Improve Student Achievement with Standards-Based Mini Tests
Mini Tests constitute an integral part of a robust and balanced assessment system. A well-implemented assessment plan that includes embedded Mini Tests ensures that students and teachers remain engaged in feedback and instruction—measuring students’ success in learning material and providing schools with data to make within-year programmatic decisions to help improve student achievement.
The PRISM project seeks to enhance the KAP Balanced Assessment System. Browse our collection of Mini Test resources and use the KAP Instructional Mini Test Guide to get started.
