PROGRESS TOWARD STANDARDS™
Classroom Assessments

Progress Toward Standards (PTS) assessments and items:

• Help identify student strengths and needs relative to state standards
• Help you modify curriculum and instruction to improve student learning
• Cover content aligned with standards and grade-level expectations
• Assess higher-order thinking skills

In a recent review, a state assessment task force ranked the PTS reading tests as the highest of those reviewed in relation to both depth of knowledge and alignment to state grade-level expectations. In the same review, the PTS mathematics items received the highest ranking for depth of knowledge in six out of eight comparisons.

The PTS assessment collection complements our other offerings. Interim assessment results define the starting point. Our professional development programs and resources help you interpret the results and use them to design instructional improvements. With such a clear course charted, can success be far away?

We don’t just develop assessments; we build relationships. These relationships begin by jointly tailoring solutions that work for our clients—and their students. Let us show you how PTS can help you improve student learning.
