.B. teach it til they get it. Once they got it, move on.

Standards Referenced approach is better for students for progress relationship to their level in achieving the goal needed specifically.    Objectives are measurable. This is what works for all students performance. This is the best of all approaches.

# data[].attributes.body
In a standards-referenced system, achievement is reported in relationship to the student achieving each specific goal.  The student is allowed to move on even though all goals are not met. Standards based system does not allow the student to move on until all goals are met. I prefer the standards based system.

In Standards Based Approach, students advance through the system based on achievement of each level.  In Standard Referenced Approach , students advance at the same pace as other students at the same age.    I believe the Standards Based Approach is more beneficial to students.

# data[].attributes.body
Standards referenced is giving all students from one age group the same standards whereas standards based approach is based on the standards each child should meet or has met. Standards based meets students at their level of learning.

# data[].attributes.body
The standard referenced approach uses formative and summative scores. The objectives are organized into measurable student objectives. This is similar to the Compass Rubric.

The standard-based approach is when the students are not limited to their grade-level based on their age but can progress in learning. I prefer this approach.

PURPERA

A standards based approach involves students having to master skills before they can be promoted to next level.

I believe the standards based approach is ideal, but it would require a complete transition/overhaul of the current school system.

# data[].attributes.body
A standards based approach would make more sense to me, but is it something we will see? ....Probably not.  A standards based approach would require the "system" to rethink and revamp itself.  I strongly believe that we would see more student success and growth.

# data[].attributes.body
A standard based approach is to get the student to get at least a basic level

# data[].attributes.body
A standards referenced approach a student's achievement is reported in relationship to his position on the scales for specific learning goals.

A standard base students do not move on to a new level until they have been mastered.

I feel the standard referenced approach is the most beneficial to the students

# data[].attributes.body
In the standards-based approach students are not locked into a specific grade. It is simply levels of knowledge. The standards-referenced approach is based on the measurement of topics. I believe that the standards-based approach would better serve students since it evaluates them on their proficiency level, but it seems too radical a shift from the normal structure of schools which follows the grade level approach.

The standard based approach is at an individual level.

A standard reference approach uses formative and summative assessment to track student's progress based on a scale designed by the school district (strands). The scores are based on weighted and unweighted average.

Standard Based Appoached the students are not locked into grade level based on their age, but can move up and down the continuum based on the knowledge or skill based on demonstrated competence.  There are no grade level per se. Students receive instruction at their appropriate levels.

I think that we should continue with the standard reference approach.

# data[].attributes.body
In a Standards-reference approach, goals are used to formatively and summatively score students on set goals for a subject area in a specific grade level curriculum. Students do not move on until they have shown at least approaching basic in the goals. This one is better, because this is what we have now.

In a Standards-based approach, goals are not set by grade level, but by "levels" of knowledge. This would make a radical change in the way we grade and assess students.

A standards referenced approach demonstrates the progress of students through the standards using formative and summative assessments.  Using this approach, I feel the parents, teachers, and students would be able to see which standards they have mastered.
A standards based approach demonstrates the progress of the students through the subject area not the grade level.  The students move up and down according to the continuum of knowledge (the students are in charge of their education - based on their level of competence).

In a standards referenced system, achievement is reported in relationship to a student's position on the scale for their learning goal. In a standards referenced system, students do not move on until they have mastered content at their current level. In my opinion, students in chorus may benefit better from a standards based system, as they should not move to a more advanced performance group before they have learned certain music theory skills

# data[].attributes.body
Referenced: students move to next content whether they have mastered the learning goals or not.
Standards: students move to the next content once they master the current learning goals. There are no grade levels per se, only levels of mastery.
I prefer the latter. However, it would take a major overhaul of our current system.

# data[].attributes.body
In the Standards Referenced Approach, a district must first reorganize or reconstitute state standards into a format that can be used to track student progress using formative and summative scores. In the Standard Based Approach, students are not locked into a specific grade level based on their age. In my opinion, Standard Based Approach is more beneficial to students, especially those with IEPs and 504 Plans.

# data[].attributes.body
A standards-referenced approach uses formative and summative scores through a series of learning goals.

A standards-based approach uses a "competency" system.  This system does not discriminate by grade level or age.

Obviously, a standards-based approach is more beneficial for students.  This will help in ultimate goal of determining college readiness vs. trade.  A "one-size-fits-all" approach has failed our school system, students, and teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
A standards referenced system, a student's achievement is reported in relationship to his or her position on the scales for specific learning goals. If the student does not achieve a specific score on the scales for these goals, the student still moves on to new learning goals the next year.
A standards-based system does not let students move on to a new level of content until they have mastered the content at their current level.
In art, standards-based works more accurately. For instance, a student should not move onto a grayscale realistic drawing of a face if they cannot understand how to do a value scale with an ebony pencil and blending stump.
