CTB/McGraw-Hill's Leading TerraNova Assessment Now Enhanced with Streamlined
Reports
Premier Reports Developed in Partnership with The Grow Network/McGraw-Hill
Provide a Clear View of Student Achievement and Outline Next Steps for
Learning

MONTEREY, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- CTB/McGraw-Hill today announced
the release of TerraNova(TM) Third Edition Premier Reports, a series of
streamlined assessment reports developed in partnership with The Grow
Network/McGraw-Hill that will give parents, teachers, principals and school
administrators a clear picture of student achievement as well as targeted
instructional activities to help students succeed.
TerraNova 3 is an up-to-date, research-based norm referenced assessment
that helps educators accurately measure K-12 students' skills relative to
standards. With the Premier Reports enhancement, the depth of TerraNova's
assessments will be communicated in easy-to-understand reports in five
categories: Home Reports, Class Reports, Grade Reports, School Summary Reports
and District Summary Reports.
"CTB's proven, rigorously researched TerraNova assessment now offers
companion reports that provide a comprehensive picture of student proficiency
for both educators and parents," said Ellen Haley, president of
CTB/McGraw-Hill. "These tools provide detailed information in an easy-to-use
format that makes data easy to understand, and helps students continue
learning and achieve academic success."
Among the new assessment reports is the Premier Home Report which will
enable parents to clearly see how students performed on key objectives by each
content area tested: Reading, Language, Mathematics, Science and Social
Studies. The Home Report also provides detailed instructional activities that
are directly tied to a student's assessment performance to engage families and
students in ways they can improve on key objectives. A Translation Guide for
understanding the Home Reports is available online in 10 languages for
non-English speaking families.
The Premier Class Report gives a clear snapshot of classroom performance
by subject objectives and also provides a student-by-student overall profile
that teachers can use to support differentiated instruction. The Grade-,
School-, and District-level reports provide teachers, principals, and
administrators with an executive level overview of assessment results.
TerraNova 3 is available in numerous options to suit district and diocese
needs including: Multiple Assessments, which combine multiple choice and
constructed response items; Complete Battery with multiple choice items only;
and Survey, a more streamlined version for use with limited testing times.
