District-Determined Measures

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) is collecting information about high quality assessments used in Massachusetts districts. ESE will use this information to identify sample assessments that districts can use as District-Determined Measures. To do this, survey results will be shared with a vendor who may contact you for additional information about your assessment(s).

This survey asks about your highest quality assessments. We are interested in learning more about both district-developed assessments and those obtained from external sources (e.g., commercial assessments, assessments borrowed from other districts). In this survey, you will be able to submit information on up to five assessments, but you may choose to submit information about only one assessment.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your assessment practices. The information you provide here will help ESE identify the most promising assessments of schools and districts.
