| Abstract: |
The design and implementation of state assessment systems inevitably shape instruction. A growing number of states are seeking to design their state assessment systems to account intentionally for this relationship and lead to net positive impacts on teaching and learning. Based on the report, "Design Principles for Instructionally Relevant Assessment Systems," this brief describes six design principles that emerge as foundational for instructionally relevant assessment systems. Drawn from work alongside state leaders, assessment and curriculum designers, and teachers and leaders across several states, these design principles offer specific focus areas for assessment system design and development that can transform state assessments into tools for instructional good. |
