The Current Challenge with Interim Assessments
For years, school districts have been caught in a “data-rich” dilemma. While many assessment solutions provide immense data, they often fail to move the needle on student achievement because they lack clear, easy-to-act-upon next steps. Khan Academy is stepping in to bridge this gap, moving the focus from merely measuring progress to actively accelerating it by offering new Interim Assessment through reimagined Khan Academy.
Introducing a Reimagined Assessment Experience
Our new Interim Assessments are designed to counter “testing fatigue” with a fresh interim experience.
Efficient and focused: Assessments are designed to be completed in a single 45-minute class period.
Adaptive technology: the system adjusts item difficulty in real-time based on student responses, to precisely measure progress and surface unfinished learning.
Real-time support: Khanductor alerts a student to rushing, reminding them to take their time for accurate test results.
Responsible use of AI: Khanductor, our purpose-built AI-powered guide, thoughtfully converses with students to explain their thinking about tested concepts and surface misconceptions missed by traditional test items.
Deeper Insights for Every Stakeholder
Our assessment system provides more than just scores; it delivers deep, actionable insights for everyone involved in a student’s journey.
Strategic reports for Administrators provide quantitative scaled scores and AI-generated qualitative insights to monitor progress and performance and guide district-wide planning.
