Are there specific types of assessments required by National Middle School Association?
Yes, the first five assessments must follow the requirements presented on the program review report form (e.g., licensure assessment, content-based assessment, effect on student learning). Assessments six through eight should focus on NMSA standards not covered in the first five assessments. It is very important that persons preparing the middle level program report note that Assessment 2: Assessment of Content Knowledge should focus on the content of the seven NMSA performance standards, not on teaching fields such as mathematics and language arts.
