The K–3 assessments are grounded in decades of research and designed to enrich the educational experience for children at all levels.

Detailed reports and recommended instructional activities help teachers drive learning every day. Measured Progress offers Children's Progress as part of a balanced assessment system.

ETS/Assessment Training Institute (ETS/ATI) in Oregon was founded to provide student-involved classroom assessment training, a critical aspect of balanced assessment systems and improved student learning. The techniques that ETS/ATI brings to the classroom are supported by international research that shows with high quality, student-involved assessments and descriptive feedback, student achievement improves. ETS/ATI and Measured Progress believe that student learning can only be accurately and completely measured through systems that integrate the results of both classroom and large-scale assessment. The collaboration between our two organizations can help local educators move dramatically closer to the balanced use of such quality assessments.
