Ellevation Education, a Curriculum Associates company, has launched Ellevation Benchmark, an English language proficiency assessment designed to provide educators with timely data on English Learner progress throughout the school year. The assessment addresses a gap in current systems, where annual proficiency tests arrive too late to inform instruction. Ellevation Benchmark enables up to three assessments per year through 20-minute tests covering speaking, listening, reading and writing domains. The assessment integrates with Ellevation's existing platform, allowing educators to connect growth data directly to instructional planning and professional learning tools. This unified approach aims to help districts manage student progress, compliance and teacher practice within a single system. Ellevation Education currently supports English Learner programmes in more than 1,900 school districts across the United States, serving over 50% of the nation's English Learners.
