Essential Program Component Seven
Student achievement monitoring system (use of data to monitor student progress on curriculum-embedded assessments and modify instruction)
State Definition: The school/district has an assessment and monitoring system (e.g., every six to eight weeks) which may include curriculum-embedded assessments available as part of the adopted program. These assessments inform teachers and principals on student progress and effectiveness of instruction in all English/reading/language arts and mathematics classrooms. These curriculum-embedded assessments are based on the adopted English/reading/language arts and mathematics programs. The purpose of these assessments is to provide timely data to teachers and principals to make decisions that will improve instruction and student achievement. In addition, they will provide a basis for the monitoring system.
