Accuracy & Purpose part 1
A teacher forms an ___________ based on the fraction math test: The student understands how to find the least common multiple but has not mastered making equivalent fractions.
What is an inference (or interpretation)?
A teacher determines that the science test scores accurately represent the mastery level of the students, as well as drives her future instruction of her class.
What is validity?
A 3rd grade math teacher gave his students the same 1-minute multiplication fact fluency assessment each day this week. The students scored similarly each day to their previous assessment scores.
What is test-retest reliability evidence?
A high school geometry teacher prepared three versions of a test on measuring angles. He was careful to make the three versions equally challenging for the students.
What is alternate-form reliability evidence?
A group of 5th grade teachers apply ________ __________ by discussing short answer, multiple choice, and timeline questions to include on the WW2 test. They want to ensure that the test provides evidence to accurately make an inference.
What is human judgment?
A teacher determines that assessing the writing assignment will help her understand which students are able to formulate a persuasive argument using textual evidence.

In order to ensure ____________ _____________ ___________, the 4th grade math teacher only included problems with addition and subtraction of mixed numbers with unlike denominators (but requiring no regrouping) on the quiz. Each quiz item measured the same skill.
What is internal consistency reliability?
61% of the fourth grade students at Park City Elementary school scored a 3 or 4 on the math portion of the GA Milestones. If the same group of students retook this assessment (without memory of taking it the first time), the students would be likely to be classified in the same groupings.
What is a decision-consistency estimate?
A school hired an _____________ ______________ to present (in plain language) how well the Milestones assessment's evidence can be used to support the inferences we make about students' mastery of grade level concepts, as well as how well the evidence drives future instruction for filling the gaps in students' learning.
What is an assessment consultant?
The volume quiz was able to provide the needed data for the teacher to group students into enrichment (composite figures) and remediation (using more visuals and unit cubes) groups.
What is instructional sensitivity?
Susie earned an 85 on the electricity test (getting 34 out of 40 questions correct). This assessment's _________ ________ __ ____________ was 2 points. If she retested, she would be expected to get 32 to 36 questions correct about two-thirds of the time.
What is the standard error of measurement?
An IQ test measures test-takers' intelligence and produces consistent results.
