DnA gives educators flexibility and control when creating assessments for K–12 students. Teachers can build from scratch using Renaissance DnA Inspect’s high-quality, standards-mastery item bank or customize any of the 600+ prebuilt assessments to match their district’s scope and sequence.

Renaissance DnA Inspect’s prebuilt assessments are designed and regularly updated to align with each state’s academic standards, ensuring that results provide accurate insight into student readiness and mastery.

Renaissance DnA Inspect includes more than 19 types of technology-enhanced items—such as drag-and-drop, hotspot, and multi-select questions—that mirror today’s online testing environments and keep students actively engaged during the testing process.

With immediate feedback, distractor rationales, and rich item metadata, DnA helps teachers pinpoint misconceptions and provide targeted support—turning every assessment into an opportunity for student learning.

DnA helps administrators monitor progress toward state standards mastery, guide resource decisions, and support equity-focused conversations. Prebuilt reports using state and national data—including CAASPP and SAT—provide a clear, comparable view of student achievement.

DnA’s custom reporting capabilities let administrators aggregate data across multiple DnA assessments alongside Star and other academic measures. This provides a more holistic view of student performance and supports data-driven decision making.
