The standards-based reform movement has resulted in the wide-spread use of summative assessments designed to measure students' performance at specific points in time. While many have hoped that these end-of-year tests would provide constructional useful information for educators, they do not. This is not because there is something "wrong" with these summative accountability tests, rather that they were not designed to meet instructional purposes. Recognizing the inherent limitations of summative assessment, educators are looking for additional assessments to inform and track student learning during the year. Large numbers of vendors are now selling what they call "benchmark," "diagnostic," and/or "predictive" assessments with promises of improving student performance. These systems often lay claim to the research documenting the powerful effect of formative assessment on student learning. However, the research in this area, including the seminal Black and Wiliam (1998) meta-analysis, evaluated formative assessments of a very different character than essentially all current commercially-available interim assessment programs. This policy brief provides a definition to differentiate between true classroom formative assessment and the interim assessments currently in the marketplace. It also describes a framework for understanding what purposes interim assessments can serve and considering their appropriate role in a comprehensive assessment system. The goal of this brief is to help district leaders thoughtfully examine the commercially-available interim assessment products, develop strong specifications for a customized system, develop their own interim assessments, or determine that interim assessments are not an appropriate tool for their assessment system. A second goal is to help state leaders consider what role they might play in supporting effective interim assessment practices. This policy brief is organized into the following seven sections: (1) Distinguishing among Assessment Types; (2) Questions to Start With; (3) Determining the Purpose for the Interim Assessment; (4) Characteristics of an Effective Interim Assessment System to Be Used for Instructional Purposes; (5) Current Commercially Available Interim Assessment Systems; (6) Implications for District and State Decision Makers; and (7) Conclusions.

This book focuses on interim and formative assessments as distinguished from the more usual interest in summative assessment. I was particularly interested in seeing what the experts have to say about a full system of assessment. This book has particular interest in what information a teacher, a school or even a state could collect that monitors the progress of a student as he or she learns. The authors were asked to think about assessing the effects of teaching and learning throughout the student’s participation in the curriculum. This book is the product of a conference by the Maryland Assessment Research Center for Education Success (MARCES) with funding from the Maryland State Department of Education.

Educators and policy makers in the United States have relied on tests to measure educational progress for more than 150 years. During the twentieth century, technical advances, such as machines for automatic scoring and computer-based scoring and reporting, have supported states in a growing reliance on standardized tests for statewide accountability. State assessment data have been cited as evidence for claims about many achievements of public education, and the tests have also been blamed for significant failings. As standards come under new scrutiny, so, too, do the assessments that measure their results. The goal for this workshop, the first of two, was to collect information and perspectives on assessment that could be of use to state officials and others as they review current assessment practices and consider improvements.

Educators and policy makers in the United States have relied on tests to measure educational progress for more than 150 years, and have used the results for many purposes. They have tried minimum competency testing; portfolios; multiple-choice items, brief and extended constructed-response items; and more. They have contended with concerns about student privacy, test content, and equity-and they have responded to calls for tests to answer many kinds of questions about public education and literacy, international comparisons, accountability, and even property values. State assessment data have been cited as evidence for claims about many achievements of public education, and the tests have also been blamed for significant failings. States are now considering whether to adopt the "common core" academic standards, and are also competing for federal dollars from the Department of Education's Race to the Top initiative. Both of these activities are intended to help make educational standards clearer and more concise and to set higher standards for students. As standards come under new scrutiny, so, too, do the assessments that measure their results. This book summarizes two workshops convened to collect information and perspectives on assessment in order to help state officials and others as they review current assessment practices and consider improvements.

Which types of validity evidence should be considered when determining whether a scale is appropriate for a given measurement situation? What about reliability evidence? Using clear explanations illustrated by examples from across the social and behavioral sciences, this engaging text prepares students to make effective decisions about the selection, administration, scoring, interpretation, and development of measurement instruments. Coverage includes the essential measurement topics of scale development, item writing and analysis, and reliability and validity, as well as more advanced topics such as exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, item response theory, diagnostic classification models, test bias and fairness, standard setting, and equating. End-of-chapter exercises (with answers) emphasize both computations and conceptual understanding to encourage readers to think critically about the material. ÿ

The purpose of this exploratory study is to examine the use of interim assessments and the policy supports that promote use to improve instruction, focusing on elementary school mathematics. The authors use the term "interim assessments" to refer to assessments that a) evaluate student knowledge and skills, typically within a limited time frame; and b) the results of which can be easily aggregated and analyzed across classrooms, schools, or even districts. Drawing on in-depth case studies of nine elementary schools located in two school districts, this study addresses four questions: (1) What policy supports at the school and district levels enhance the use of interim assessments to change instruction? How does instructional support, the nature of professional development, the sophistication of local data systems, and the school- and teacher-level incentives for improved instruction affect teachers' use of interim assessment data?; (2) How do elementary school teachers, individually and collectively, learn from interim assessment results in mathematics and apply that knowledge to instructional decisions about content, pedagogy, and working with individual students?; (3) In what ways are interim assessments situated within the wider context of teachers' formative assessment practices and tools?; and (4) What is the relationship among teacher capacity, analysis of assessment information, and teaching practice? This paper synthesizes the study's findings and discusses implications for the design of more effective interim assessment policies and practices. Each chapter contains figures, footnotes and references.
