Assessment & Achievement

4Sight Assessments

In today’s high-stakes testing environment, you can’t afford to wait to see how your students perform on your state assessments. You need to estimate how students are likely to perform throughout the year. That’s why the Success for All Foundation created 4Sight, a benchmark assessment tool that enables you to predict your students’ reading – and in some states, math – achievement multiple times throughout the year. These predictions allow you time to take action in the areas in which students need help. No prediction is perfect, but 4Sight provides a useful guide to help teachers focus instruction.

4Sight assessments are one-hour tests that mimic the formats, coverage, look, and feel of your state assessments. They produce overall scores that predict students’ scores on state assessments such as TAKS, PSSA, TCAP, CST, and many others. Further, 4Sight produces scores on key subskills designed around your state’s standards – for example, interpreting text, drawing conclusions, geometry, and so on. These scores tell you where to focus professional development efforts to ensure student success.
