Access to CREC Common Assessments
Members at this level may access all CREC common assessments through a secure Web site. The members-only area of the site will receive updates as assessments are developed, aligned, and vetted.

Assessment Development Work Groups
Participating districts can send their content experts in reading, and math to be part of these work groups. CREC Teaching and Learning staff members will facilitate the work sessions. The focus of the sessions will be to approve items that have been submitted for review and to develop new items to add to the assessment online item bank. We are asking for two representatives per district per content/grade level area.

            Elementary:  Reading and Math
            Middle:  Reading and Math            

In May we will be looking for district Science representatives.
