The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) provides a variety of free assessments for teachers in Grades 3-8 to use throughout the school year. These assessments are called non-summative assessments. The WVDE offers the following non-summative assessments:
Benchmark Assessments
Benchmark Assessments can track student progress at the beginning and middle of the school year. These assessments follow a similar design to the West Virginia General Summative Assessment
Modules
Modulesare short tests focused on small “chunks” of content. These tests can be used throughout the school year.
Test Authoring
Test Authoring allows educators to create custom assessments by selecting items from a large question bank or generating tests based on specific standards. It includes tools for organizing and describing tests, previewing and editing items, and publishing tests for online or paper-based administration.
Write-on with Cambi
Write-on with Cambi is a formative writing product designed to help students improve their writing skills through interactive and meaningful feedback. This tool is particularly useful for teachers and students who want to enhance their writing abilities with the support of advanced machine learning and content expertise.
