What is the Achievement Series?
Achievement Series is a powerful web-based
district wide assessment solution that allows
K-12 educators to develop and administer online
and paper-based tests, capture immediate results,
and produce standards-based reports. Used for all
grade levels and subject areas, this
district-wide solution gives administrators and
teachers the data they need to monitor student
progress and guide instruction.

Lets take a moment to clarifyFormative
Assessment

• Assessment should be more than merely a test at
  the end of instruction to see how students
  perform under special conditions.
• It should be an integral part of instruction that
  informs and guides teachers as they make
  instructional decisions.
• Assessment should not merely be done to students.
• It should also be done for students to guide and
  enhance their learning
• (NCTMs Principles and Standards for School
  Mathematics, 2000)

Formative vs. Summative (Pre-Test)
(Post-test)Assessment

• When the cook tastes the soup, thats formative
  assessment when the customer tastes the soup,
  thats summative assessment (Black 1998).
