Using the Assessment Blueprint
November 5, 2010

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?

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

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
