Data Driven Instructional Decisions
Regular assessment – aligned to standards and embedded in curriculum – can have a powerful and positive impact on student achievement. Interim assessments can be a key component of understanding student progress, supporting learning, and promoting equity by helping teachers understand student progress and personalize instruction to help meet their needs.
The CenterPoint interim assessments, available in English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics for grades K-11, are a standards-based solution that helps drive professional learning community work and instructional decision-making. The pre-designed or custom developed assessments use high-quality items to deliver reliable and accurate data that help administrators and educators determine student progress towards college and career readiness.
Schools that use EL Education now have the option of using interim assessments that were built specifically for use with the high-quality curriculum. CenterPoint’s web-based, curriculum-aligned, grades 3-8 interim assessments mirror the EL Education Language Arts curriculum scope and sequence and were designed to complement the existing embedded formative assessments.
Schools that use the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum now have access to assessments that give teachers information specifically about students’ progress on the curriculum and its underlying standards.
Assessments are available for:
CenterPoint’s interim assessments were developed by educators for educators and use a variety of item types, including machine-scorable and technology-enhanced items, along with teacher-scored constructed response items. For both ELA/literacy and mathematics, the field-tested assessments measure grade-level standards using items that are similar in rigor and task type to next-generation, best-in-class state summative assessments:
“I can’t think of a teacher, school leader, or system leader who doesn’t want the most precise measurement tool possible. It’s hard to find anything as good as what CenterPoint provides – I spent three years trying, and I couldn’t.”
