Use Orchard’s Standards-based Assessment to Inform Instruction…

Orchard’s assessments are based upon Common Core and state standards, and provide a powerful interim benchmarking assessment tool that informs and assigns targeted standards-based instruction for all students.

Students begin by taking a grade-specific and subject-specific assessment based upon their state standards (example: Orchard for Texas Math Grade 4), that assesses which standards the student has mastered and which standards he/she is struggling with. Orchard then automatically creates a customized learning plan for the student by assigning specific instructional programs based on identified problem areas.

Summative, Formative, and Interim Assessments

• Curriculum-specific tests identify strengths and weaknesses of each student’s abilities, as well as progress and gains in achievement
• Tests show correct answers for any questions students may have missed, in addition to periodic gains and specific remediation needs
• Assessments range from 30 to 60 randomized questions presented in a graphical format that children find motivating
