End of Course Assessment

To ensure that all students have mastered a core body of knowledge and skills before graduation, many states are preparing standardized curriculum-based exams, known as End-of-Course Assessment. These exams measure what students know and are able to do upon completion of required high school courses, such as Algebra, Geometry, Biology, and U.S. History.

American Diploma Project


Pearson was selected to work with the American Diploma Project (ADP) Network states to deliver a new Algebra II exam and an Algebra I exam. The project marks the largest effort ever undertaken by a group of states to develop a common assessment based on common standards.

The project is an initiative of the ADP Network, a group of 35 states committed to preparing all students for college and work. ADP Network states educate nearly 85% of all U.S. public school students. The ADP Network, formed by the bi-partisan, non-profit organization Achieve, Inc., at the 2005 National Education Summit on High Schools, helps states align high school standards, assessments, curriculum and accountability with the demands of college and work.
