Student-Centered Assessment Network:Testing Change Ideas in Real Time
March 2020
This report summarizes the practices and findings of the pilot year of the Student-Centered Assessment Network (SCAN), which used real-time testing to determine effective and engaging classroom assessment practices for students.

This report covers some of the major shifts in classroom practice teachers saw as a result of participation in SCAN, as well as some of the challenges in shifting towards more student-centered assessment practices. The end of the report delves into some of the adjustments suggested refining future versions of the network
