Assessments

Amplify ELA provides assessment tools so teachers don’t have to wait until the end of a marking period to find out how their students are doing, nor do they have to interrupt instruction to gather performance data. Assessment opportunities are embedded throughout the curriculum, providing teachers with the data they need to meet the needs of every student.
