M-Step
The Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP) is a 21st Century test given primarily online each spring and is designed to gauge how well students are mastering state standards. These standards, developed for educators by educators, broadly outline what students should know and be able to do in order to be prepared to enter the workplace, career education training, and college.
M-STEP results, when combined with classroom work, report cards, local district assessments and other tools, offer a comprehensive view of student progress and achievement. To learn more about the M-STEP, visit the M-STEP webpage (www.michigan.gov/mstep).
