The ART of Assessment Reporting
-Assessment reports should be understandable
Actionable
and usable by intended audience. Users should
be able to make informed decisions and take
action toward achieving the desired outcome.
-Different tests measure different constructs.
Relevant
Timely
Know the context and limitation of the test before
generalizing results. Tailor reports to user’s
needs, since not all users benefit from the same
level of details.
-Reports should be available and accessed in a
timely manner so that data can be meaningful.
This is especially critical for short-cycle formative
assessments.
