Preferred term

alternative academic assessment  

Definition

  • Alternative academic assessment (AAA) is a class of procedures that are commonly used to assess student progress within the context of the curriculum to inform instruction. AAA is described as alternative because the measurement approaches are often used as an alternative to published norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests.
