Measuring How Benchmark Assessments Affect Student Achievement
Description
This report examines a Massachusetts pilot program for quarterly benchmark exams in middle-school mathematics. Researchers found that program schools do not show greater gains in student achievement after a year, but they note that this may reflect limited data rather than the ineffectiveness of using benchmark assessments.
Information about the regional educational laboratory (REL) system and other REL publications can be found at the National Regional Educational Laboratory Program website.
