Four content-area assessments—Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA), Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies—will measure a foundational core of knowledge and skills, and an additional performance level will certify that adults are ready for college and careers.  \nThe Assessment Guide for Educators is a frontline resource that helps adult educators and administrators better understand the content of the new assessment. This guide is used to highlight the new assessment’s item types, assessment targets, guidelines for how items will be scored, and much more.  \nContinuing the Tradition of Opportunity  \nThe new assessment system will continue to provide adults the opportunity to earn a high school credential, as it’s done since 1942. It will measure career-and college-readiness skills that are not only the focus of today’s curriculum, but are also needed for success in both workforce and college programs.
