Direct Writing Asessment
The Direct Writing Assessment (DWA) is a criterion-referenced test that is designed to assess the writing skills of Utah students who are enrolled in grades six and nine. This writing test is an element of the Utah Performance Assessment System for Students (U-PASS). It was first administered statewide in the spring of 2002. For the 2004-05 school year, the DWA will be administered in grades 6 and 9 fourteen weeks before the last week of school, in order to return scores before the end of the school year. |
