Standards, Standard setting and Accountability in the Netherlands.

Declining PISA results and disappointing results on Computer Adaptive entrance tests for teacher training result in a national initiative in the Netherlands to raise the level of student&#8217,s performance on Dutch language and mathematics at different levels of education. For this purpose, Cito has been asked to develop tests corresponding with consecutive reference levelsat different stages in a student career: end of primary education, end of basic education, end of&#160,secondary education and end of senior secondary education. At each stage basic competence levels are determined. Some of these levels correspond with national examination levels.&#160,Furthermore, Cito is involved in the development of fully adaptive exams. In vocational&#160,education starting in 2014, based on Cito&#8217,s experience with the teacher training entrance tests, adaptive exams will be available.In this presentation we will discuss different views on standards and standard setting&#160,procedures in relation to schools accountability and high stakes testing.
