Sensitivity of Cross-State Assessment Item Difficulty to Differences in State Curricular Content Standards
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Traynor, Anne – Applied Measurement in Education, 2017
It has long been argued that U.S. states' differential performance on nationwide assessments may reflect differences in students' opportunity to learn the tested content that is primarily due to variation in curricular content standards, rather than in instructional quality or educational investment. To quantify the effect of differences in…

Does Test Item Performance Increase with Test-to-Standards Alignment?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Traynor, Anne – Educational Assessment, 2017
Variation in test performance among examinees from different regions or national jurisdictions is often partially attributed to differences in the degree of content correspondence between local school or training program curricula, and the test of interest. This posited relationship between test-curriculum correspondence, or "alignment,"…

The Relationship between State High School Exit Exams and Mathematical Proficiency: Analyses of the Complexity, Content, and Format of Items and Assessment Protocols
Direct linkDirect link
Regan, Blake B. – ProQuest LLC, 2012
This study examined the relationship between high school exit exams and mathematical proficiency. With the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act requiring all students to be proficient in mathematics by 2014, it is imperative that high-stakes assessments accurately evaluate all aspects of student achievement, appropriately set the yardstick by which…

McClellan, Catherine; Joe, Jilliam; Bassett, Katherine – National Network of State Teachers of the Year, 2016
As part of state transitions to college- and career-ready (CCR) standards, including the Common Core State Standards in more than 40 states (NGA & CCSSO, 2010), states are for the first time administering new summative assessments aligned to those standards and aiming for a higher bar in assessment quality. For a majority of states, this means…
