3. Today’s Learning Targets
0. Preliminary Slides
Today’s Learning Targets
I can deconstruct my content standards into student-friendly language.
I can select the appropriate method to assess specific learning targets.
I can create an assessment blueprint.
I understand that part of this process is building relationships within and across districts for the purpose of deepening my knowledge of assessment literacy and building my own support network.
Make sure to go over each learning target with the group. And mention that each agenda item is linked with each LT. The next slide is Introduction and Welcome. Once all 4 learning targets are shown, if you hit the next button, LT 2 & 4 will be starred because they are directly linked with welcome and introduction. Make sure to state that.

Test Blueprint for Claire’s Math
Learning Target
Item #s
# of Points
Identifies number patterns with multiplication 3 5
Reads, writes, orders, and compares numbers to 10,000
4, 6, 7, 11 15
Subtracts whole numbers using regrouping
5, 10 2
Represents multiplication as repeated addition 8
Constructs bar graphs 9 4
Uses standard units of measurement for length, weight, temperature, and capacity
12, 13, 14 6
Tells time with an analog clock 1
Writes fractions to match models 1 3
Solves problems with addition 2
Notice here that the learning targets have been organized so that we can see how many points each contributes to the whole. Briefly explain how the first two rows of the test plan are set up. Then show the rest of the chart, but don’t discuss it. Note: The first two rows animate separately and then the rest of the chart animates all together. The important thing here is that participants understand where the numbers in the two right-hand columns came from.
