ProgressGuide™ Assessment
Timely meaningful data from through-year assessments
empowers teachers to accelerate student learning
Our Vision for the Future of Assessment
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rethink our systems of assessment so we can build a better tomorrow. Isn’t it time we connected assessment to the work being done by teachers in classrooms? Welcome through-year assessments.
Why Change Current Assessment Systems?
Every student is unique. A single classroom may contain students from all walks of life. Great teachers want to understand their students’ individual interests, strengths and learning styles and deliver a dynamic and engaging curriculum tailored to their students’ needs. Yet interim assessments too often provide low-quality testing that does not align with what is taught in the classroom, and summative assessments return data too late to provide instructional value. The result is a system that can provide false measures of student growth and fails to address current needs and support high-quality learning.
We Test What's Taught
New Meridian’s ProgressGuide™ Assessment (ProgressGuide) administers a series of micro-assessments throughout the year, each of which is closely aligned to local curriculum and can be administered in a single class period. The result is a system that tests exactly what is taught, lowering testing time, minimizing student frustration and providing a coherent experience that is focused on learning.
Timely, High-Value Assessment
ProgressGuide offers teachers real-time feedback, allowing them to adjust classroom learning for every student. The result is a system that empowers teachers to accelerate learning, equipped with testing that is aligned to the curriculum they are teaching and that provides data exactly when they need it.
