This is NYSED's list of approved Student/Teacher Assessments for the school year 2014-15. In plain English, this is a list of acceptable (to NYSED) exams for calculating APPR, SLO, and by extension, AYP. These are the tests your kids are being asked to take that have nothing to do with their grades. Included are the ever-popular TerraNova, iReady, MAPs, AIMSweb, and STAR assessments. These are the exams to avoid - check with your school to see which ones they are using, or, use U2C's Refusal Form to generate a letter that automatically refuses them all.
