Our mission is to positively impact student learning by ensuring the development and administration of valid and reliable assessments that:
- Measure the effectiveness of curriculum and instruction
- Include data systems and structures that provide students, teachers, administrators and stakeholders with the information needed to make informed decisions
- Produce a measure indicating progress towards readiness for college and career
- Uphold the belief that all students can learn and achieve at high levels
- Hold schools and the PED accountable to create equitable opportunities for students
New Mexico’s required assessments meet state and federal requirements (English | Spanish) for Title I, Title II, and Title III. These assessments are used for a variety of accountability measures.
