Asssment Solutions
As an educator, you are keenly aware that every child learns
at a different pace and has different instructional needs.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to recognize the needs and provide
each student with individualized instruction targeted at his or
her proficiency level.
Performance Series from Scantron is a computer-adaptive test that
lets you quickly pinpoint the proficiency level of your students,
across a range of subjects, that correspond with the specific
standards of your state. This provides for more accurate
student placement; diagnosis of instructional needs, including
instructional adjustments; and measurement of student gains
across reporting periods.

T raditional “standardized asssments” focus
on state standards for one grade level at a
time, making it challenging to determine
overall student placement or to focus on
individual student needs.
Performance Series provides students
•
with tests tailored to their proficiencies
in reading, math, language arts, and life
science.
The online test adjusts automatically to
•
each student’s ability level, generating
more difficult questions if the student
is answering correctly and easier ones if
the student is answering incorrectly.
Students do not spend unnecessary time
•
on test items that are much too difficult
or too simple, leading to less time test-
ing and more time learning.
The result is a valid and reliable “scaled
•
score” that can be ud to measure aca-
demic growth just as a yardstick is ud
to measure a child’s growth in height.

“ I n the past, a major focus was on what the students could not do.
Now that we have accurate asssments of what they can do, it’s
easier to formulate goals and objectives so they can be successful.”
