Trustworthy formative assessments, grounded in learning science
Navvy classroom assessments are expertly crafted to provide accurate and concise diagnoses. Each contains 6–8 questions, with a tailored mix of cognitive complexity level 1, 2, and 3 questions that best represent a given standard. As an on-demand and modular system, teachers have the flexibility to assess one standard at a time or in combinations they choose — with Navvy Learning Maps guiding next steps along the way.

Clarity of standard competency at every level
Using a novel data science approach, Navvy clearly and confidently articulates standard-by-standard competency with instant results and insightful reports. Know exactly which academic standards a student has learned and what percentage of students have—and have not yet—achieved standard competency at the class, school, and district levels.

Foster healthy student learning mindsets
Students are on a mission in Navvy to earn microcredentials! For each standard, students have multiple opportunities to succeed, allowing for personalized pacing and celebrations of learning as it occurs. This research-backed, proprietary method empowers students to own their learning journey.
Automated measures for standards-based report cards
Do you have a competency-based learning model? Navvy is a natural fit! By identifying the standards each student has learned (and what they still need to learn), Navvy makes it easier for educators to implement standards-based teaching and grading practices.
Top three ways Navvy enhances standards-based grading practices
- Teachers rely on Navvy’s state-specific, ready-made assessments to inform report cards and save time through automatic scoring. Dynamic dashboards instantly refresh to give educators real-time, easily exported data on student performance.
- A standards-based grading approach values learning progress over a letter grade, which is reflected throughout Navvy. Students take pride in each badge they earn, whether they demonstrated competency on their first or third attempt.
- Navvy makes learning targets clear to educators, caregivers, and most importantly, students, so everyone can work together to support student achievement.
Navvy resources
Classroom assessments have traditionally been seen as tools for evaluating student progress. But they can do so much more. When approached as assessments as learning, these tools can actively engage students in their learning process, fostering real-time growth and deeper understanding. The following resources can help you gain a deeper understanding of Navvy and how it can help you better understand which standards your students have — and have not yet — mastered.
Beyond assessments for learning: Classroom assessments as learning
By shifting the focus from evaluation to student growth, we understand that formative classroom assessments are often seen as assessments for learning. But did you know that they can also be assessments as learning? Dr. Laine Bradshaw discusses how these measures can drive real-time learning.
Standard-level instructional resources to support personalized instruction
The Navvy classroom assessment system includes instructional resources to address the question of “what now?” that teachers are often faced with when students did not fully learn a standard during primary instruction.
To help students grow you must know what they know
Knowing which concepts and skills your students have mastered is critical to helping them grow. Enter Navvy, an online standard-by-standard classroom assessment system.
Navvy educators say it best
Guiding personalized learning
“The difference with Navvy is knowing exactly which standard it is that my student is struggling on. That’s going to allow me the opportunity to differentiate for that kid based on what they know and don’t know yet.”
- District Curriculum Coordinator
A game changer
“Navvy has been a real game changer for us. We were able to take the Navvy data and know how to help the students who did not master at that first attempt. Getting information based on depth of knowledge was critical.”
- District Mathematics Coordinator
Student achievement
“I used Navvy consistently throughout the year. In the end, my students had the highest scores in [the state assessment]. I feel like it was because I was constantly looking at those standards and making sure my students had mastered them in Navvy.”
