The Dallas Assessment Navigator is a cloud-based platform and will be used to administer and score district assessments online.

The purpose of the Dallas Assessment Navigator is to provide innovative learning solutions using assessments and analytics to help students gain mastery of knowledge and skills necessary for college and career readiness. Integrating within the 2nd grade - 12th grade environment, this platform delivers intuitive tools to monitor progress and facilitate data-driven decisions that improve student outcomes.

The Dallas Assessment Navigator also allows users to easily create a variety of item and assessment types. Students may take assessments online on the student portal or optionally use a scannable answer sheet. It can be integrated with most learning management systems as well as Google Classroom, so your assessments and reports can be launched right from your digital classrooms!
