    These tests give much more accessible information than others similar. I only wish that I could access individual test questions in order to review some concepts with students and help them to prepare to the best of their abilities.

    We use state assessments while I love using Renaissance Star, it is more independent. For 1st graders, are not independent and it is overwhelming. The State testing is broken down into parts and allows the students to slowly work towards reading and comprehension. There is a …

    Fast ForWord is a program that allows students to play games while learning and practicing reading skills. I liked this program at first, because it was fun for the students and they loved completing new levels. After time, many of the students lost their motivation. They began …

    Renaissance Star Math Assessment provided a proven data collection tool. This was also being used at the lower grades in our district, so it made sense to continue with its use to provide a more reliable and accurate picture of our students entering the middle school. The …

    The other assessments are helpful too. However, the first two are not as easy to administer and the last is VERY expensive and the reports are hard to follow.

    Last year we used Let's Go Learn. I do prefer this program. The tests are easy to administer and the data is clear and easy to use. We used Renaissance in the past with AR reading and Math. I do miss those programs. It is not a direction the district was going in.

    [My] organization has also worked at using iReady assessments which are a quicker test and a little bit more student friendly. We go back-and-forth between which one we want to use and it is up to the school sites.

    We have used other district-wide assessments in the past, but nothing that has been inclusive as Star is. This assessment can be used for above, at, and below-level students.
