M-STEP

Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress

April 8 – May 10 for grades 5, 8, and 11

April 29 – May 31 for grades 3, 4, 6, and 7

The M-STEP is a 21st Century online test given for the first time in the Spring of 2015. It 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. https://www.michigan.gov/mde
