Περίληψη: Alaska's work on assessment over the past few years highlights an innovative approach to leveraging assessments that lead to more meaningful teaching and learning. This new assessment, Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR), is designed to provide data that informs teaching and helps engage students in learning beyond a singular accountability goal. This state case summary demonstrates how leadership starting at the local level can drive assessment system design that meets accountability requirements while also improving student learning. Alaska has taken a state-driven step to redesign its assessment system to better balance statewide assessments with student learning throughout the school year. The state leveraged COVID-19 pandemic disruptions as an opportunity to revamp assessment systems with a clear learning focus. In 2023, Alaska launched AK STAR, a testing platform that integrates the NWEA MAP Growth interim assessments with a statewide summative assessment. This through-year model allows Alaska to reduce testing time, align assessments to instruction and generate real-time data that informs responsive teaching practices.
