Local Assessment Development LAD
The Local Assessment Development project engaged Maine teachers in the development, piloting, and field testing of standards-based assessments aligned with Maine's
Learning Results for mathematics and science and technology.
Assessment sets, including student assessments with task-specific scoring guides, alignment information and national standards references, suggestions for prior instruction and administration, and benchmarks samples of student work are posted at
www.mainelad.org. Assessments for mathematics and science & technology for grade spans K-2, 3-4, 5-8, and 9-12 are available.
Maine Assessment Portfolio MAP www.maptasks.org (this site is currently under repair)
The Maine Assessment Portfolio project produced standards-based assessment materials, aligned with Maine's Learning Results for mathematics and science & technology and intended for inclusion in portfolio collections but appropriate for individual administration as well.
Assessment sets, including student assessments with task-specific scoring guides, alignment information and national standards references, suggestions for prior instruction and administration, and benchmarks samples of student work are posted at
www.mainelad.org. Assessments for mathematics and science & technology for grade spans K-2, 3-4, 5-8, and 9-12 are available.
The website also includes opportunities for interactive scorer training and calibration exercises for each of the posted assessments.
Assessment Inventories
Lists of all assessments available, organized by discipline (mathematics and science and technology) and grade span (K-2, 3-4, 5-8, and 9-12) can be found at
