New vs. Existing Frameworks

New vs. Existing Frameworks

• For new frameworks

• Create all new items
• More than 4 years from development to implementation

• For existing frameworks

• Ongoing development for replacement blocks (3 per assessment per grade)
• Nearly 3 years from development to implementation

• For both types of frameworks

• More than 300 people involved in each assessment
• Twice the number of items needed are created for paper and pencil items

Notes:

What will be described to you is the “replacement items process” for existing assessment frameworks. There also is a protocol for developing items associated with new frameworks. For both new and existing frameworks there are numerous people involved with development and review work.
