Arch Assessment Testing Services

As teachers, we are constantly striving to find the most effective way in which to test the development and progress of our students. Whether you may be searching for testing strategies for state, district, or school-wide testing, through Arch, ALCA has created and documented a range of strategies.

ALCA provides a variety of standards-aligned testing strategies that support district-wide benchmarking, unit pre- and post-testing, quizzes and formative-based testing that use clickers. Below are QuickStart videos that demonstrate Arch's numerous assessment features.

Creating District-wide Benchmark Assessments
