Assessment Updates: Reports and Dates

Assessment Reports

State Assessment Reports for the 2010-11 school year are now available down to the classroom/teacher level. The state reports you received previously have data reported at the national, state and school level.

To request non-identifiable 2010-11 End of Course (EoC) Assessment data down to the teacher level, email Krista Poch (kpoch AT pltw DOT org).

Assessment Resources
The following resources for teachers are posted to the PLTW Extranet:

• 2011-12 Part A and Part C Concept Maps for all courses
• PLTW IEP Accommodation Form
• PLTW Online Technical Specifications
• PLTW EoC Assessment Rules and Guidelines

We encourage teachers to review these documents and contact the Assessment Team (assessment AT pltw DOT org) with any questions.
