Assessment

The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction provides professional services and guidelines to administer the North Dakota State Assessment (NDSA), North Dakota Alternate Assessment (NDAA), ACCESS for English Learners, and ACT in accordance with state and federal law. The NDDPI coordinates the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) in accordance with federal laws through the Department of Education.

Districts should prepare to administer the annual state assessments in 2020-2021.  Research and communications are ongoing to determine how administration can be completed as well as flexibilities that can be granted to help complete administration.
