MN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ASSESSMENT SURVEY:  MDE is beginning the process of redesigning the statewide assessment reports. This includes evaluating how student results are organized and communicated (including the labels like "does not meet” or “exceeds" the standards, and what the reports will look like for new academic standards). The redesigned reports will be seen for the first time in summer and fall 2025.  Please take the survey to share your experience. It should take no longer than 15 minutes. The survey is now open for submissions until May 19. Responses are completely anonymous.  HERE IS THE LINK TO THE MDE ASSESSMENT SURVEY:  tinyurl.com/state-testing-survey
