1 Educational Innovation July, 201 Dear Educators, On behalf of all of MCESA, we are excited that you are using our content specific assessments in your school or district. We sincerely hope that the assessments help you to measure student achievement and provide useful information about student learning. Attached are the item specifications that accompany each particular assessment. These item specifications can serve as a useful tool for curriculum mapping activities. To support your use of items specifications, we have a few important points to consider. The item specifications were written for a very specific audience and purpose. They serve as a bridge between the standards and the assessment. The item specifications define for test writers what counts as testable content from the standards. They delineate what could appear on a test or what should not appear on a test. Item writers used the item specifications to write test items. The specifications may use i.e. or e.g. when listing testable content. E.g. means that these things are eligible to be included on the assessment, but the test writer is not limited to them. They are examples. I.e. means that the test content is limited to only those items listed. Although the item specifications show that certain standards are not addressed on the MCESA content specific (multiple choice) assessment, this does not mean that teachers are not responsible for teaching those standards. Teachers are responsible for teaching all of the state standards. For more information about how to use item specifications, please refer to the MCESA Assessment webpage for webcasts that explain in detail the assessment development process and the use of item specifications. Also look for announcements about face-to-face workshops related to instruction or assessment use. Sincerely, MCESA Assessment Department 4041 N. Central Avenue, Ste. 1100, Phoenix AZ Phone Fax Known as experts. Renowned for service.
