Aligned assessments provide critical feedback on student performance relative to each learning target. This allows students to identify what they know and what knowledge they have yet to master.

CEC staff work with districts and schools in the development and use of formative, summative, and self-assessments and to establish consistency in the reporting progress. The SMART system enables progress toward goals to be monitored, tracked, and reported, and enables early intervention and differentiation when learning targets have not been reached.
