I first started with Digital Library and I didn't really know anything about the interim assessments but after attending the workshops and seeing the benefit that it would give me and the students, I decided to try it out. For me as a teacher it helps me see what the students skillsets are and what they need to work on, whether they're a lot below or they're right there but they kind of got it but they maybe just need a little bit of work. And for my students it gives them the drive to do well on their own. As a teacher, it helps me to see how they respond to their own data analysis because I realize that when they get something wrong it's not always that they didn't know the material but because there was something else going on in their minds like they were anxious or they chose what they thought was the right answer and then they overlooked a better answer. So, the value in going over an interim assessment after it's been given is to provide feedback to students so that they understand why they did well or why they didn't do well. My advice to anyone that has not had any experience with the interim assessments in digital library it's a great place to start. It doesn't take too much time—usually about 40 minutes to complete one interim—and it's broken down by the strands and it's not testing them over all the standards but specific to that strand. And then from there you can pull the data and see what your students need and then you can find resources. If you are not sure where to go, there's a bunch of different activities and resources available in the Digital Library. Anything that benefits students and improves teachers teaching styles and strategies is always a plus. Our goal is to move our students forward and I would strongly encourage other schools to go with the interim assessments.
