Student interactions and classroom collaboration.
The classroom is the basis of all educational learning. Within the classroom students learn from the teacher and one another. Students should be encouraged to interact and collaborate in a science classroom through labs, lectures and independent work.

Unit exams
Unit exams can be created and data shared amongst grade level and content area. Using unit exams can help teachers and students analyze miss understood concepts such as conduction, convection and radiation in science and possibly reteach a concept.

Classroom exam
Teachers create an exam using the standards provided by their state or national standards. Students are given an exam that is graded or curved based on the correct number of questions as a group. Meaning that if a concept is not well understood that question or standards can be retaught and the question discounted as it does not show mastery.

WIDA
A test that is given as a diagnostic level of ELL proficiency. Using WIDA data year over year helps to group students for intervention classes allowing for proper support rather than one size fits all learning.

Pre-assessment
Using a previous end of year exam to determine the current level of student understanding. The previous assessment could be a content area exit exam for the previous grade or the upcoming exit exam. Both can help drive instruction focusing on what skills are weak at understanding as well as what is understood and requires just a light refresher.

End of course or Regents Exam
End of course exams or regents exams provide schools and students with the data necessary to indicate whether a student understands the material in all content areas. These exams are given statewide, are high stakes and are at times a cross over to criterion referenced scores. This is done by comparing statewide scoring of data and eliminating low scoring questions which also helps drive future instruction and end of course or regent exams questions.
