1   The goal of NORMES is to "extend the current best practices model of a student centered assessment system developed at the Office of Research, Measurement and Evaluation (ORME) for use in a national center for schools. The University of Arkansas ORME "created a student-centered system of collecting and reporting student data" distributed via the Internet to Arkansas school systems. It is called the Educational Data Delivery System (EDDS), and its public site allows visitors to compare districts and schools by a variety of characteristics including remediation rates.
