- Administer a pre-test early in the program to establish a baseline of student skills.
- Conduct a mid-year or second pre-test to measure growth and adjust instruction where needed.
- Post-test at the end of the course or program to verify competency attainment and drive TIA data documentation.
- Analyze growth across all assessment points to demonstrate instructional impact.
