Our Evaluation Approach

The difference is in the interpretation.

Test scores are only part of the picture. We connect findings across sources and consider the context to understand what they mean for each student.

  1. The question

    What are we trying to understand?

  2. The assessment

    What information will help us answer it?

  3. The pattern

    What emerges across findings, tasks, and settings?

  4. The interpretation

    What might explain the findings?

  5. The direction

    What should happen next?
