Student Assessments Clause Samples
The Student Assessments clause establishes the requirements and procedures for evaluating student performance within an educational program or course. It typically outlines the types of assessments to be used, such as exams, quizzes, projects, or participation, and may specify grading criteria, frequency, and methods for providing feedback to students. By clearly defining how and when students will be assessed, this clause ensures transparency, sets expectations, and helps maintain fairness and consistency in the evaluation process.
Student Assessments. Elementary (K-5) classroom teachers shall, upon request, be furnished with two (2) half-day guest teachers to complete their Student Assessments/Running Records in the very best positive testing situation to provide the students a testing environment free from class distraction.

B. School-based teams will use, modify, adapt, and enhance District-adopted instructional materials to meet the state established standards. Teacher teams, working with their principals, will ensure assessments are aligned, informative, supported, and timely.

During SBA testing, special education staff will be utilized as much as possible to meet the needs of special education students.

Student Assessments. Consistent with the Testing MOU signed between the parties on November 30, 2016, the parties will jointly develop the district initiated/district wide student assessments for 2020-21 to identify specific areas where instruction or intervention may be needed to improve student learning. This agreement does not prohibit any individual student assessment requested by a parent or an assessment specifically and unambiguously mandated by state of federal law. Unit members will develop formative and progress monitoring assessments through their lessons and will provide actionable information about student’s learning status relative to the desired lesson goal. Staff will use data from assessment to adjust their instruction, identify those in need of further intervention and enrichment and ensure student progress toward learning goals. Unit members may use the resources and tools outlined in the California Department of Education’s (“CDE”) Guidance of Diagnostic and Formative Assessments when developing policies and procedures for implementing diagnostic assessments, formative assessments, and summative assessments.
