Pear Assessment (Formerly Edulastic) is a site that all Conrady teachers have a premium membership for. This site is great for creating IAR-like questions, whether it is a quick formative assessment at the end of class or a unit exam. You can create your own questions, or pull them from a bank which allows you to filter questions by specific standards. The reason Conrady prefers using Pear Assessment is because of the detailed reports they offer that provide a lot of useful student data.
When administering a common formative assessment with your department, let your team leader know and they will send the assessment out to all of the classes taking it. This allows for us to look at student data as a department.
