Employs Technology-Based Assessment Tools

Examples include:

  • Personal portfolios that travel with students from one year—and one geographic setting—to the next, to demonstrate a wide range of skills and knowledge
  • Embedded, technology-based assessment that provides authentic, immediate measurement of student skills and knowledge, as well as suggestions for next steps
  • Information systems that measure student, teacher, school and district performance to:
    – enable individualized instruction
    – facilitate professional development
    – empower accountability and decision-making
