An "assessment blueprint" is a document that indicates the knowledge and skills that will be covered in an assessment instrument and the percentage of the assessment that will be devoted to each area of knowledge and skills. The Minnesota assessment blueprints will be used to review the appropriateness of existing assessments by determining how closely those assessments match up to what the Audio/Video Technology and Film career pathway teams have determined should be assessed. The assessment blueprints can also be used to guide the development of new assessments where suitable third-party assessments do not exist.
