Writing Assessment

Dear Grad Students,

SO, on a snowy-spring break morning, I found this really interesting link to a writing assessment from the state of Oregon's Literacy Framework. 

http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/subjects/elarts/writing/writing-framework-assessment.pdf

It's a 70 page document about K-12 writing assessment with focuses on formative and summative assessments from multiple data sources. 

One of the interesting ideas in this document is that
"unlike reading assessments that have been clearly designed for four specific purposes – to screen students for reading difficulties, to monitor students’ progress toward the achievement of grade-level reading goals, to diagnose specific reading difficulties for the purposes of developing and implementing individualized interventions, and to determine whether or not students have met grade-level reading goals – the distinction between types of available writing assessments is not as clear. "

You should really check out this assessment because we are going to be looking at it in class! 

See you soon!
