  2. Assessment of Student Learning Students participate in a variety of on-going classroom assessments.  Teachers use the information gathered to help plan for instruction to improve student learning.  In addition, formal assessments are administered at various grade levels.  Some of the formal assessments are state ordistrict mandated assessments, and a few are administered based on student and/or parent choice.

  5. District AssessmentsMeasures of Academic Progress Beginning in the fall of 2004, Cheney Public Schools has been testing students in grades 2-10 with the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). In 2008, testsfor Kindergarten and first grade were added. MAP has been created by Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) and is a series of computerized tests that measure students’ general knowledge. MAP is a computerized adaptive test. The difficulty of the test is adjusted to the student’s performance, and improvement over time can be measured with this test. Reviewing our Present…Planning our Future

  6. State Assessments The Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) and High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE) measure how well students have mastered the Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs) as specified in the Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) in reading, mathematics, writing, and science. The WASL is comprised of multiple-choice, short answer, and essay questions. To view state assessment results for Washington’s schools, visit http://reportcard.ospi.k12.wa.us.

  8. SAT The new SAT Reasoning Test™ was administered for the first time on March 12, 2005. Changes to the test include the addition of third-year college preparatory math, more critical reading, and a new writing section. The College Board made these changes to better reflect what students study in high school. Total Testing Time: 3 hours and 45 minutes, including an unscored 25-minute variable section (which helps in the development of future test questions). Reviewing our Present…Planning our Future

  9. SAT Writing A new writing section has been added to the test. Students are asked to write an essay that requires them to take a position on an issue and use reasoning and examples to support their position. The essay is similar to the type of writing required on in-class college essay exams. Multiple-choice questions measure a student's ability to identify sentence errors, improve sentences, and improve paragraphs. Math The new math section includes topics from third-year college-preparatory math, such as exponential growth, absolute value, functional notation, and negative and fractional exponents. Quantitative comparisons have been eliminated. Critical Reading The critical reading section, previously known as the verbal section, includes short and long reading passages. Analogies have been eliminated, but sentence-completion questions remain. Reviewing our Present…Planning our Future

  10. ACT The ACT is America's most widely accepted college entrance exam. It assesses high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. The multiple-choice tests cover four skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science. The Writing Test, which is optional, measures skill in planning and writing a short essay.
