Designing Mathematics Classroom Assessments to Address College and Career Ready (CCR) Standards Video Length: 101 minutes View video & complete workshop activities: 115 minutes Continuing education credit is not available for this program. Workshop documents are provided and can be downloaded after purchase. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1) Examine a sequence for developing assessments for classroom use. 2) Apply principles for developing and analyzing mathematics classroom assessments that are valid for classroom use. 3) Create questions that reflect the depth and breadth of CCR mathematics classroom standards. 4) Explore ways that teachers can use principles from psychometrics to ensure valid and reliable designs. ABSTRACT: In this sessions, learn how two administrators use principles from Heritage and Neal to coach teachers into designing an aligned classroom assessment that meets the mathematics rigor required in today's College and Career Ready (CCR) standards and ultimately impacts their practice for student learning. In this interactive workshop participants will use an evidence-centered design and the essential characteristics of high-quality items to actively learn how to analyze and write an aligned assessment that supports the three principles of the CCR mathematics standards.
