About the Interim Assessments
Interim assessments are traditional tests used periodically throughout the school year to measure students’ understanding of concepts and use of particular skills. Interim assessments are sometimes referred to as benchmark assessments.
Along with summative and formative assessment processes, interim assessments constitute an integral part of a robust and balanced assessment approach. Well-implemented interim assessment ensures that students and teachers remain engaged in feedback and instruction— measuring students’ success in learning material and providing schools with data to make within-year programmatic decisions to help improve student achievement.
