	National Curriculum assessment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		National Curriculum assessments are a series of educational assessments carried out on children in English, Welsh and Northern Irish schools that follow the National Curriculum.
		The exam-based assessments (National Curriculum Tests) are often referred to as SATs (Standard, or Statutory, Assessment Tests), which was their title when they were being developed in the 1990s.
		The assessments are carried out at three ages: seven (school year 2, the end of Key Stage 1), eleven (school year 6, the end of Key Stage 2) and fourteen (school year 9, the end of Key Stage 3).

	Critical Issue: Integrating Standards into the Curriculum
		After examining the national and state standards, the curriculum committee is responsible for adopting, adapting, or creating the standards to be emphasized in the curriculum framework.
		National frameworks include those written by national organizations (such as the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and the National Science Education Standards developed by the National Research Council).
		When curriculum development is a dynamic process involving the entire educational community, it is imperative that classroom teachers fully understand the latest teaching and learning research, the content standards and the knowledge required to meet those standards, and the student-performance levels required to demonstrate that students have learned what they need to have learned.

		Most national indicators of the curriculum that students experience in American high schools are based on survey data from sources such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS).
		This analysis allowed us to determine how well survey data measure curriculum, as compared with data that are closer to the actual instructional process; to recommend a set of procedures for periodically validating data collected from large-scale surveys; and to suggest enhancements in the type and number of items included on those surveys.
		This study represents a first step toward ensuring that curriculum indicators are valid and reliable measures of the instruction occurring in the nation's classrooms.
