O. Box 110500 Juneau, Alaska 99811-0500  \nMain: 907.465.2800  \nFax: 907.465.2806  \nAugust 23, 2023  \nDear Educator,  \nThank you for your dedication and quality work to improve student learning. Your engagement with students as well as your instructional decisions as professionals matter to the young people of Alaska. As you know, learning assessment happens every day in classrooms across our state. You administer many different assessments to evaluate whether students know and can demonstrate the knowledge and skills being taught. From assessment, educators may understand and identify resources for teaching and learning. Student learning measurement is a key part of high-quality teaching and learning. Thank you for your continued expertise in this educational construct.  \nThe Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR1), which is our state summative assessment of the English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics standards, plays a part in our overall understanding of student learning. Students in grades 3-9 take the AK STAR assessment, which is an innovative, balanced assessment system designed to recognize and celebrate students’ strengths and identify areas where a student needs support by connecting to the widely used MAP Growth interim assessment. AK STAR has also eliminated an additional testing window, giving time back to our classrooms for teaching!  \nAlso, a part of the summative assessment program is the Alaska Science Assessment2. This is administered to students in grades 5, 8, and 10. It is designed to measure student learning in relation to the threedimensional expectations of science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and cross-cutting concepts.  \nThe Department of Education and Early Development (DEED3) is dedicated to providing effective, accessible, and equitable assessments to best serve the needs of Alaska’s students. Although we experienced a delay and required more time to analyze the results of last year’s assessments, we look forward to establishing useful, as well as meaningful, benchmarks for which to set learning goals. As we continue to develop and implement a purposeful statewide assessment system, input from Alaska families and educators will continue to inform our efforts.  \nAlaska is fortunate to have great schools and passionate educators. Thank you for your hard work to provide an excellent education for every student every day. Have a terrific school year.  \nDeena Bishop, Ed.D.
