NOT recommend that our assessments be used for grading
purposes.
The
main purpose of our assessments is to provide information
that serves to link assessments with instruction.
The
following descriptions give an overview of each type
of assessment, including the main purpose, average
score ranges, and alignment with standards.

level groups,
• determination of effective class-sizing recommendations
for Student Performance Based Groups (SPBGs), and
• customization of the textbook Scope and Sequence
by grade level.
