Assessment ~ Instruction ~ School Improvement in Maryland

Maryland developed a new assessment system in 2003 that was designed to meet the requirements of the federal legislation, 'No Child Left Behind'. The Maryland School Assessment (MSA) is aligned with the Maryland Content Standards in reading and math, which specify by grade what students should know and be able to do. Maryland also requires students to pass High School assessments (HSA) to receive high school diplomas beginning with students who are in the ninth grade during the 05-06 school year. --Ann Glazer, Director of Assessment
