What can we learn about assessments when we zoom out across states? In this episode of Data Lit, we spotlight four different systems: California, Mississippi, Rhode Island, and Hawaii, to break down what’s tested, how it’s structured, and what makes each approach stand out. From testing formats to the nuances that make each state unique, we keep it real, practical, and easy to follow. Additionally, we each share one question we’re still wondering about, because understanding assessment systems isn’t just about finding answers: it’s about staying curious. If you’ve ever wanted a quick, engaging tour of how different states “do” assessment, this episode is for you.
