   Testing and Assessment

The primary purpose of the SLCS Student Assessment System is to promote continuous improvement of student learning. All assessments are aligned with the State Standards and Benchmarks that are published in the Michigan Curriculum Frameworks. Professionals use assessment results to make informed decisions regarding the improvement of programs, as well as to focus instruction, and document individual student progress. All district assessments are selected or developed by professional staff and belong to one of the following tiers of the assessment system:

Tier 1. Individual classroom formative and summative assessments. 
Tier 2. Building-Wide Assessments aligned with NCA goals and the district curriculum. 
Tier 3. District-Wide Standards-Based Assessments in required and core areas.
Tier 4. MEAP and MERIT developed by the State of Michigan

The final tier of this system and the only one independent of our curriculum is that of the MEAP or state assessments. Often district assessments developed for one tier can be used across other tiers.

Please contact the individual school for information relative to testing at that site.
