Software should provide access to administer diagnostic assessments in literacy and/or mathematics for grades 1 through 12 for approximately 12,000 students. These assessments should be aligned with New Jersey Student Learning Standards, contain a variety of technologyenhanced question designs, and have the ability to generate data reporting on results to the student and standard levels. Diagnostic reporting should provide trend analysis, patterns, error analysis, and historic analysis from year to year. Reporting should be available on individual students, classes, disaggregated student groups, grade levels, sites, and district as a whole. Reporting should provide grade level equivalent and lexile level for all students in addition to cut score assessment performance results. It should also have the ability to provide customized creations of assessments via item-banks of standard aligned questions. Assessments should allow for flexibility in designing proficiency banding/rates to align with New Jersey Student Learning Assessments. Assessment use and creation should be unlimited. Software should also provide supplemental remediation programs that are game-based/student centered to rehearse and strengthen identified skills and standards from assessment results. Software should be adaptive. Software programs should be embedded in cross-curricular content on all grade levels and across New Jersey’s nine required curricular areas. Assessment use should be easily applied in real-time virtual environments for formative use as well as within scheduled format for summative use. Software should also provide for the mandated grade 8 technology literacy assessment required in New Jersey Public Schools and articulate to STEM activities.
