2012 Assessment Workshop Description
(2013 description coming soon)
The Kilgo Assessment Workshops will focus on developing assessment
items that will accurately and effectively assess the TEKS/Student Expectations
to the new level of rigor required for STAAR and EOC. These workshops will show
you how to apply Margaret Kilgo’s current research on assessment models to:
-
Develop
constructed, open-ended response assessment items requiring students to
“show their work” for an accurate evaluation of students’ progress and
achievement in the TEKS/SEs including how to give partial credit;
-
Align
selective response, multiple-choice assessment items from a variety of
sources including web banks and sample items to the correct level of
assessment rigor of the TEKS/SEs for STAAR and EOC through an editing
process;
-
Develop
dual-coded assessment items at the correct level of rigor required on STAAR
and EOC for:
-
genre
specific TEKS strands with Figure 19 D, E (Reading, Gr. 3-8) and Figure
19 B (Eng. I, II, III)
-
content
and process TEKS/SEs in science and social studies
-
content
and underlying process TEKS/SEs in mathematics
-
Make grades
on teacher-made tests a more accurate predictor of STAAR and EOC student
performance; and
-
Use the Kilgo
Data-Driven Decisions process with campus/district 2012 data by specific
TEKS/SEs in the design of benchmark assessments to more accurately predict
student performance on STAAR and EOC by avoiding over-testing strengths and
under-testing weaknesses in the instructional program.
The Kilgo assessment models and processes
presented in these workshops apply to both regular and special education
students and teachers.
