Course Description: The shift to online assessments in Pennsylvania is set for Spring 2026 with the PSSA and Keystone Exams being delivered in an online format to nearly all tested students in the Commonwealth. In this session, you will learn more about the three-part update to the PA System of Assessments including the implementation plan for online testing, the addition of technology-enhanced question types and integrated accessibility tools into the digital testing platform, and the newly released benchmarking tool (PA Firefly) designed to help educators predict students’ performance on the standardized exams. The session is designed for teachers with students in tested grades/subjects and any educators who work with student data. By the end of this session, you will have a better understanding of the drivers of the change, first-hand experience with the online testing platform, and more answers than questions about the details of these updates.
