Which term describes the degree to which an assessment consistently measures what it is supposed to measure across different occasions?
Answer: Reliability
Reliability refers to the consistency of assessment results over time or across raters, meaning the same student would receive similar scores under similar conditions.
A teacher uses portfolio assessment to evaluate student growth over a semester. The PRIMARY advantage of this approach is:
Answer: It captures growth and process over time, not just a single performance
Portfolios document a student's learning journey, showing growth and development across multiple pieces of work rather than a single snapshot.
In standards-based grading, a student's grade PRIMARILY reflects:
Answer: Mastery of specific learning standards
Standards-based grading reports a student's level of mastery of defined academic standards, separate from behavioral or effort factors.
A teacher wants to reduce bias when grading student essays. The BEST strategy is to:
Answer: Use a detailed analytic rubric and blind grading when possible
A detailed rubric anchors scoring to criteria, and blind grading (removing student names) reduces the halo effect and other grading biases.
Which question BEST guides a data-driven instructional decision meeting?
Answer: What does the data tell us about what students know and what they still need to learn?
Effective data team conversations focus on understanding student learning needs and instructional next steps, not on comparison or blame.
A score that compares a student's performance to a predefined standard of mastery rather than to other students is called:
Answer: Criterion-referenced score
Criterion-referenced scores measure student performance against a fixed standard (e.g., 80% = proficient) rather than relative to peer performance.
Which action BEST demonstrates that a school is using data ethically and responsibly?
Answer: Using data to identify and support underperforming subgroups while protecting student privacy
Ethical data use involves using information to improve outcomes for all students while strictly protecting individual student privacy in compliance with FERPA.
