Student Assessments

At HTA, assessments will be integral tools for gathering information about students’ progress, strengths, and weaknesses in order to provide the best possible education. They will also help in determining the grades children receive each semester on their report cards. The following are part of HTA’s assessment program:

• Placement assessments in math and reading
• Lesson assessments to determine mastery
• Unit assessments to assess mastery of the lessons in a unit
• Semester evaluations
• Regular work samples
• Teacher conferences and informal progress reviews
• Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) (early literacy indicators)
• Hawaii State Reading and Mathematics Assessments
