Through-year Assessment
A unified solution to measure grade-level achievement and growth
We must do better. Now, we can.
The status quo is not working. Students are taking many tests, yet states don’t have a view into how much learning happens during the school year, and districts want summative test results that are more instructionally useful.
Through-year assessment from NWEA
empowers states to streamline interim growth and summative tests into a single unified solution.
Multiple measures from one solution
With through-year assessment, districts and states can measure fall-to-spring growth as well as annual changes in summative performance. Plus, teachers receive both on- and off-grade level information in the fall, winter, and spring to inform teaching and learning.
Watch and learn
It’s time to move beyond measuring learning to fostering it. See what’s different about our new approach to assessment.
A more accurate view of school performance
Most summative assessments only show what students know each spring. Through-year assessment also reveals how students grew from fall to spring, regardless of achievement level, to provide a more comprehensive view of school performance.
