Assessments / Components of a Balanced Assessment System

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
A balanced approach to assessment includes a variety of tools and strategies that are varied, reliable, and provide sufficient measures of student learning. These happen throughout the learning process and should include a student reflection component. Teachers need to know what students know and can do in order to provide effective instruction. Therefore, balanced assessment programs must include both formal and informal opportunities for students to demonstrate their current levels of mastery.
A balanced assessment system encompasses several layers of assessment. At the district level, this reflects a continuum of assessment tools whose data correlate and measure all dimensions of student learning rather than looking at one domain.
At the school or grade level, balance requires the use of multiple measures to gain a big picture view of student performance in order to monitor the progress of a class or cohort of students.
At the instructor level, balanced assessments are used to form instructional groups, identify interventions needed, monitor progress, determine specific learning needs of each student, and provide opportunities for students to self-assess and reflect on their learning. Both formal and informal measures are used to guide decision-making. Critical Components Variety of assessments
Constructive and specific feedback is given regularly to all students.
All components fit together to provide a learner profile.
Data collection occurs regularly within the classroom – progress of learners is monitored frequently.
Individual and aggregated assessment data is made accessible to both teachers and administrators.
Analysis or interpretation of data is performed regularly through a process of inquiry.
Data is used to guide daily instruction, make changes to the curriculum, and guide program development.
Students have an integral role in the assessment process as they reflect on their progress and set personal goals for the next step in their learning.

Interested in assisting with test development work for our state assessments? Each year, typically in January, the Georgia Department of Education seeks nominations of highly-qualified educators to participate in test development activities. Test development meetings are held annually, usually during the summer months, for the Georgia Milestones Assessment System and Georgia Alternate Assessment 2.0 (GAA 2.0). As necessary, meetings may also be held for the Georgia Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (GKIDS 2.0). Please complete this form to let us know your interest in test development activities. We will notify your school district of your interest so you may be considered during the next call for nominations. You must be employed by a Georgia public school district or a state charter school district to be eligible for nomination. Please note that submission of this form does not guarantee nomination by your district or selection to attend a test development event. Below is a description of the test development meetings that typically occur. Rangefinding (Georgia Milestones ELA only; occurs annually) - Participants review sets of student responses from recently field tested constructed‐response items, assess rubric effectiveness, and recommend anchor papers to be used in handscoring.Item & Data Review (occurs annually) - Item Review participants review newly developed test items for content, bias, sensitivity, depth of knowledge, and alignment to Georgia’s state‐adopted content standards. Items accepted by the committee are field tested on a future assessment. Once Item Review is complete, the committees will continue to participate in Data Review. During Data Review, select items that have been previously field tested are reviewed and a decision is made regarding acceptance for continued use. Items selected for this review have met specific statistical criteria for performance, thus requiring further review.Braille Item Review (occurs as needed) - Participants review test items to ensure appropriateness for inclusion on braille versions of test forms. Video Sign Language Review (occurs as needed) - Participants will review videos to ensure test items are presented correctly for students who require American Sign Language as an accommodation.Blueprint and Achievement Level Descriptor Review (occurs as needed) - When a new assessment is developed or an existing assessment is significantly revised (such as when new content standards are adopted) participants review test blueprints and achievement level descriptors.Standard Setting (occurs as needed) - Following the first administration of a new or significantly revised assessment (such as when new content standards are adopted) participants follow an iterative standard setting process to recommend cut scores for each achievement level of the assessment.
