DACS - Continuing to Grow!
The Dakota Assessment of Content Standards (DACS), an effective diagnostic tool for schools, will be available for the 2007-2008 school year to use with your students at NO additional charge to you! This marks the
eighth consecutive year of the continued partnership with Scantron.
The South Dakota Department of Education is making the DACS assessments in Math, Reading, Science
and Language Arts diagnostic assessments available to all districts that want an effective diagnostic tool that will provide immediate feedback to teachers and administrators to help impact classroom instruction and enhance student performance as it relates to the South Dakota Content Standards.
We have added Skills Connection On-Line, an integrated teacher resource that provides immediate individualized resources for each student based on their assessment results!
Training and assistance is available for those who are
interested. Please contact Nette (Jeanette) Meade at
jeanette.meade@state.sd.us
or call (605) 773-4662 for more information.
