Everyday, Alaska’s educators dedicate countless hours helping students build skills, expand knowledge, and grow in confidence. Assessments offer students the chance to show just how far they’ve come—and to demonstrate that the work happening in our classrooms matters.  \nIn spring 2022, Alaska launched two significant assessments: the Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR) and the Alaska Science Assessment. These changes were not made in isolation—they were shaped by feedback from Alaska’s educators. Teachers and administrators across the state expressed a clear desire for more meaningful assessment practices that better reflect what students know and are able to do. The result is a more aligned, purposeful system focused on student success.  \nAK STAR, administered in grades 3 through 9, highlights student strengths and identifies areas where support is needed in English language arts and mathematics. The Alaska Science Assessment reflects three-dimensional science and engineering practices, giving students the opportunity to engage with core ideas and concepts that shape our understanding of the world.  \nThese assessments are valuable tools. They empower families and students to see progress, help educators tailor instruction, and guide leaders in directing resources where they’re needed most. Most importantly, they tell a story—a story of learning, effort, and achievement.  \nWe know how much time, energy, and heart you put into your work. Preparing for these assessments is no small task, and we thank you for ensuring students are ready and confident to show what they know and can do.  \nAlaska’s public schools matter. Let’s keep showing the world that what happens in our classrooms is meaningful, powerful, and worth every bit of effort. Thank you for your focus, your passion, and your belief in our students.  \nWith gratitude and excitement for learning outcomes,  \nDeena M. Bishop, Ed.
