In this technical report, we describe the development and piloting of a series of vocabulary assessments intended for use with students in grades two through eight. These measures, available as part of easyCBM[TM], an online progress monitoring and benchmark/screening assessment system, were developed in 2010 and administered to approximately 1200…

Henderson, Susan; Petrosino, Anthony; Guckenburg, Sarah; Hamilton, Stephen – Regional Educational Laboratory Northeast & Islands, 2008
This technical brief examines whether, after two years of implementation, schools in Massachusetts using quarterly benchmark exams aligned with state standards in middle school mathematics showed greater gains in student achievement than those not doing so. A quasi-experimental design, using covariate matching and comparative interrupted…

Henderson, Susan; Petrosino, Anthony; Guckenburg, Sarah; Hamilton, Stephen – Regional Educational Laboratory Northeast & Islands, 2007
This report examines a Massachusetts pilot program for quarterly benchmark exams in middle-school mathematics, finding that program schools do not show greater gains in student achievement after a year. But that finding might reflect limited data rather than ineffective benchmark assessments. Benchmark assessments are used in many districts…
