Nevada

The state reviews local program data to identify problems and provide technical assistance.

The state provides local programs with test administration manuals, technical manuals, state guideline, and training. State trainers provide training on procedures for proper assessment for placement and progress. The state and local programs use LACES reports for placement, learning gains, accountability, and core performance measures.
