Abstract
This capstone study examined some of the issues surrounding the use of standardized assessment in the province of Alberta. Through an examination of the purpose of both classroom and external assessments, the function of standardized testing is clarified. Additionally, this capstone study explored the positive and negative impacts on educational stakeholders, specifically students and teachers, that accompany the use of standardized assessments. Finally, this capstone study discussed the benefits of a balanced assessments system, clarified the roles and responsibilities of individuals involved in such a system, particularly school leaders, and offered practical suggestions on how to develop assessment literacy and build a balanced assessment system within their schools.
