The purpose of ERB CTP is to assess student growth and performance at the time of testing. This enables the Swain to identify strengths and weaknesses at an individual and group level. ERB CTP is considered a “low stakes” assessment, intended to help teachers and administrators make decisions about curriculum and classroom instruction. ERB CTP is designed to assess what students know—not their ability to identify the probable right answer. Used in this way, the ERB CTP serves as a diagnostic tool and helps yield reliable results.
