    • Three parallel exams administered at different times of the year:
      • Form A diagnostic pretest gives a quick overview of where students are at the beginning of the school year.
      • Optional Form B formative test gives a quick overview of where students are at midyear.
      • Form C post-test provides psychometrically sound Student Growth Measures and Teacher Effectiveness Ratings at the end of the school year.
    • follow blueprints similar to those used on the state assessments.
    • identify instructional strengths and weaknesses that can be used to set teacher, school, and district improvement goals for future years.
  • Short Cycle Web Assessments (SCWA)
    • administered throughout the school year
    • individual assessments for each learning standard with weekly Progress Reports
    • provide a deep dive into the strength and weaknesses of individual students for each learning standard
    • provide formative data for each learning standard so interventions can be planned for the current school year
