 * Assessment Literacy and Designing Quality Classroom Assessment Items**

In response to the January workshop on designing quality assessments with Karen Bailey, we are pleased to have her lead this two-day Institute. Across the nation, educators are identifying the utility of interim formative assessments and improved classroom assessment practices as an appropriate step in school improvement. Building assessment literacy has never been a more appropriate professional goal. The two-day opportunity will build on our assessment literacy and provide immediate coaching/feedback from Karen, in creating high quality classroom assessments. This highly interactive, two day work session provides educators with an opportunity to explore the power of quality classroom assessment items as a tool for both assessing student understanding of standards and for targeted, student-specific differentiation. Participants will also learn the key components of test item construction as it relates to quality, clarity, bias, and student feedback by designing and sharing newly created selected response and constructed response items. Audience: Effective Teams will consists of 6-10 middle school teachers with an administrator, supervisor, or teacher leader, with a focus on a single grade level and either ELA or Math.
