Assessment Solution Guide
About the Assessment Solution Guide
The Assessment starter kit is a step-by-step guide designed to help LEAs combine assessment data from multiple measures and sources in one interface to gain a comprehensive view of their learners’ progress.
This Solution Guide for this starter kit is designed to help Assessment and Student Information System Vendors take the steps necessary to provide the data these districts need to power the the starter kit.
Vendor support for Harnessing Multiple Measures of Assessment encompasses the following steps.
- Learn. The Ed-Fi website has detail on using multiple measures to create a comprehensive view of the students' progress, and information about how others in the Ed-Fi Community have addressed the problem. Read more about how to Help Your Customers Harness Multiple Measures of Assessment on Ed-Fi.org.
- Develop. Add Ed-Fi capabilities to your product to support customers harnessing multiple measures of assessment. You will find the Assessment Vendor Developer Guide below.
- Test. To fully realize the benefits of Harnessing Multiple Measures of Assessment and ensure your solution is field ready, we recommend selecting and working with an existing district customer to test your integration in a live Ed-Fi implementation of the starter kit. Securing a district customer will allow you a reference point for future adoptees of this Starter Kit. Working with a local district agency is not required but it is strongly recommended.
- Certify. For vendor organizations that have completed integration with the starter kit using the vendor developer guide, apply for the API Domain Certification so you may be listed as a verified partner on Ed-Fi.org.
