ASSESSMENT SYSTEM DESIGN
![Page 4: How the Assessment System Works Required Training Module 4](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c6f5503460f94921fed/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Content of the Assessment
• Grades 3-8 and high school– English Language Arts (ELA)–Mathematics
• Blueprints: – Consortium approved a subset of
Essential Elements – Consortium set minimum
requirements for breadth of coverage
![Page 5: How the Assessment System Works Required Training Module 4](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c6f5503460f94921fed/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ELA Content Coverage Example
3rd grade:• At least three EEs in C1.1 including
RL and RI (eight available)• At least two EEs in C1.2 from
different strands (five available)• At least one EE in C1.3 (two
available)• All students take one writing
assessment (one available)

Math Content Coverage Example
3rd grade:• At least two EEs from two
conceptual areas in claim 1 (four available)
• One EE in claim 2 (one available)• At least two EEs in claim 3 (three
available)• At least one EE in claim 4 (three
available)

Recording Content Choices
• Teachers create instructional plans in the Instructional Tools Interface (ITI) in Educator Portal
• Confirm assignment once ready to test
• System delivers a testlet and testlet information
![Page 8: How the Assessment System Works Required Training Module 4](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c6f5503460f94921fed/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Choose Linkage Level
• System makes recommendation
• Teacher can accept or override
• Review linkage level descriptors to find best match for the student

Test DesignInstructionally Embedded
• One testlet per EE chosen in ITI– Teacher chooses linkage
level
• Each testlet assigned separately
• Test administrator schedules sessions within testing windows
Spring (End of Year)
• Five testlets per subject– System chooses EEs
from within original set of teacher choices
– System chooses linkage levels
• Each testlet assigned separately
• Test administrator schedules sessions within window

What a testlet looks like
• Reading and math– Each testlet aligns to a single EE– 3-5 items per testlet– Engagement activity
• ELA: Built around a grade-level appropriate text; first read-through is engagement activity
• Engagement activity sparks prior knowledge
• Writing– Structured activity with several steps– Single testlet measuring multiple EEs

TESTING WINDOWS & TEST DELIVERY
![Page 14: How the Assessment System Works Required Training Module 4](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c6f5503460f94921fed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Instructionally Embedded Windows
• Begins in November 2014–Multiple windows
• Combination of operational and field test content in 2014-15
![Page 15: How the Assessment System Works Required Training Module 4](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c6f5503460f94921fed/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Instructionally Embedded Windows
Steps:1. Return to ITI and confirm
content choices2. Retrieve testlet information3. Administer testlet

Spring Window
• Purpose: to update and validate information about student performance
• States choose window within the consortium window
• 5 testlets per subject– Subset of teacher’s choices from
blueprint– System chooses linkage levels

System has testlets available at all 5 linkage levels for every EE
Students take one testlet from one level for each EE
System determines which level to deliver to the student

Results
• Will be based on mastery of EEs and linkage levels assessed• From assessments given all
year–Newer information updates older information
![Page 23: How the Assessment System Works Required Training Module 4](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c6f5503460f94921fed/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Score Reports
• Will be provided at individual student level
• Will include multiple levels of information– Essential Element mastery– Conceptual area summary– Overall performance
