Effective instruction demands a deep understanding of student learning. The KAP Balanced Assessment System addresses this challenge by incorporating formative, interim, and summative assessments with a revitalized reporting suite which offers ongoing feedback on student progress.

Because we understand the importance of formative assessment for instruction, this offering has been transformed for 2025 and includes Math, English Language Arts, and now Science!

Not only have we expanded the offering to provide a broader range of content, the Instructional Mini-Tests themselves have been:

• restructured to align to standards/clusters in topical groupings,
• named clearly so teachers can select targeted topics, and
• enhanced with metadata such as Lexile, text complexity, and standard alignment added for richer information.

New Instructional Mini-Tests will be released every two to three weeks so be sure to stay tuned for additional announcements when they have been made available!
