The “Black Box” Findings
Black and Wiliam’s research indicates that improving student learning through assessments depends upon five factors: Providing feedback to students Students’ active involvement in their own learning Adjusting teaching to take account for results of
assessment Recognizing influence of assessment on students’
motivation and self-esteem Ensuring students assess themselves and
understand how to improve
Inside the Black Box: Raising Standards through Classroom Assessment,” KAPPAN, 1998.

Benchmark / Interim Assessments
Are usually a form of summative assessmentCan be used as an early warning of performance on later high stakes testsOften constructed by external sourcesCan cover some or all of a year’s curriculumProvides broad domain or sub-domain coverage (minimally diagnostic)Results raise programmatic questions that require further investigation (*formative for program – not current student)

Assessment in Support of Learning
Assessment quality must address the impact of the results on the learner and the learning. Assessments must: go beyond merely providing judgments about student
performance to providing rich descriptions of student performance.
evolve from being isolated events to becoming events that happen in ongoing series to reveal patterns.
go beyond merely informing instructional decisions of teachers to informing decisions also made by students.

Standard, Progression, Target
Standard: What we want students to be able to know and do at the end of any given time – CT Standards (CCSS)
Learning Progression: “Descriptions of the successively more sophisticated ways of reasoning within a standards content domain.” (Smith et al, in press)
Learning Targets: These are statements of intended learning based on the standards. Learning targets are in kid friendly language and are specific to the lesson for the day and directly connected to assessment.

Student Success
If all students are to succeed, they must have continuous access to credible evidence of their own academic success at mastering prescribed achievement standards.
This will reveal to the learner and the teacher, not only current achievement status, but improvements in student own capabilities—a powerful booster of confidence and motivation.

Important Question
to be Answered
Implications for the Assessment System
What am I supposed to learn? Accurate assessments must reflect the learning targets.
What have I learned already, and what do I still need to work on?
Continuous sequence of accurate CA must provide descriptive feedback in student-friendly terms during learning.
Have I met or am I progressing toward the standards?
Assessments must provide evidence of mastery throughout the year.
Have I met the state achievement expectations?
Annual state assessments reporting standards mastered/not yet mastered.

Using Evidence-Centered Designto Guide Item Design
1. What evidence is required given the assessment target I am measuring?
2. What are the key features that must be included in the item?
3. Will this item allow for the production of the evidenceI am seeking?
4. Is there anything about this item that may make it more difficult to collect evidence from some students?

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
“Universal Design does not imply ‘one size fits all’ but rather acknowledges the need for alternatives to suit many different people’s needs.”
“… the essence of UDL is flexibility and the inclusion of alternatives to adapt to the myriad variations in learner needs, styles, and preferences.”
– Rose and Meyer

Ms. McCrary wants to make a rabbit pen in a section of her lawn. Her plan for the rabbit pen includes the following:•It will be in the shape of a rectangle.•It will take 24 feet of fence material to make.•Each side will be longer than 1 foot.•The length and width will measure whole feet.
Part ADraw 3 different rectangles that can each represent Ms. McCrary’s rabbit pen. Be sure to use all 24 feet of fence material for each pen.
Use the grid below. Click the places where you want the corners of your rectangle to be. Draw one rectangle at a time. If you make a mistake, click on your rectangle to delete it. Continue as many times as necessary.
Use your keyboard to type the length and width of each rabbit pen you draw. Then type the area of each rabbit pen. Be sure to select the correct unit for each answer.
[Students will input length, width, and area for each rabbit pen. Students will choose unit from drop down menu.]
Pen 1: Length: (feet, square feet) Width: (feet, square feet) Area: (feet, square feet)
Part BMs. McCrary wants her rabbit to have more than 60 square feet of ground area inside the pen.

If I am elected, I will hold several fundraisers so that all students in the 4th grade can go on a trip at the end of the year. Also, we can donate a portion of the money to a charity of our choice. If you want a class president who will work hard for you and listen to your needs, please vote for me next week!”

Below is a poem, a sonnet, in which the speaker discusses her feelings about a relationship. Read the poem and answer the question that follows.
Rememberby Christina RossettiRemember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand,Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.Remember me when no more day by day 5 You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understandIt will be late to counsel then or pray.Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: 10 For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige* of the thoughts that once I had,Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
In the sonnet “Remember,” which two lines reveals a change in the speaker’s message to her subject?

DON’T Do ANYTHING until you have a clear

standard. Write each item to align with the content of
ONLY the current grade level. Write items that attend to the “middle of
the class”. Focus on ONLY the content standards.

Write items and tasks that focus on big ideas, interconnections, and critical 21st century student skills (problem posing & solving, research/inquiry, speaking & listening, use of complex informational texts)
Consider both vertical and horizontal learning progressions

Balanced Assessment System---A balanced assessment system is a configuration of different assessment types and processes to fulfill purposes that align with expectations for learning and performance (Bazemore, Cippoletti, Howard, et al., 2008). It meets the needs of all users, but does not necessarily mean equal or of equal weight
