Expanded and more systematic professional development is recommended, along with gathering more information. The test is secure, so parents are not able to review it. Test results are reported, in English only, in 4 months after administration to students, parents, schools and the public. In general, Indiana does not meet this standard well. Some states with commercial tests do allow parents to review the exams under secure conditions.
Public information is insufficient, though reporting is timely for a large- scale assessment.
The state itself has not formally reviewed the state assessment program, nor does it evaluate or survey district, school or classroom assessment. It has been reviewed for how well it assesses critical thinking, and technical studies have been done. No plans for changes exist. The review process contains a few of the important elements, but leaves most out. Indiana responded to the full FairTest survey.
