  1. Using the Assessment Blueprint November 5, 2010

  2. What is it? • An assessment blueprint is a tool to guide the development of high-quality assessment linked directly to standards-based learning targets. Bridges the two questions: • What should each student know and be able to do? • How will we know when each student has learned it?

  3. Why is it important? High-quality assessments: • Align instruction and assessment • Questions/tasks are tied to learning targets • Students are assessed at the same level they receive instruction • Account for rigor and relevance • Depth of knowledge and applicability

  4. How is it used? Use an assessment blueprint to: • Construct or critique an assessment • Ensure each learning target is taught and assessed • Identify the level of knowledge and application (quadrants) • Determine type of response to measure student learning (question/task) • Establish the specific details/information expected in the student response
