What Our Partners Are Saying
The most valuable element of this process has been the objectivity the third-party scorer provides. This perspective, coupled with insightful ‘next steps’ has deepened the care we can have for students.
I loved this process. It was convenient and extremely helpful. With the benchmarks, it allowed more time to focus on other standards. Lastly, I believe my students made significant growth insofar as their writing skills.
