Align all assessments with district, school and department goals. Make sure all the content in your SGO is covered in the assessment. Incorporate test items that vary in levels of difficulty. Include a sufficient number of test items to ensure rigor. Collaboratively determine possible modifications to meet the needs of students. Develop rubrics to assess essay responses. Make sure content- and skill-based rubrics are specific and address multiple levels of proficiency. Page 28 and Pages in Participant\u2019s Guide. Talk to the following points.

Will I use the same assessment, or modification of it, as a pre-test? If the assessment is used as a pre-test, how does it gauge my students\u2019 level of pre-required knowledge and skills for the course I am about to teach them? Does my assessment measure depth of understanding and are there questions that would challenge even my most knowledgeable students? 69.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
