@cdepascale It was great to see you in Philly, Charlie!

My suitcase is unpacked. The second load of laundry is in the washer. It’s time to reflect on my future and my five days in Philadelphia. charliedepascale.blog/2024/04/16/fee…

Comparability is only needed at the level of the annual achievement determinations, not scale scores. Thrilled to see these clarifications related to comparability from @usedgov

@lillianpace @usedgov @knowledgeworks @NCIEA1 @CIEleadlearning @Aurora_Inst @EnvisionSchools @GreatSchoolsP @TranscendBuilds @MastTranscript @bigpiclearning @LCCollaborative 2. Alignment evidence can be brought to bear to support comparability

Great summary by @s_e_schwartz @educationweek of the terrific work of my colleagues @erika_landl, @susanclyons, & @EdReports to create criteria for evaluation interim assessments. lnkd.in/e9-WP5Hz @NCIEA1 @NCME38

We put out a lot of really good blogs nciea.org/blog/ here at @NCIEA1, but this post by @cdomaleski is really important and timely! @Edu_Historian @NEPCtweet @ScottNorton1001 @cgewertz @CMoffatMiller @DerekCBriggs @susanclyons @susandpatrick nciea.org/blog/its-time-…

What does it look like to make big decisions about school systems hand-in-hand with the people most impacted by them? @CIEleadlearning @JDPoon and @pkl670 share 4 lessons on "co-creation" from supporting @UnitedWeLearnKY and @BTVSchools bit.ly/road-signs-new…

@CaraLaitusis @DTWillingham @ScottFMarion @DerekCBriggs @ecwylie @AndrewDeanHo Yes, and scaling decisions and testing artifacts can also play a role here — some tests makers or test takers may have an incentive to maximize the appearance of within year growth, which would lead to inflated summer loss

@DTWillingham The replication of the phrase “on some tests but not on others” (in the abstract) has me wondering about the match between test construct, test purpose, and instructional goals. Thanks for sharing, added to my reading list. @ScottFMarion @DerekCBriggs @ecwylie @AndrewDeanHo

Did you know that data on "summer slide" (and inequality of summer loss) often fail to replicate? I don't think anyone has a good handle on this sociologicalscience.com/articles-v10-8…

Happy holidays! Introducing RTutor.ai, an AI-powered app that lets you chat with your data in English! RTutor uses Davinci (#ChatGPT’s sibling) to turn requests into R code, which is executed & results are shown instantly, available as a HTML report in seconds. 1/8

@WilliamLorie @Teach_Jennifer @sandy_student It had included rows in the rubric for that... told it to stick to the standards :)

This morning I gave ChatGPT @Teach_Jennifer's criteria for an anti-racist assessment and @sandy_student's definition of a performance task and asked it to create an anti-racist performance task that assesses 8th grade common core math standards. Take a look, how'd it do?
