Here at DEED, we appreciate the time and effort that go into performing these duties.  \nTest Administrators, District and Building Test Coordinators, technology staff, and all other staff involved in assessments are a crucial part of a successful implementation of all statewide assessments. It is only through your hard work and dedication that we are able to produce valid and reliable statewide assessment results. These results inform stakeholders at all levels to make decisions that improve the learning of students all over the state of Alaska.  \nWe appreciate the outstanding work of all Alaska’s educators and wish to extend our continued support and gratitude.  \nSincerely,  \nDEED Assessments Team  \nTable of Contents  \nPart 1—General Information  1  \nAbout Alaska System of Academic Readiness Assessments  1  \nWho Should Read This Manual?
