Performance Categories:0-25% Level 1 26-50% Level 2 51-75% Level 3 76-100% Level 4 For the 2012-2013 school year, my students will make measurable progress in making inferences during reading. On the 11th Grade Inference Test: • Each student will improve by at least one performance category • 80% of my students will score proficient (Level 3) Training Materials/Examples not Exemplars

Is this assessment congruent to the standards? • What do the performance categories tell me about the students’ skill level? • What would I learn from the multiple choice test that would help me design instruction? • If my students need to cite and explain in order to demonstrate mastery of the standard, what would be the best target-method match for this enduring skill? • Do the texts from the MC test meet the text complexity guidelines from KCAS? • If I am looking at inferencing, am I going to address RI and RL 1?
Designing a Better Assessment • What types of inferences do I want the students to make? • What type of texts will I use? • How will the students cite their evidence? • How will the students explain the inferences they draw? • How will they address ambiguous matters?

Scoring Criteria How am I going to score the students in terms of their ability to make inferences based upon the language of the standard? How am I going to involve the students so that I can gain additional information to aid them in mastering the goal?
