STRAND H, SESSION 4: ALTERNATE ASSESSMENTS’ CONTRIBUTIONS TO BETTER CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION AND TESTING
|
| Abstract: |
The presenters have designed an alternate assessment, the 1% and 2%, for several states. This session will extract practices enacted to build these alternate assessments and to train teachers to conduct them that have direct implications for better instruction and teacher made tests. The focus will be on opportunity to learn/alignment with standards, scoring rubrics that can be used to communicate and interpret results, objective evidence, and accessible materials and test items.
