This data is still skewed b/c they are still learning English; however, we are still concentrating on content rather than comparing the student to others. ]]> 2016-07-27 23:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nwon/rh5svarwqis5/wish/117098179 Criterion  https://padlet.com/nwon/rh5svarwqis5/wish/117098185 Criterion is better for ELL students because it reflects their knowledge rather than simply comparing them to others. It is still not the best but it is better than norm-referenced because students are not being compared unfairly. ]]> 2016-07-27 23:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nwon/rh5svarwqis5/wish/117098185 Criterion-referenced is "more fair" https://padlet.com/nwon/rh5svarwqis5/wish/117098194 Why?
