This research paper: 11 pages in length. The fundamental concepts behind traditional (standardized) testing and alternative (nontraditional) testing are the same: to monitor a child's progress through assessment; however, the manner by which each method approaches this shared objective has long been the source of debate within the academic community. For example, English language learners (ELLs) are at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to submitting to traditional assessment formats due to the fact that their individual needs and accomplishments are not evaluated. Kleinert et al (1999) note that utilizing alternative assessment methods, however, overcomes the otherwise neglected areas inherent to standardized testing's multiple choice, norm-referenced, automated format and provides children the ability to express themselves in myriad ways – such as short and long answers, observation and performance – that help educators to formulate a more comprehensive view of individual progress. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
