What standards were used to develop the skills checklist tests? How were these tests developed?
The Skills Checklist Tests were developed using different standards in mathematics and reading. The mathematics checklists are based on the Number Sense and Computation strands of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards. The Reading skills checklist tests were based on the National Reading Panel Report, the National Research Council report “Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children,” and the research of Dr. Louisa Cook Moats.
