Impact on P-12 Learning

 

The Impact on P-12 Learning is representative by the results of Pruebas METAS (Alterna y Regular) in Ponce School Region by Puerto Rico Department of Education (PRDE).

The assessment, through standardized tests, META-PR and META-PR Alterna, measures the achievement of each student based on the curriculum and learning activities that are developed in the classroom. Both tests are aligned with the 2014 Content and Expectations Standards, approved by PRDE. Standardized tests measure the performance of students in various subjects and grades. For students identified with significant cognitive impairments that cannot be assessed with regular measurement tests, even with the provision of accommodations, an alternative assessment is provided to address their needs and gain participation.
