Q:  Can the summative benchmark assessment be taken over two days, if needed? – Grade 3 Teacher

A:  Absolutely!  We encourage that since it is how students will take state tests. Per Oklahoma's item specs: Grade 3-8 tests are "meant to be administered in two sessions within one day with a break given between sessions or on consecutive days."

Moreover, your third-graders should take summative assessments on paper as they will state test. At all other grade levels, state tests are administered online (paper-pencil option as an IEP accommodation).

Get the most accurate data from this benchmark of mastery by OAS objective by having a class review of content you've taught before students sit for the assessment. You will get even better results if you give a grade on procedures at midyear and on content in the spring. - Alpha Plus Team

We Use Data to Help Schools on the Way to an A!

Teachers and administrators can quickly and easily identify students who need more help learning the Oklahoma Academic Standards.

Alpha Plus pinpoints the SPECIFIC OAS objectives or "gaps" students have from previous years, then helps school teams address each objective throughout the year.

That is why Alpha Plus schools have OUTPERFORMED the state average every year of the A-F Report Cards.
