Background:
|
|
On October 27, 2016, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors adopted Resolution 1617R-001 to conduct a review of the Balanced Assessment System. The Administration formed an Assessment Inventory Team and conducted a review of the MPS Balanced Assessment System. The Assessment Inventory Team conducted a district-wide assessment inventory and analysis of state- and district-required assessments in order to make recommendations to district leadership to ensure that students are taking the minimum number of assessments needed to serve essential instructional, diagnostic, and accountability purposes; that all assessments are high-quality; and that the assessment system is aligned, coherent, and streamlined. The district received training on the Student Assessment Inventory process and a $5,000.00 grant from Achieve to complete the review of assessments. Due to the success of this process the district will hold a review every three years. |
