Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Standardized tests are typically required by funding sources to measure children's progress in participating programs. These tests provide an objective and consistent assessment of children's skills and abilities, and help funding sources determine whether the program is making a positive impact on children's development. While the fluctuation of every child's growth and development can cause test scores to fluctuate, standardized tests remain a valuable tool for assessing progress and demonstrating program accountability. Option A is partially true, but it is not the best answer, as acknowledging fluctuations is not enough to justify progress. Option C is incorrect, as standardized tests are often required for program accountability.
