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.
