These are computer-based applications that provide districts with data rich reports on a district, building, class or student level. Districts utilize this data to help guide instructional decision making, analyze student achievement and growth as well as evaluate the effectiveness of curriculum and programming, and fulfilling Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) requirements. These assessments are also utilized in Response To Intervention (RTI) programs, Academic Intervention Services (AIS), universal screening, benchmarking and progress monitoring.
