Locally-developed assessments include grade-level tests, department tests, district-wide assessments and teacher-made tests. Departmental tests are developed by teachers at a single school to standardized curriculum goals throughout a subject area. District-wide tests are developed by teachers in collaboration with curriculum specialists to measure course and grade-level content goals (Tucker & Stronge, 2005). Teachers can use their own, non-standardized assessments for a variety of purposes.
