Engagement on these key priorities related to Early Years Student Assessments has been undertaken to help determine future steps in the development and implementation of provincial assessments.  \nIn April 2021, the College of Alberta School Superintendents (CASS) sent out a survey to all school authorities (including public, separate, Francophone, charter, First Nations, and independent schools), asking them to provide details on their existing practices for early years literacy and numeracy standardized assessments.  \nThe survey’s findings are provided in the following sections.  \nHow many school authorities completed the survey?  \nA total of 70 school authorities responded to the survey, representing about 80% of the total student population in Alberta. 182 unique survey responses were received, or about 2 – 3 surveys for each authority. (Note: each school authority was asked to complete a separate survey for each standardized assessment used.)  \nEarly Years Standardized Assessment Report | Alberta Education, Provincial Assessment 1  \nSurvey Findings  \nWhat are the most commonly used standardized assessments across the province?  \nMost assessments are used as tools to determine student strengths and difficulties in language literacy.  \n\n| Top 8 Standardized |  |  | Number | Percentage |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Assessments Used by |  |  | of School | of School |\n| School Authorities Surveyed | Grades | Purpose | Authorities | Authorities |\n| Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System (BAS) | K–6 | Used as a global reading screener to identify students who are not meeting grade level expectations for reading. | 39 | 55.7% |\n| Math Intervention Programming Instrument (MIPI) | 2–10 | Used to evaluate a student’s understanding of concepts taught atthe previous grade level.
