Classroom Assessment Standards

Module Overview

In this digital ITEMS module, Dr. Caroline Wylie reviews the Classroom Assessment Standards developed under the auspices of the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation and briefly contrasts their role with the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (2014) issued by APA, AERA, and NCME, which are commonly used to inform quality metrics for high stakes and large-scale assessments. She includes details on the three categories of standards: (1) Foundations (these six standards provide the basis for developing and implementing sound and fair classroom assessment); (2) Use (these five standards follow a logical progression from the selection and development of classroom assessments to the communication of the assessment results); and (3) Quality (these five standards guide teachers in providing accurate, reliable, and fair classroom assessment results for all students). The module contains audio-narrated slides, reflection questions, and a set of resources to support application of the Classroom Assessment Standards to classroom assessments within teams of teachers and/or curriculum and assessment developers.
