Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR)
The Alaska Dept. of Education and Early Development (DEED) is taking a new approach to statewide assessments that better reflects learning throughout the school year, and helps educators target instruction to students' needs. The new Alaska Innovative Assessment System:
-
Streamlines testing and maximizes efficiency, providing a more seamless experience between interim and summative assessments.
-
Increases coherence across interim and end-of-year summative tests so educators can drive students toward consistent, challenging learning targets.
-
Helps amplify student learning by giving educators, students, and families meaningful insights on student strengths and areas to support students in reaching their highest academic potential.
-
Increases opportunity for students and schools to show growth.
The Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR) is the state summative assessment, is administered to students in grades 3-9, and assesses their understanding of the Alaska ELA and Mathematics Standards adopted in 2012. The balanced approach connects fall or winter MAP Growth interim tests with the spring AK STAR assessment. Additionally, the Alaska Science Assessment is administered to students in grades 5, 8, and 10, and assesses students’ understanding of the Alaska Science Standards adopted in 2019.
