PDE releases new information about 20-21 assessments

February 23, 2021

Attention Members: The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) has just released new information about the 20-21 assessments and is offering a Fall testing window in addition to the Spring testing window (click here for letter). We know you will have many questions about this information, so we have anticipated some of your questions and have provided our best guess to them. You can review the questions and answers by listening to the recorded webinar (click here for webinar) or read about them in our Anticipated Frequently Asked Questions (click here for FAQs).

Please remember this is still a moving target and things could change if the federal government were to offer a waiver for the assessments. As you digest this information and contemplate the implications it has for your school or district, please send us any lingering questions you have so we can try to obtain answers from PDE.
