ThinkLink has pioneered a
unique approach to formative assessments using a scientifically research-based
continuous improvement model that maps diagnostic assessments to each
state’s high stakes test. ThinkLink Learning’s Predictive
Assessment Series assesses student progress toward meeting state standards
for reading/ language arts, math, science, and social studies. The
tests are preconfigured and analyzed by ThinkLink experts to provide
teachers the prediction of mastery, proficiency, and adequate yearly
progress (AYP) that is so critical to monitoring student progress
toward state mandated goals. The benchmark tests are administered
in the fall, winter, and spring. Each test is carefully constructed to mirror and match the state
test.
