“State and federal laws require schools to assess student learning every year in specific grade levels and subjects. These content-specific assessments provide information on how students are performing, and how well schools and districts are teaching students compared to those in other communities, states, and nations. It also helps target support and resources to students and schools that need them the most.” - Michigan Department of Education
“The Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress, or M-STEP, is a 21st Century computer-based assessment designed to gauge how well students are mastering state standards. These standards, developed for educators by educators, broadly outline what students should know and be able to do in order to be prepared to enter the workplace, career education training, and college.”
MSTEP tests the knowledge and skills of students in grades 3, 4, and 5 in reading and writingand math. It also tests the knowledge and skills of students in grades 5 in science and socialstudies.
