Writing
• Narrative
• Informational
• Opinion (Early)
Argumentative
Evidence-Centered Design
• State the claims to be made about the
test-takers. These claims serve as the
foundation for item specifications
• Decide the evidence required to support
the claims- very specific evidence
• Develop and administer test items that
provide the required evidence—linked to
the anchor standards-the college and
career piece
Performance Tasks
• Application of knowledge and skills in
response to real-world problems
• Collections of questions and activities
linked to a scenario or a single theme
• Measurement of depth of
understanding, research skills and
complex analysis
