Bethel Public Schools use a combination of standard and nonstandard measures to monitor our students’ learning. Teachers create curriculum-based measures to assess students’ mastery of the standards. Our teachers also use standardized measures, such as AIMSWeb and IXL, to assess student learning and growth.

Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA)
The Connecticut Smarter Balanced assessments are aligned to Common Core State Standards and are used to assess students mastery of skills in English language arts/literacy and mathematics. The Bethel Public Schools administer these assessments in the spring each year and are required to do so in Grades 3-8.
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
In addition to the SBA, the State of Connecticut also requires districts to administer the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) assessment to assess students mastery of skills in science. This assessment is administered in Grades 5, 8 and 11.
