# Understanding ‘Through-Year’ Assessment Booklet

## What Everyone Should Know

### Education leaders are rethinking assessment like never before, and it’s time to put students, teachers, and families first.

While the single-score, year-end assessment remains important, new and more comprehensive systems are also in development—and one of the most important is the “through-year” assessment. As through-year models expand into more states across the nation, learn how this system can impact people at every level of education, including: 

- State Education Leaders 
- District Leaders 
- School Leaders 
- Classroom Teachers 
- Parents and Caregivers 
- Students
