These trainings are designed to help schools and districts balance their assessments systems. There are a total of 17 trainings in this series.

Importance of Assessment Literacy
All Stakeholders, especially students
Assessments have always been part of schooling and that is no different today. A major portion of teaching is assessing the student as they are learning the content. The reasons for the assessments may have shifted a bit over time and newer, shinier assessments have been developed but they still have very important rolls within schooling. The assessments we use serve multiple purposes for multiple stakeholders, a teacher needs to know gaps in knowledge, an administrator needs to know how well the core is working, a student needs to understand their growth over time, a state needs to know about effective policy initiatives. In order to understand the process of gathering and interpreting data to answer these questions one must be literate in the tools, assessments, they are using to gather the information. Has a bad decision ever been made based on faulty information? All too often, teachers and students are harmed through the use of inappropriate measures or misinterpretation of the information. Assessment literacy is paramount.

70. Where We are Headed Helping Build Capacity Within the State of Kansas
Assessment Literacy Trainings
Assessment Literacy Standards
Assessment Literacy Micro-credentialing
Assessment Literacy Assessment
This is one way we would like to help. We want to develop this through a backwards design, first outlining the standards, what is expected of each stakeholder to know and be able to do. Then we develop an assessment, measure, to know how we will know when they have these skills. Next we will develop trainings to help them get to that point.

71. The Standards
The 1990 Standards: competence-educational-assessment-students
Work being done at The National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment, Inc. (Center for Assessment):
The Michigan Assessment Consortium:
The Colorado Department of Education:
And of course the work done at the Kansas Department of Education:

72. The Assessment Job Analysis
tasks needed to perform a job and the knowledge/skills needed to perform these tasks
provides validity evidence for employment-related tests
“to support a claim that the knowledge or skills being assessed are required for credential-worthy performance in an occupation and are consistent with the purpose for which the licensing or licensure program was instituted…Some form of job or job analysis provides the primary basis for defining the content domain” -The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing
Brannick, M.T. & Levine, E.L. (2002). Job Analysis: Methods, Research, and Applications for Human Resource Management in the New Millennium. Thousand Oaks: Sage. American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, National Council on Measurement in Education. (1999). The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.
I have done a literacy review and this is a second focus group. Next may be a survey or interviews depending on response patterns. The primary purpose of the survey is to confirm the important tasks and knowledge/skills to perform the job at an accepted level.
The NCATE Standards, primarily Standard 8, is required for preservice teachers to demonstrate their understanding of assessments. This assessment would be for in-service teachers and administrators to ensure they have access to the on-going professional development needed to be successful in carrying out the assessment portion of their job. This will be formative in nature like other in-service professional development. The difference being, seat time is not what is counted but the assessment at the end. The KPTP identifies areas in which the student needs further development as an inservice teacher, this will continue the process as assessment literacy shifts and deepens depending on the career development of the teacher.

DLM is based on Instruction
Begin by Selecting Essential Elements (number of elements vary by grade)
Provide Instruction on Essential Element
Assess Essential Element – Test with a Testlet 3-5 questions
Average time to complete the Testlet is 5 minutes
Teachers should assess as they instruct

94. Dynamic Learning Maps Teachers complete
First Contact Survey – characteristics of the student
Person Needs Profile - Accommodations
Then the student receives a Testlet that is customized to the them.
