Arizona School Report Cards 

 

Arizona's test development process involves an extensive review before an item will count toward students' test scores. During the item-development process, all assessment items are written in accordance with Item Specifications. A committee of Arizona stakeholders reviews and approves these items to confirm appropriateness for inclusion on the test. This step of the process is designed to ensure that our tests are free from bias and sensitivity concerns based on considerations including ability, age, culture, gender, geography, languages spoken, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. Participating community members are representatives of Arizona's geographic regions and represent culturally diverse populations. For these committees, we are inviting stakeholders to provide their perspective on the items on Arizona's statewide assessments. If you are interested in serving on an Assessment Community Committee, please complete the form linked below.

Parent/Community Assessment Review Committee

The Alternate Assessment Advisory Committee has developed new resources for all parents, families, and schools. Schools can:

  • Post or link the resources on their Assessment homepage
  • Share the documents (either electronically or printed) with their families during Individual Education Program (IEP) meetings
  • Include the documents in presentations on Curriculum Nights or when Statewide Testing kicks off in Spring
