New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP)
 
Introduction
State testing in Rhode Island has changed dramatically in response to the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). To meet these requirements, Rhode Island partnered with Vermont and New Hampshire to develop Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) and to design the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP). One of the most important goals of this partnership was to make these assessments instructionally relevant by providing information to school administrators, teachers, and parents to help them make informed decisions about student instructional needs.
