From a process viewpoint the bulk of Measured Progress work starts with creation of test booklets for individual states and districts. These booklets must be collated into classroom packs and district level packages and shipped to schools. Once students take the tests booklets are returned to Measured Progress for scoring. Upon receipt each booklet is scanned assigned a barcode and then made available to scorers who score each booklet. In the end results are reported to schools and districts. While this seems like a logical and routine process it all happens .
