- Abstract
The success of students is determined, in part, by their performance on standardized tests. Despite good intentions, however, these tests can be problematic when used to evaluate indigenous students. Norm-referenced test results can be used to make unfair comparisons between indigenous and non-indigenous students when cultural and linguistic barriers that inhibit indigenous success are not considered. This article presents assessment practices that can be used as an alternative to, or in association with, standardized tests to assist with an evaluation of the Canadian Council on Learning's redefined learning objectives.
