Educational Assessment and Accountability

The assessment and accountability consultation staff provides a variety of resources to assist Wayne County Schools in the effective implementation of the Michigan education testing program and accountability requirements.

MEAP

The Michigan Educational Assessment Program assesses students in grades 3-9 based on the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations (GLEC's) in English language arts and mathematics and the Michigan Curriculum Framework in science and social studies. The MEAP is administered annually, in the fall.  >More Information at MDE

MEAP Tool Kit

The MEAP Toolkit aligns the Grade Level Content Expectations (GLCE's) with the released items from the fall MEAP administration. This resource provides a guide for the analysis of the instruction content included on the MEAP. The actual released items are provided for review of student performance at the state, district, school, and classroom level.  >More Information at MDE

MME

The Michigan Merit Examination assesses students in grades 11 and 12 based on Michigan High School Content Expectations (HSCE). It is administered each spring. The MME consists of three major components: the ACT Plus Writing college entrance examination; the Work Keys job skills assessment in reading and mathematics; and Michigan-developed assessments in mathematics, science, and social studies.   >More Information at MDE

MI ACCESS

MI-Access is Michigan's alternate assessment system, designed for students with cognitive impairments whose IEP (Individualized Educational Program) Team has determined that MEAP assessments, even with accommodations, are not appropriate. MI-Access satisfies the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) as reauthorized in 2004 and the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001 that require all students with disabilities be assessed at the state level.   >More Information at MDE
