Abstract (written by WestEd)

This Knowledge Brief describes important attributes of a model local assessment program that collects specific information to guide instruction for individual students. It then walks the reader through eight steps for building a local system that will elicit diagnostic information about what individual students are doing well, where they are struggling, and how the instructional program might be modified to address their needs.
