Guidelines for Finding or Writing Assessment Items and Commentaries The assessment tasks that we find or write and elaborate should include the following components: • A prompt consisting of information given to students and instructions for what they are expected to do.
Accompanying commentary that describes: • The hard-to-assess aspect of proficiency that the item is designed to assess, including reference to important core content and practices specified in the Common Core Standards. • The purpose of and the context in which the item is meant to be used. In this case, the purpose should be more specific than “formative” or “summative”; for example, if summative, specify end-of-unit, national assessment, etc. • What the likely (correct or incorrect) student responses are and how they should be interpreted. Address likely student errors/misconceptions and how they would manifest and responses that indicated a partial but no completely mature level of proficiency in addition to an “ideal” student response. • How student responses should be evaluated. This should include clear, defensible, correct answers and/or rubrics. • Any additional information needed to properly situate or interpret the item statement and intended or probable student responses.
Standards for Mathematical Practices 1 - Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2- Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3 - Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4 - Model with mathematics. 5 - Use appropriate tools strategically. 6 - Attend to precision. 7 - Look for and make use of structure. 8 - Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
