Unit
Assessment
ProgressSpace is an online assessment and reporting tool for students, teachers, and administrators. ProgressSpace is designed to help teachers increase efficiency, inform instruction, and measure student growth. ProgressSpace offers Beginning- and End- of Volume Assessment, which can serve as a placement tool and benchmark progress. As students progress through the program, they complete the Beginning-of-Unit Assessment as a pre-unit snapshot of what they know. The End-of-Unit Assessment measures student growth when compared with performance on the Beginning-of-Unit Assessment.
