School-Sized Assessment Solutions

Computer-Adaptive School-Size | Test Less, Know More

With a focus on reducing overall testing time, Scantron’s computer-adaptive solution provides a single test to measure core skills that you can use in your school for multiple purposes, including:

• Identify core subject benchmarks: measure student attainment of foundational skills, independent of grade level.
• Personalized learning/individualized instruction: adjust instruction based on student learning objectives uncovered by assessment results.
• Growth measurement: compare two scores on a similar test given multiple times a year so you can easily see student progress.
• Universal screening: identify students who may require additional instructional intervention and follow that cohort’s progress using performance bands and customizable student groups.
• Standards tracking: examine student results in light of your school’s chosen standards document(s) so you can adjust instruction and report progress to your district without additional work.

Fixed-Form Testing | Assess Core Subjects and More

Scantron’s fixed-form testing solution supports all your subjects in one convenient place. The platform provides fixed-form, highly targeted tests, delivering common content administered using a variety of methods: mobile, online, or on paper.

• School-created items
• Purchased item banks from Scantron or a selection of other assessment providers

A Blended Solution

Educators know that understanding the whole student requires many components—testing, observation, performance-based tasks, student-created artifacts, and more. The combination of all of these components is needed to measure students across all of the hierarchical levels of a cognitive domain.
