Aligning Assessments to State Standards
Earlier in this chapter, we showed how you can derive your learning objectives from your state’s standards. It is important that you maintain consistency by aligning your classroom assessments as well as the learning objectives with the state’s standards. First, align your assessments with the learning objectives that you derive from the state’s standards (in the manner we showed earlier). Second, ensure that your assessments match the span of content covered by the standards, the depth of thinking implied by the standards, the topical emphasis in the standards, and the same types of performances as are specified in the standards.
CONCLUSION
Well-conceived learning objectives are the foundation for both instruction and assessment. They are also the means by which instruction and assessment are coordinated. Such coordination or alignment is the basis for valid classroom assessment. In Chapter 3 , we consider the broader concept of validity for both classroom and large-scale assessment.
