We know educators have concerns about assessments. We do, too.
That’s why we design ours to make teaching easier. We make assessments for learning, not of learning.
We know how educators often feel about assessments. They result in over-testing and lost instructional time. They’re used as blunt tools for evaluation and accountability. They raise artificial stakes—and so high that they create panic. That’s the opposite of what our assessments are about. Ours are tools for instruction that help you see your students more clearly.
An analysis of ANet assessment data shows our assessments lead to action and powerful results for student outcomes, even more powerful when combined with coaching.
The data reports available to ANet teachers yield strong instructional actions. Our assessment data provides detailed information for decision-making.
Our students are represented and affirmed in assessment content. Identity-affirming passages allow students to read about and see themselves.
If we give educators the resources they need to meet the evolving needs of the education landscape, we can rise to this moment of change. Assessments are the way to do it—if we honor and reexamine their purpose and their power. Our CEO Michelle Odemwingie shares how formative, flexible, reflective assessments can help uproot systemic inequities.
ANet assessments are carefully crafted to meet the grade-level demands of your standards and to provide teachers with timely, actionable information to inform instruction. This approach gives assessments a quality-control check without using your school’s valuable time to field-test.
Benefits Assessment Suite By SubjectTeachers can use the actual assessment materials themselves - like the schedule of assessed standards (SAS) and assessment forms - to inform their planning ahead of instruction.
The data from the assessments can help illuminate where students are successful or are still developing an understanding of grade-level concepts in an independent setting. Our assessments with tools like myANet give you real-time data, not end-of-the-year summaries.
We have assessments compatible with over 20 high-quality curricula so you know your students will have experience with the standards before they are assessed.
Diagnostic assessments are available in literacy and math, enabling you to gauge student needs and identify content that may not have been learned or taught.
Our interim assessments (traditional and abbreviated versions) ensure you can identify content students have learned or mastered as instruction progresses.
Get ongoing assessment flexibility via our tools in myANet, enabling you to quickly and informally assess student learning and data.
We design our ELA assessments starting from texts that are authentic, grade-level appropriate, and worth reading, including a balance of literature, informational, and linked texts.
In math, our items are designed to strongly align to and reflect the demands of the standards. Item types are chosen carefully to elicit the most appropriate type of evidence for each standard.
To improve schools’ support for English language learners, ANet offers trans-adapted Spanish language interim assessments.
