Non-Summative Assessments
We provide a variety of free assessments for teachers in Grades 3-8 to use throughout the school year. These assessments are called non-summative assessments. We offers the following non-summative assessments:
Benchmark Assessments
Benchmark Assessments are designed to measure student progress at key points throughout the school year, typically at the beginning and mid-year. These assessments provide educators with valuable insights into student learning, helping them identify strengths and areas needing improvement before high-stakes summative evaluations. Modeled after the West Virginia General Summative Assessment, Benchmark Assessments align with state standards and reflect similar question formats, ensuring consistency in measuring student knowledge and readiness.
They serve as a formative tool for teachers, allowing them to adjust instruction based on data-driven analysis. By tracking academic growth over time, Benchmark Assessments support personalized learning approaches, intervention strategies, and targeted skill development to ensure students stay on track for college and career readiness.
Modules
Modules are short, targeted assessments designed to evaluate specific "chunks" of content, allowing educators to measure student understanding on a focused set of skills or concepts. These assessments can be administered at various points throughout the school year, providing valuable insights into student progress and readiness for more comprehensive evaluations. By offering a flexible approach to testing, Modules support differentiated instruction, enabling teachers to identify areas where students excel or need additional support.
They can be used to reinforce learning, track mastery of standards, and guide instructional adjustments. Whether utilized as formative assessments, practice tests, or quick knowledge checks, Modules serve as an effective tool for maintaining academic progress and ensuring students are prepared for larger assessments and overall curriculum goals.
Test Authoring
Test Authoring is a versatile tool that empowers educators to design customized assessments tailored to their instructional goals and student needs. With access to an extensive question bank, teachers can select from a wide variety of pre-existing items or generate new test questions aligned with specific learning standards. This flexibility ensures that assessments accurately reflect curriculum objectives and provide meaningful insights into student progress.
The platform includes robust organizational features, allowing educators to categorize and describe tests effectively. Additionally, users can preview and refine test items before finalizing assessments, ensuring clarity and alignment with learning outcomes.
Once completed, tests can be published for online delivery, facilitating seamless digital administration, or formatted for traditional paper-based testing. By streamlining the test creation process, Test Authoring enhances assessment efficiency, supports data-driven instruction, and provides educators with valuable tools to measure student understanding while maintaining instructional integrity.
