A Guide to Evaluating College- and Career-Ready Assessments: A Focus on Test Characteristics
November 2016
Description
The combined reports, "Test Quality Evaluation Methodology" and "Test Quality Evaluation Criteria," authored by Erika Hall and Susan Lyons, provide a comprehensive framework for evaluating college- and career-ready assessments. These documents aim to support the evaluation of assessments against the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) Criteria for Procuring and Evaluating High-Quality Assessments. The "Test Quality Evaluation Methodology" outlines a detailed approach to assessing the psychometric and statistical properties of educational assessments. The "Test Quality Evaluation Criteria" expands on this framework by providing a specific set of criteria that assessments must meet to be considered high quality.
