What assessments does Classworks offer?

Classworks offers a wide array of assessments within the platform.

Assessment Options

Academic

Universal Screening (Intermittent Assessments)

• Mathematics Screener by Classworks: Grades K - High School
• Reading Screener by Classworks: Grades K - High School

Three administrations within the school year, plus two ESY or Summer Administrations available

The Academic Screener is used to identify readiness for on-grade level instruction. It is typically administered at three times a year. The assessments are composed of Math and Reading/Language Arts and are developed for each grade level, K-HS. To identify readiness, they include multiple grade levels to allow sufficient “reach” to identify student weaknesses. This assessment data is also used to modify Individualized Learning Paths (ILPs) assignments for students. The Screeners are listed on the NCII tools chart and available in English and Spanish. The screener will be automatically assigned to all students once configured at the district level.

Progress Monitoring Curriculum-Based Measures (CBMs)

• Curriculum Sampling
• Domain-Based

Evidence-based NCII Recognized sessions of 12 weekly probes

The purpose of Progress Monitoring is to measure the overall effectiveness of any intervention. Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) Probes are used for Tier 3 students and can serve as documentation for referral for special education. These probes have multiple forms equated for the same skills at the same level of difficulty, so they truly measure progress and show retention of gains with successive test administrations. Classworks has both long form curriculum sampling progress monitoring and shorter domain based CBMs as well. This data is also used to modify Individualized Learning Paths (ILPs) assignments for students.

Skill Specific Monitoring

• AI-Powered Mastery Measurement

A staff member describes long-term goals and short-term objectives to the AI assistant, who then generates 10-question probes to monitor proficiency toward these goals.

The purpose of Mastery Measurement is to evaluate a student’s acquisition of specific, targeted skills aligned to instructional goals. Mastery Measurement assessments focus on discrete skill objectives and are typically used to monitor progress toward mastery within an intervention or instructional sequence. These measures assess the same skill repeatedly until mastery is demonstrated, allowing educators to make timely, data-driven decisions about instruction. In Classworks, Mastery Measurement data helps identify when a student is ready to advance to new skills or when additional instruction and practice are needed. This information is also used to refine and adjust Individualized Learning Path (ILP) assignments to ensure instruction remains aligned to student needs.

Life Skills

SE Survey

• Teacher-reported survey: Pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade
• Student-reported survey: 4th - 12th grade

The SE Skills Survey in Classworks is a student-facing check-in survey for students in grades 4-12 (teachers submit a survey for students in grades PreK-3). It was developed by Washoe County School District through a partnership with The Collaborative for Social-Emotional and Academic Learning (CASEL) and the University of Illinois-Chicago. More information about the Washoe County School District Social and Emotional Competency Assessments (WCSD-SECAs) and the questions included can be found here. The screener will be automatically assigned to all students once configured at the district level.
