Assessments
The Sullivan County Department of Education is committed to utilizing student assessment information in enabling teachers to maximize learning opportunities for all students. Through a variety of formative and summative assessments, student learning is measured throughout the school year. Administrators and teachers constantly monitor student progress to plan and to provide interventions, remediation, and enrichment opportunities for students.
Our various departments strive to support a secure, organized, and comfortable testing environment for our students. Building level testing coordinators attend system information and training sessions before each assessment and keep abreast of the latest changes in student accommodations, assessment expectations, and state requirements.
Building coordinators then work with teachers, staff, and parents to ensure that the most current information is available and that assessment guidelines are understood and followed. Building data coaches work hand-in-hand with testing coordinators and administrators to interpret results of both formative and summative assessments and plan for further student success.
