Holistic Student Outcomes Monitoring Toolkit
This paper from WestEd focuses on this lag in K–2 assessment systems and how states can act to address it. The authors first review a range of assessment types and their utility for supporting learning in the early years of schooling. The authors then discuss research findings on state K–2 assessment policies that provide insights for other policy leaders to consider as they work to build K–2 assessment systems that effectively help districts and schools support academic success for their youngest students.
