Philosophy of Assessment
Allen ISD believes that assessment provides the information necessary to improve student performance. Assessing student performance is an integral part of the instructional process because it allows professional staff to make informed decisions, set priorities, allocate resources, and be accountable to students, parents and community. It is also a method by which state and federal education authorities determine the district’s progress and effectiveness.
Allen ISD is committed to using a variety of assessment techniques to capture both the breadth and depth of student learning over time. It is also committed to providing a scaffold sequence of assessments that serve as screening instruments for program identification and placement as well as resources for student support teams. Within that structured sequence, test scores are valid for two years, thereby reducing the need for individual testing of students for initial screening to meet program criteria.
