The Details!

Assessment Considerations• Assessments should cover key subject and

grade-level content standards.• No items, questions, or prompts should cover

standards that the course does not address.• The assessment structure should mirror the

distribution of teaching time devoted to course content.

• The cognitive demand of the assessment should match the full range of cognitive thinking required during the course.
