Elementary Interim Performance Assessments
SCALE Science Elementary Interim Performance Assessments provide the missing link for high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) implementation by surfacing students’ assets and areas for growth from one unit, and using them as evidence-based enhancement for the next unit.
Why Use the SCALE elementary Interim Performance Assessments?
These assessments enhance implementation of HQIM by monitoring students’ progress with 3D science standards and providing teachers, students, and leaders with evidence-based adjustments to deepen students’ ongoing learning. By emphasizing a combination of discourse, drawing, and writing the assessments create opportunities for all students to demonstrate their learning and inform instructional decisions.
Who are they for?
These assessments are designed for districts, states, and researchers looking for high-quality assessments that don’t simply evaluate progress, but seamlessly fit into the instructional flow to extend learning. They align to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for grades 3-5 and can be paired with any HQIM.
