What is School City?
TUSD’s New Online Assessment Tool

2. School City What is it? District-wide ONLINE assessment tool
The replacement for ATI
A series of 7 seven online district assessments through School City
Some assessments will be taken in all content areas, regardless of grade level
Some assessments will only be taken in ELA/MATH 9th & 10th grade (like ATI)
Some of these assessments will be used as part of the Teacher Evaluation

4. Pre-/Post & Student Survey Each of these will contribute to your Teacher Evaluation
Pre-Test & Post-Test
Taken in all content areas
Will consist of 1 or 2 passages and 10 multiple choice questions
Should take about 40 minutes to complete
Will be online
Passages will reflect content, yet the same literary standards will be assessed across the board
Student Survey
Online
Will measure 7 classroom climate constructs (Harvard Tripod Study):
Care, Challenge, Control, Clarify,, Captivate, Confer, Consolidate

5. Key Points to Keep in Mind
All teachers of record will be administering and proctoring the test
Other school staff without a cohort of assigned students will receive a growth score derived from school average
Support teachers will receive the score of the class where they provide support
Eventually all teachers will be able to use School City for in-class formative assessments as a tool to support instruction
