    To be effective, sustainable and affordable, assessments must use modern technologies to increase efficiency and timeliness.  Standardized tests alone can measure only a few of the important skills and knowledge students should learn. A balance of assessments, including high-quality standardized testing along with effective classroom assessments, offers students a powerful way to master the content and skills central to success.
