How to create high quality assessment items

Introduction to Lesson

For many teachers, the types of assessment items seen in NGAP vary greatly from the ones used in their own assessments. This is not only true for the technology that is used, but also how these assessment items are written and how students interact with them. Next generation assessment items are not just items put into an online assessment. They are high quality assessment items that have an evidence-centered design and include universal design, accessibility, bias, and sensitivity considerations.

To help students prepare for next generation assessments, teachers need to write assessments that contain high quality assessment items. In this lesson, you will learn how to create next generation assessment items and put that knowledge into practice by creating your own.
