Have you ever wondered what goes into a Comprehensive Assessment System?

Merriam-Webster defines comprehensive as: covering completely or broadly and inclusive.  By definition, a Comprehensive Assessment System should include assessments which provide teachers with the ability to collect a wide range of student data including growth, ability estimates, and effectiveness of instruction.
