A Briefing Provided to the Entire Group of Students

The school should provide a briefing on the assessment process to the entire group of students. This briefing should present:

An overview of the assessment program and the assessment insruments.
The uses that the district, the school, and the teachers have made or will make of the results.
The process used to review student results with each individual student.
An explanation of what results have been provided or will be provided to students.
The plans (if any) that have been made to recognize outstanding performance on the assessment.

The group meeting is the most efficient way to provide this background information.
