1. Task Design and Results

2.  Understand why the county developed ELA tasks in grades 3,7, and 10  Learn the steps or questions used in designing extended response tasks  Learn about the results from the three assessments  Consider the implications of the results

3.  Why give a countywide extended response task ◦ Driven by the requests by county superintendents  To know what professional learning we need  To know what student supports are needed

4.  Design blueprint questions ◦ What will tasks using this design pattern assess? ◦ What assessment standards are appropriate? ◦ What knowledge, skills, or other attributes will be assessed? ◦ What tasks should elicit those behaviors? ◦ What will students do to reveal the knowledge, skills, or attributes we are assessing?  What will students create?  How will we observe their products?  How will products be scored?

5.  Take a look at one of the 3 countywide tasks and discuss with your neighbor… Did the countywide task meet the design requirements?
