Classroom Diagnostic Test (CDT’s) Information

 

CDTs are based on content assessed by the Keystone Exams and the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA). Although not a predictor for PSSA and Keystone Exam performance, CDTs provide a snapshot on why and how students may still be struggling or exceeding grade and/or course Eligible Content. The CDT data, along with other data, informs instruction in a timely and efficient manner.

•Available for use in the classroom throughout the school year.
•Provide real-time results, ensuring valid and reliable measures, of students' skills with links to Materials and Resources in SAS.
•Highlight student strengths and areas of need thus becoming part of the discussions between teachers, parents/ guardians, and students to set individual learning goals.

Area Elementary and Moraine Elementary will utilize the CDT’s in grades 3 -5 for Math and Reading.
