The Power of One-on-One Assessment

BAS 2.0 and SEL 2.0 provide a comprehensive view of each student’s reading abilities, assessing critical aspects of their literacy development. One-on-one assessment conferences uncover student reading behaviors in a way other assessments can’t, offering educators a deep understanding of each student’s strengths and areas for growth.

Culturally Responsive Assessment Texts

BAS 2.0 and SEL 2.0 feature a rich collection of diverse and inclusive texts that reflect a wide range of cultures and experiences in English and Spanish. This ensures that all students see themselves represented in the reading materials, which can enhance engagement and motivation.

Equitable Assessment for All Students

These assessments are designed to provide an equitable assessment experience for English- and Spanish-speakers. By offering parallel systems in English and Spanish, BAS 2.0 and SEL 2.0 ensure that every student receives an accurate and unbiased evaluation of their reading abilities.

Actionable Data to Drive Instruction

With BAS 2.0 and SEL 2.0, educators can collect and analyze detailed data that directly informs instructional decisions. These systems provide clear, actionable insights that help teachers identify student needs, track progress, and adjust instruction for maximum effectiveness.

Benchmark Assessment System (BAS) 2.0 and Sistema de evaluación de la lectura (SEL) 2.0 should be part of the assessment strategy for every school and district. Let us help you make the assessment experience in your school or district as personal as it is powerful.
