Custom Large Scale

Today, states have established academic goals and standards for student learning in core subjects. To measure students’ progress toward achieving these goals, custom-built assessment systems are regularly used to measure student performance. The standards and the assessment system are critical partners in driving teaching, learning, equity, and accountability in a state.

Custom built assessments reflect the unique needs and circumstances each state faces. Curriculum and teaching strategies inform the creation of test content and how tests are built. School infrastructure and enrollment, among other factors, determine how tests are distributed and administered efficiently. Then understanding what the states and other stakeholders need to learn about student performance informs how the tests are scored, reported, and analyzed.
