Achieve is a program designed to forecast how students will score on the standardized achievement test. It will identify the strengths and weaknesses of each individual student. Achieve provides multiple-choice assessments for grades 1-12 in Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, & Social Studies. The multiple-choice assessments are administered 3 times per year, normally taken in early fall, November/December, and January/February. The school may administer all 3 assessments with paper & pencil in the classroom, or they may administer 2 assessments online with the final assessment administered with paper & pencil in the classroom.
For the paper & pencil assessment, a set of hardcopies for five color-coded reports will be sent to the school within 7-10 days after the answer sheets are received by Achieve. Results for the online assessment will be available online immediately upon completion of the assessment. Each school is assigned a User ID and Password for online security.
If students are taking 2 online Achieve assessments, the teacher logs onto the web site with a secure User ID and Password to Access the tests. Upon completion, the tests are graded immediately, and the reports are archived online.
For the pencil & paper assessments, the school receives an Achieve Packet for each class containing a Teacher’s Instruction Sheet, Answer Sheets, and Test Booklets. The teacher administers the assessment in the classroom, which takes approximately one hour to complete. The school returns the answer sheets in a prepaid, pre-addressed envelope. Only the answer sheets are returned. The school keeps the booklets as a Resource Guide.
· The School Wide Report informs the administrator of how the entire school is performing on each benchmark. · The Grade Wide Report informs the administrator of how each grade is doing as a whole. · The Individual Class Report provides data for each individual class. · The Individual Student Report provides data on overall student performance within each classroom. · The Benchmark Report provides performance data relating to every question and benchmark within each classroom. School Wide Comparison Reports and Individual Class Comparison Reports are available for the second and third assessment so you may quickly evaluate the progress of your students. The Student/Parent Benchmark Report is available online. Teachers may print the report to use as a Parent Take Home Letter during Parent-Teacher Conferences so that parents are aware of student progress.
