Educator Resources

Guides for interpreting results, planning instruction, and running assessments well.

Interpreting skill states

  • Demonstrated — enough evidence and consistent success under the assessment's policy
  • Developing — partial success; targeted practice recommended
  • Emerging — few items correct; direct instruction recommended
  • Insufficient Evidence — too few items to say; gather more evidence
  • Maintained — demonstrated on consecutive formal assessments
  • Needs Reassessment — evidence is old

Above-grade probes

The adaptive engine sometimes tries harder items to find a student's ceiling. Misses on skills above the student's enrolled grade are shown as "not yet expected," not as gaps.

Running a testing session

  • Check accommodations before the window opens
  • Use the live monitor to pause and resume sessions
  • Release results to families after you review them
