ELA Assessment Workshop

Evidence-based Design of ELA Classroom Assessments
to Address College and Career Ready (CCR) ELA Standards

Tuesday, January 30, 2024
4:00 – 6:00 pm CST

Heritage and Neal (2019) posited that classroom and large-scale psychometrics, the twain, can meet. In this session, meet that pair and how they have coached teachers into designing an aligned assessment that meets the language arts rigor required in today's CCR standards and ultimately impacts their practice for student learning. Using an evidence-centered design and the essential characteristics of high-quality items, participants will learn how to analyze and ultimately write an aligned assessment that supports valid conclusions and capitalize on solid psychometric designs. Extensive use of free technology tools will be provided to help support the assessment design process.
