Periodic Assessments

Design Your Own Assessments

Schools that review the DOE-provided Periodic Assessment portfolio and decide the available options do not meet their needs may apply to design their own Periodic Assessments. Schools may also apply to renew an existing Design Your Own Assessment program. 

Key Document and Events

The DYO ARIS Connect Community contains resources posted after the December 2, 2009 DYO Conference, and provides a space for educators to engage in conversations around assessment design with colleagues.
