How It Works   The Performance Series is a Standards-based Adaptive Measurement (SAM) that utilizes an innovative computer-adaptive, Internet based model to target the instructional level of each student by altering question difficulty based on previous answers. Once the test has been completed, the results are immediately available, providing an accurate evaluation of the student's abilities.       Key Benefits   SAM adapts to the student's instructional level, alleviating continued rounds of questions that are too easy or too difficult. SAM accurately places each student at his/her appropriate instructional level (grades 2-12).   SAM is research-based, ensuring the reliability and validity of the test to accurately place each student.   SAM reports are immediately available online after a student takes the test, since the test is Internet based. Levels of reports range from individual student's performance through district-wide results, with demographic and group filtering.   SAM tracks students using a consistent scale as they move from one school to the next, and measures academic gains over one year or across multiple years. In addition, groups can be established (i.e. Title I, Free & Reduced Lunch, After School, Open Court, etc.) to place students and track academic gains over time. Find out how to get started.
