Dr. Gloria Turner directs the Alabama Department of Education’s Student Assessment Program. Each facet of the state testing program is managed from this office which oversees the development, administration, scoring, and reporting of all required tests for K-12 students in Alabama.

Assessment specialists in core course content areas, as well as a special populations specialist (special education, 504, and limited English proficient), and a NAEP specialist assist in the management of the state testing program.

An additional component of the Student Assessment Program is managing the state accountability program.
