Assessment Philosophy
Student Learning is a Dynamic Process
A function of the learner, environment, teacher, & lived
experiencesBest to define learning as a change
in behaviorAssessment is always a matter of purpose, context, and . . . A guess

Assessment as a Recursive Process
What is assessed?• Theory of learning• content taught• Students included
How is it assessed?• Nature & purpose of testing• Expected outcomes• Accommodations• Test administration• Incorporation of Universal Design • Scoring
What do the results mean?• Reporting• Alignment with other parts of system• Bias• Methods of choosing cut scores• Difficulty & discrimination of Test
Items• Score Comparability

What Should Be Assessed?
Prioritized academic and social behavior What the student needs What the student can use in learning

Priority of Target Behavior.
Determine and begin with high-priority behaviors. Low priority behaviors: annoying but
not harmful or of less educational importance.
Mild priority: frequently (but not repeatedly) interfere with educational performance.
Moderate-priority: repeatedly or significantly interfere with educational performance.
High-priority: excessive and persistent disruption to self and others.
