Find the right assessment solution
for your goals
Educational reformer John Dewey said, “A problem well put is half solved.” To bring students up to grade-level standards, you need to know where kids are in their learning, where gaps exist and why, and what steps to take to move them forward. An adaptive assessment tool can help you get up and running.
How do you find the right assessment tool for your needs? In this article, we’ll look at four key areas to consider, the questions to ask when evaluating solutions, and how MAP® Growth™ is a good fit for these assessment purposes.
