Definition
- Benchmarking is the practice of identifying, understanding, and adopting the successful business practices and processes used by other companies to increase success. In terms of curriculum studies, benchmark assessment is the means of assessing student knowledge for the purpose of being accountable or competitive, resulting in curriculum decisions being based on what other schools and school districts do for their students in another place and time rather than on the needs of one's current students.
