Massachusetts District-Determined Measures
Example Assessments — Overview by Publisher/Source
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE), in partnership with WestEd, presents the following collection of
assessments appropriate for use as District-Determined Measures (DDMs). These assessments were chosen as examples because they were
aligned with critical content, as identified by the Core Course Objectives (CCOs) and/or appropriate Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, and
reviewed to ensure overall quality. The following report lists a wide range of assessments, including commercial, non-commercial, traditional, and
non-traditional assessments. Districts can use this resource to choose DDMs to implement with or without modifications or as models for locallydeveloped measures.
