Does Standardized Testing Measure Academic Growth?
Making Growth Data Clearer
Catapult Learning’s partner schools use a mix of assessments in reading and math, making it harder to set fair growth targets and explain results clearly to educators and families. Basis created a clear, transparent way to define and interpret academic growth across different tests so stakeholders can see whether students are really making progress.
Turning Test Results Into Impact
To create clearer standards and measurements of academic growth, Basis
- partnered with Catapult to design an analytical approach for evaluating growth targets.
- created user-friendly guidance documents that explain how growth measures work and how to interpret them.
- developed sample reports that show how to present growth results clearly to school partners and potential clients.
