Apply technology to facilitate the use of effective assessment and evaluation strategies in teaching. You will examine software tools which use the Selected Response assessment format. 2. With the assistance of technology, accurately measure student achievement of, and progress toward, learning objectives using a variety of formal and informal assessments. Reflection The Table of Specifications helped me organize my method of assessment and to align the lesson with state standards.

I will use strategies like the Table of Specification in the future to implement the most effective practices of assessments and student achievement. Five Standards of Assessment Quality
