Supporting Data:

Based on a comprehensive needs assessment th= at=20 reflects an in-depth trend analysis from multipl= e data=20 sources across K-5 spanning all strands of mathe= matics=20 and content areas, it was found that the areas i= n need=20 are open response and multiple choice DAP and=20 Measurement.
