Assessment is an integral part of instruction, as it determines whether or not the goals of education are being met.
Assessment affects decisions about grades, placement, advancement, instructional needs, curriculum, and, in some cases, funding.
Assessment inspires us to ask these hard questions: "Are we teaching what we think we are teaching?" "Are students learning what they are supposed to be learning?" "Is there a way to teach the subject better, thereby promoting better learning?"
All 2nd-8th grade students will participate in a statewide assessment called the ACAP Summative.
