About Benchmark Assessments

Teachers want and need immediate feedback on student skills to ensure that they are ready for testing.  That’s one of the benefits of CASE21’s Benchmark Assessments.  Teachers can give the benchmark assessments and access student scores within 48 hours.  Teachers can then identify individual student and classroom needs and reinforce or reteach skills.

CASE21 provides pre-made or custom benchmarks based on a district or school’s needs.  Benchmarks can be given at six or nine weeks.  Other features include:

• 60% of questions measure higher order thinking
• Questions are tightly aligned with state standards
• Assessments are designed to have an overall p-value of .55 to .62 or 2.60 to 2.75 score on 4 point rating scale
• Content vocabulary is appropriate for the subject/level
• Tests are aligned to district guides or pacing guides recommended by CASE21
• Format and question stems mirror state tests
