TEST DEVELOPMENT PROCESSESTEST DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES(continued)
Every effort will be made to limit length of tests, while ensuring that they are valid and reliable.
Test designs will reflect knowledge of childhood development.
TEST ADMINISTRATION PROCESSESTEST ADMINISTRATION PROCESSES
Forms preparation – including manuals, scoring guides, translations and informational materialsScoring trainings – DVDs and turnkey trainingRescoring of 10% sample of operational tests
TEST ADMINISTRATIONTEST ADMINISTRATION: POINTS OF INTEREST
All ELA tests will be given the same week; all math tests will be given the same week.
We are still exploring several scoring models – to maximize effectiveness / timeliness, while minimizing loss of instructional time.

(continued)
SED will consult with school/district representatives when developing the testing schedule and scoring models.
Informational materials for parents and the public will be produced, in addition to those for teachers and administrators
CURRICULAR IMPLICATIONSCURRICULAR IMPLICATIONS
English Language Arts tests will be based on existing Core Curriculum.
A new Core Curriculum for Mathematics will be developed by Winter 2004-05 based on the recommendations of the Math Standards Committee.
