What is Assessment Literacy?
Classroom assessment literacy is the knowledge and skills needed to do two things: (1) gather accurate information
about student achievement, and
(2) use the assessment process and its results effectively to improve achievement.

Assessment Literacy & the TPGES
Traits of teachers who positively impact student learning:
• Are adept at using and creating a variety of assessments to monitor student learning
• Assess frequently• Understand how to interpret and use
assessment data• Use assessment data to adjust

Goal setting for student growth –
Setting a goal based on current student need followed by an on-going process of
reflection and analysis to support students in
attaining that goal.
High-Level Assessment Practices and Goal Setting for Student Growth
Step 1:Determine
needs
Step 2:Create specific learning goals based on pre-assessment
Step 3:Create and implement
teaching and learning
strategies
Step 4:Monitor student progress through ongoing
formative assessment
Step 5:Determine whether students
achieved the goals

Do the measures used to show student growth expect students to demonstrate mastery of the standards at the intended level of rigor?
Do my selected measures reach the level of rigor expected across the district?
Rigor
Congruency to standardsDo the measures ask students to
demonstrate mastery of the identified skills, concepts or processes at the level of rigor
intended in the standard?
It is the congruency to standards that make our measures both rigorous and comparable.

A Science GoalThis school year, all of my 6th grade science students will demonstrate measurable growth in their ability to plan and carrying out scientific investigations. Each student will improve by two or more levels on the district science rubric, Designing and Implementing Scientific Investigations. Furthermore, 80% of students will perform at level 3 (Proficient) on the rubric.

Seven Strategies of Assessment FOR Learning
Where am I going?1- Provide students clear learning targets.2-Use models of strong and weak work.Where am I now?3-Offer regular descriptive feedback.4-Teach students to self-assess and set goals.How do I close the gap?5-Focus on one learning target at a time.6-Teach students focused revision.7-Engage students in self-reflection/assessment.

Next steps . . . 1. Review the resources provided and those attached. Possibly a book study is a next step for you.
2. Pull on the expertise of teachers who have studied assessment literacy in the Ky Content Leadership Networks.
3. Use the Target-Method Match on slide 16 to inventory the kinds of assessments you use or that are available to you.
33
Next steps . . . 4. As a district, think about how you can provide guidance to schools on sources of evidence that meet rigor and comparability.
