Ruby: Data-driven Benchmark Analysis
Districts provide benchmark assessments to chart student progress on the concepts and skills needed to perform proficiently on state assessments. A misaligned benchmark is counterproductive — veering the curriculum off track and, as a result, lowering test scores.
Ruby can measure the alignment of your benchmarks to state assessments according to the following criteria:
The Ruby advantage
- Includes both the alignment and rigor.
- Comparison to state assessments.
- Reports include colorful visuals.
- congruence between benchmarks and state assessments
- alignment to state content standards
- extent of coverage (strand/standard sampling)
- cognitive rigor (Bloom's Taxonomy and depth of knowledge)
- readability/accessibility
