QUESTIONS
Is each assessment item aligned with the standard you intend to teach and measure?
Does the level of rigor of each assessment item match the level of rigor of the skill you
intend to measure?
Does the assessment measure a range of student thinking and understanding so that it
measures what all students know and can do?
Are all items well formatted?
Are the instructions for the assessment and each assessment item precise so that
students understand where and how to address the item?
Are all assessment items free of typos and factual errors?
Does the assessment and each assessment item have all of the information that students
will need to demonstrate their knowledge and skills?
Does the assessment and each assessment item indicate how many points each
assessment item is worth (if relevant) and how much time students have to complete their
work?
For multiple-choice items, is the prompt framed in the positive? Are the choices consistent
in form, content and length? Are they ordered in a logical sequence? Are they all
plausible?
For performance tasks and portfolio assessments, have you considered the “what, who,
how and when” factors (if applicable)?
Did you ensure that each assessment item does not provide an advantage or
disadvantage to any group of students because of their personal characteristics, such as
race, gender, socioeconomic status or religion?
Have you developed a well-designed answer key(s), scoring guide(s) and/or rubric(s), as
appropriate?
Do your answer keys and scoring guides include rationales for why choices are correct or
incorrect? Do they include exemplar answers (if applicable)?
Are the dimensions in your rubric aligned to the standard(s) you will assess? Are they
distinct from one another?
Does each descriptor in your rubric include a precise description of student performance
for a particular dimension and performance level? Is each descriptor discrete from the
descriptor in the performance level before and after it?
HISD GLOBAL GRADUATE
Are all teachers who are scoring your assessment using the same criteria?
