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.

instruction.”
