Creating Benchmark Assessments

Decision Points:





  • What will be the common ‘Essential Outcomes’ for each grade level?
  • Which of the two benchmark assessment types will you use?
  • What targets will you assess?
  • What will you use as the “map” for your benchmark assessment?
  • What ‘scale’ will you use (50%? 80%?)
  • What will you use as the items for your benchmark assessment?
  • Which will you construct and which will you find?
  • How will you ‘guarantee’ that each is deeply aligned?
