State Testing in Mississippi
Mississippi requires students to take several assessments in K-12th grade. Using the MDE link provided in the CANVAS module, research, and write a description of each assessment (one well-constructed paragraph minimum for each assessment).

There should be a heading for each of the following:
ACT State Testing
English Language Proficiency Test (ELPT)
Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA)
Literacy-Based Promotion Act Assessments (LBPA)
Mississippi Academic Assessment Program (MAAP)
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
For each assessment, include the following information:
Purpose of the assessment
Grades levels involved in assessment
How can classroom teachers ensure that students are prepared?
Discuss any experience you have had with the assessments as a student, parent, teacher assistant, etc.
