Puxi Grade 4: Grade 4 IOWA Tests

The 4th grade students participated in the Iowa tests from May 4th to May 14th. The Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS), also known as the Iowa Tests or ITBS tests, are standardized tests provided as a service to schools by the College of Education of the University of Iowa. The tests are administered to students in kindergarten through eighth grade as part of the Iowa Statewide Testing Programs, a division of the Iowa Testing Programs (ITP). The tests, originally named the Iowa Every Pupil Test of Basic Skills, in 1935 as a tool to improve instruction. Over decades, participation expanded and currently nearly all school districts in Iowa participate annually in the program, as do many other school districts across the United States. In a cooperative relationship, participating schools receive ITBS test materials, scoring and reporting services and consultation in the use of ITBS for instructional purposes, and ITP utilizes participation by schools in research and test development.
