Quality

A high-quality assessment system, and each individual assessment, effectively and validly measures the mathematics that students know and are able to do. To determine if the assessment system and its elements are of high quality, rate each of the following seven items as fully met, partially met, not met, or don't know.


1. Assessments are developed on the basis of a coherent process beginning with content standards and culminating in test instruments. The elements of a quality assessment include item specifications, item development, field testing, rubric development, and scoring materials.
