Group Reading Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation (GRADE) and Group Math Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation (GMADE) are research-based diagnostic tools that determine what skills students have mastered and where they need additional instruction, intervention, or remediation. GMADE evaluates math concepts, math operations, computation and applications. GRADE evaluates vocabulary, sentence comprehension, passage comprehension, and listening comprehension. Reports designed to drive instruction that show student results by foundational skills, identify gaps in student learning, and offer intervention resources specific to student performance.

Administrators will obtain reliable data to evaluate progress toward meeting content standards and high expectations. Teachers will identify and help children who are at risk of being left behind. Parents will understand what their children know and can do and how they can help. Stanford 10 reports have been redesigned to provide greater insight into performance. Narrative summaries, process and cluster summaries, and graphic displays clarify the student’s performance.

The online testing format has minimal computer system requirements and provides computer readiness downloads and updates. These value-added benefits to test administrators and support staff dramatically reduce the investment of time and energy when evaluating student achievement.

Children's Progress Academic Assessment (CPAA) is an engaging, online assessment of a young child's (Early Childhood: Grades PK thru 3) academic abilities in Language Arts and Mathematics. By administering the test three to five times a year, teachers can identify areas where children need more in-depth instruction. CPAA's recommended activities and intervention strategies help students master the concepts, and are calibrated to state-specific academic standards, ensuring that children are meeting grade-level and end-of-year expectations.

The Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test - Second Edition (NNAT2) is an assessment of general cognitive ability in seven grade based levels for students in grades K-12, available on two media platforms-the traditional paper-and-pencil form and the NEW ONLINE form. Developed from comprehensive, scientifically based methodology, the NNAT2 is an accurate, culturally neutral measure of general ability without reliance on language or motor skills. The NNAT2 is especially useful for students with limited English-Language skills. Student performance is assessed on a developmental item response theory (IRT) scale that spans ages 5 through 17. Age-based norms were developed from a nationally representative sample of more than 57,000 students. This makes the NNAT2 one of the only inclusive and accessible assessments for the general student population.

Using Pearson Inform, educators can identify which students, teachers, and schools need help and develop personalized learning plans, referred to as Academic Intervention Plans (AIPs), for improvement. Throughout the school year, Pearson Inform can help educators monitor progress. A built-in feature of Pearson Inform documents the interventions that occur, meeting Response to Intervention (RtI) requirements.
