8th Grade Science Guide

CSD District-wide Standards-based Assessment (DWSBA) Science How To Guide

RISE Benchmarks will be utilized for the DWSBA in order to give students an opportunity to practice using the tools in the RISE portal prior to the assessment, and provide predictive data to teachers to determine which students need additional support and resources to be successful on end of year RISE Exams. Data from assessments will also be reviewed in aggregate form at the district level for problem solving. These assessments can be found, previewed, and administered at https://utahrise.org/. Please follow the How to Guide, found below, for step by step instructions of administering a benchmark assessment. If you need an account, contact Cindy.Perry@canyonsdistrict.org.
