Assessments

Teachers administer math assessments three times a year to their students . These assessments are based on the state standards and help teachers determine students' strengths and weaknesses. The assessments are created and graded by an outside evaluator, University of Evansville Assistant Professor of Education Amy McBride Martin .

The tests are then returned to the teachers for review and error patterning. Error patterning is used to evaluate the assessments and determine how to further students' learning and understanding. By evaluating the students' assessments together during a team plan period, grade level teachers help each other form instructional strategies that will give students the experiences necessary to become successful in math.
