Assessment

STMA uses a number of measures to assess and evaluate student progress toward local, state, and national standards and college and career readiness standards. The purpose of the layered assessment system is to screen, progress monitor, determine curriculum effectiveness, personalize student instruction, evaluate program effectiveness, gauge instructional strategy effectiveness, determine student program placement, diagnose learning difficulties, determine state/federal accountability, and inform students and parents of student progress.

Assessment Results

Summative and formative assessment results are extremely beneficial to the STMA staff and the District and are utilized in a variety of ways. Assessment results are often used

  • to create flexible grouping of students and differentiation by classroom teachers,
  • as indicators for student placement,
  • to inform students, parents and educators of academic progress,
  • to assess curriculum effectiveness,
  • and guide student instruction.
