Module 2: Collecting Standards-based Evidence

 Back to "Professional Development Sessions"

 

In Module 2, participants use mathematics standards of a hypothetical school district with a group of assessment items, to answer the question, What standards does the assessment address? Participants also discuss: How do we select assessment items? How do we decide which standards to emphasize in our assessments? and Are all standards "testable?"

 

 

As a result of engaging in Module 2, participants will:

  • look carefully at assessment tools to determine what they actually require of students,
  • use standards as a guide for creating assessments,
  • build an assessment framework, and
  • look for gaps and overlaps in their own assessments.
