BALANCED ASSESSMENT
Bangor Township Schools is developing a Balanced Assessment System to include formative, interim, and summative assessments. No one assessment is able to provide answers to all questions regarding growth. A balanced approach allows us to understand where a child is in their learning journey, and plan more intentionally to meet each child's specific needs.
