For the 2012-2013 school year, my students will make measurable progress in making inferences

during reading. On the 11th Grade Inference Test:

• Each student will improve by at least one performance category

• 80% of my students will score proficient (Level 3)

Performance Categories:0-25% Level 1 26-50% Level 2 51-75% Level 3 76-100% Level 4

• Is this assessment congruent to the standards?• What do the performance categories tell me about

the students’ skill level?• What would I learn from the multiple choice test

that would help me design instruction?• If my students need to cite and explain in order to

demonstrate mastery of the standard, what would be the best target-method match for this enduring skill?

• Do the texts from the MC test meet the text complexity guidelines from KCAS?

• If I am looking at inferencing, am I going to address RI and RL 1?

Designing a Better Assessment

• What types of inferences do I want the students to make?

• What type of texts will I use?• How will the students cite

their evidence?• How will the students explain

the inferences they draw?• How will they address

ambiguous matters?

LDC TASK SAMPLE

[What is the basis of just government?] After reading excerpts from Common Sense by Thomas Paine, write an essay in which you describe a just government. Support your discussion with evidence from the text. D5: Identify any gaps or unanswered questions. D8: Include citations.

Scoring Criteria

How am I going to score the students in terms of their ability to make inferences based upon the language of the standard?

How am I going to involve the students so that I can gain additional information to aid them in mastering the goal?

Some ELA Factors to Consider

• Complexity of Texts (3 measures)• Quality of Texts • Text Dependent and Text Specific Questions• Congruent to the Standard• Writing from Sources• Writing Type reflects that in the Standard
