In addition to the state academic standards, the Department of Education developed and the State Board adopted Assessment Anchors for each subject and grade level assessed by the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA).

The following Pennsylvania Department of Education web link will provide you with detailed information on what the Assessment Anchors are and how they were developed; and additional links to all the Assessment Anchors for Reading, Mathematics, and Science :
