It is formatted to assist the teacher assessor in implementing a multi-dimensional, continuum of outcome data that supports the curriculum and instruction. The development, implementation, and evaluation of various assessments will be aligned with state and national standards as well as educational psychology theories. Priority is placed on measuring P-12 student learning through traditional, non-traditional, technology-based, and global assessments that lead to relevant adjustments in instruction based on assessment outcomes.
