Bill Summary

Relative to the use of computer-adaptive assessments in public schools. Education.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend Massachusetts' education laws to require the use of computer-adaptive assessments in public schools. These assessments would provide a more effective mechanism for monitoring the actual progress of individual students' mastery of learning standards in core subjects like English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. The goal is to identify the specific standards that students have already mastered and those they have yet to learn, in order to ensure continuous student progress and more accurately hold educators accountable based on authentic measures of student achievement and growth.
