Testing

Evidence of Learning Framework

The tests we administer at Rock Creek Forest align with the Montgomery County Public Schools Evidence of Learning Framework. The Evidence of Learning (EOL) Framework is a system that uses multiple measures to assess student learning and progress.The classroom, district, and external measures help us to determine the impact our school has on our students.

We want you to know that test results are just one tool in a larger picture of your child's education. 

We aim to use them to create a supportive and effective learning environment for every student. If you have questions about grading and/or test results please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher. 

• Understanding Progress: Test results help teachers see how much your child has learned and where they may need more support. This allows them to track progress over time and celebrate achievements, which is a positive and reassuring aspect of your child's learning journey.

• Personalizing Learning:  Test results show which areas your child excels in and which might be challenging. This helps teachers tailor lessons to meet each child's needs. With this information, teachers can create groups or individual plans focusing on specific skills, ensuring that every student gets the help they need.

• Communicating with Parents: Test results allow teachers to discuss your child's progress during meetings, helping you understand how to support learning at home.
