Title:

Aligning Assessment to Guide the Learning of All Students: Six Reports on the Development, Refinement, and Dissemination of the Web Alignment Tool

Description:

This publication represents the work of a 16-state collaborative and is intended to empower state and district practitioners in the use of an automated, online alignment system. Building on prior work done by Council of Chief State School Officers in the understanding and use of alignment systems in K-12 education, this collection of six reports describes the development of an electronic, automated alignment analysis tool, and how to extend this tool to alternate assessment and English language development assessments.

The individual reports are: The Web Alignment Tool: Development, Refinement, and Dissemination by Norman L. Webb, Meredith Alt, Rob Ely, Maria Cormier, & Brian Vesperman; Alignment of Alternate Assessments Using the Webb System by Gerald Tindal; Assessing Vertical Alignment by Lauress Wise and Meredith Alt; Vertical Alignment of Grade-Level Expectations for Student Achievement by Lauress L. Wise, Liru Zhang, Phoebe Winter, Leslie Taylor, and D. E. (Sunny) Becker; Aligning English Language Proficiency Tests to English Language Learning Standards by H. Gary Cook; and Developing Aligned Performance Level Descriptors for the English Language Development Assessment K-2 Inventories by María H. Malagón, Marjorie B. Rosenberg and Phoebe C. Winter
