A network-wide study of the ways in which On Demand Testing is used by schools with current assessment practices. ◦ Includes an analysis of what schools may need

to enable them to best use On Demand Testing. A study of the assessment practices

within a cluster of schools. ◦ Focus on which assessment tools are used, when

they are used and the way in which the data which is collected is used.

“Sometimes, teachers need help making the connections among assessment, data and

instruction.”
