Assessment at Sage Oak

Assessment is diagnostic first. The purpose is to shape the learning plan, not to rank students. Every required assessment below has a window, an owner, and a place where results are recorded.

Required assessments

• NWEA MAP — fall and spring windows for grades 2–8 • CAASPP — state window in the spring • ELPAC — initial within 30 days of enrollment for identified students • Curriculum-based benchmarks — at the close of each learning period

Recording results

Results are entered in the student information system within five school days of the testing window closing. Coordinators audit entries at the end of each window.
