California’s grade two assessments.
Scantron’s Performance Series is approved for this use in California schools. Performance Series aligns with Common Core Standards and provides a computer-adaptive assessment to measure student proficiency regardless of grade level. It includes support for pre-readers via the Foundations tests, as well as helping with the transition to standard core ELA and math proficiency. Performance Series is backed by Scantron’s rigorous assessment development and psychometric research, including criterion-referenced norming data available within test results.
Scantron assessment solutions support several of the key components of CDE’s Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy Plan (SRCL):
- Standards and Frameworks
- Articulated and Aligned Curriculum
- Comprehensive, Targeted Instruction and Intervention (via instructional resource partners)
- Educator Preparation and Professional Learning
- Engaging Families and Communities
- Assessment and Progress Monitoring (via the approved Performance Series measure)
- Accountability (via Performance Series reports and Scantron Analytics; see Associated K–12 Solutions, below, for details)
While all the steps are crucial to literacy success, without steps 6 and 7, you may just be guessing. Informal, teacher-based prompts are an important part, but a more holistic assessment approach makes it easy to systematically assess, monitor progress, and demonstrate accountability. Scantron’s solution helps you use assessment data to guide and inform instruction, as well as providing effective early screening and diagnosis tools for grades K–12.
