Description of Assessments
Duration of Assessments
Star Assessments are short tests that provide teachers with personalized learning data for each student. Star tests are computer adaptive, which means they adjust in difficulty to each answer students provide. The SANDI is a user-friendly, comprehensive summative and formative assessment that provides useful and immediate feedback to both teachers and administrators on each student's strengths and needs.
The STAR assessment is given upon entry into the program and then again to students once a quarter in both ELA and Math.
