In Third through Sixth grade, assessments from CORE are used. Assessment of students performance is used to determine what students need to learn and what teachers need to teach. It is also used to determine what students have already learned well. Indicators of critical skills and strategies are used to identify students at risk and in need of specialized instruction. Ongoing assessment of students' performance is linked closely to instruction and curriculum activities as well as school-site goals, district and state standards.
Teachers receive training and support to manage assessment.
Running Records, Portfolios, Scholastic Unit tests and teacher's judgment are used to document performance. Summative assessment assists sites, districts, and the state in monitoring the effectiveness of established programs.
