What Utah’s RISE benchmark modules are — and how districts should use them
Summary
USBE described benchmark modules as short, fixed-form, formative tools intended for local use; participation is optional and their reporting is not collected by USBE, and teachers can preview modules in TIDE but must not share items with students.
Fry told attendees benchmark modules are fixed-form and focused on standards, ranging from about 8 to 20 items: "They are focused on specific standards, so they're shorter and designed to be administered in 1 sitting rather than over multiple sessions."
She cautioned that benchmark module previews are not public and should not be used with students or copied into other materials because items are copyrighted. Fry reiterated that "Participation's not required, and reporting is not collected for use by USBE," emphasizing that benchmarks are formative tools for local instructional use rather than statewide accountability.
