Measurement• Embedded assessments– Contingent tutoring during the tasks
• Based on typical misconceptions or errors• Three levels of coaching• Uses logic trees to decide
• Benchmark assessments– System scores selected response and other tracking data– Teachers scores written responses– Bayes Net processes combined scores– Reports in 4 NCLB categories
