Assessments+-+Development+&+Deployment


 * Awareness**

I am aware of the need to create standards-based internal assessments aligned to local standards and state assessment expectations and am willing to accept professional development on the use of standards-based assessment types (e.g. skills, analytical, self, peer, etc.).

** Understanding ** I have developed a plan to create and implement varied forms of standards-based internal assessments with supporting procedures and policies to systematize student progress through all content area levels. I am beginning to use standards-based assessments.

** 1st Implementation ** I am beginning to use standards-based assessments in each content area level. I understand and use assessment results to advance students. I follow systematized procedures and policies.


 * May want to take out "each content area level".
 * We considered this, but decided that we wanted to encourage cross-curricular development of assessments.

I regularly use systematic standards-based assessment to assess mastery in all content area levels. My data collection has inter-rater reliability. I have plans and procedures in place to review and refine assessment procedures.

** Refinement **

My assessments are reviewed, edited, and revised on an established cycle, and student performance indicates high degree of predictability for success on external assessments. Stakeholders are involved in providing feedback on assessments and student performance.
