Use NGSS Assessment Kits by ACASE to assess NGSS in your classroom. For each NGSS Standard we have unpacked the evidence statement into a series of discrete learning goals, each with its own rubric.

Why use NGSS Assessment Kits by ACASE?
- Each assessment kit is internally rated for validity and reliability.
- Each assessment kit has been aligned to its standard using the techniques of Practical Educational Science.
- Each assessment kit has been tested on real students multiple times.
- The scale is based on inter-rater reliability in real-world classroom applications. To achieve higher ratings the assessment kits need to have gone through progressively more iterations.
