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.
