Preferred term

tested curriculum  

Definition(s)

  • The tested curriculum consists of that portion of the curriculum over which a student is tested via national norm-referenced achievement tests, state criteria-referenced tests, and teacher-made tests. Teachers may emphasize the tested curriculum to the detriment of the rest of the curriculum, especially because No Child Left Behind, the federal education act of 2002, requires high-stakes testing of all students Grades 3 to 10.
