Interim Assessment Analysis Reports
CSI provides individualized Interim Assessment Analysis Reports for any CSI school that would like a broader picture of their school’s performance on interim assessments. These reports contain customized analyses that mirror the state’s accountability system. Schools can use these reports to evaluate areas of growth and take appropriate actions to lead to systemic improvements.
CSI also provides one-on-one virtual trainings to help schools understand the various methods and analyses in their report.
For questions on interim assessment analysis or to request a report for your school, please contact CSI’s Chief of Authorization and Accountability, Ryan Marks.
