Strategic Assessment Systems - including formative, interim, and summative measures - lead to improved student outcomes.  Strategic Assessment Systems emphasize the purposeful alignment of assessments and their use in the data inquiry process, the primary role that formative assessment plays in driving the teaching and learning, and the importance of high quality assessments to produce information about students' readiness for college and career.
