Session Takeaways

• 1 How can leaders define a balanced assessment system? It starts with a clear instructional vision that names what each assessment should help educators understand and do next.
• 2 Where do districts often lose balance? Redundant tests, unclear purposes, and disconnected data can make assessment feel separate from daily instruction.
• 3 What is a practical first step? Audit your current assessments to see what each one measures, who uses the data, and what action it supports.
