This report details the development of a learning progression for the understanding of fractions. The intended use of the learning progression is to support formative assessment practices for children as they receive instruction during elementary school. The validity of the learning progression is evaluated by mapping its levels to vertically scaled test items answered by students taking Curriculum Associates' i-Ready Diagnostic Assessment. It is shown that there is a significant moderate correlation between the levels of the learning progression and the difficulty of the test items associated with each level.

This document presents a set of classroom assessment principles intended as a resource for practitioners, especially school leaders and district and state policymakers. Together these principles articulate a shared vision for effective classroom assessment practices. The key ideas guiding this vision come directly from learning sciences research and the research literatures on motivation and assessment. They explain how classroom assessment can best be enacted to support teaching and learning. An initial draft of these classroom assessment principles was developed in preparation for the NCME Special Conference on Classroom Assessment held at the �鶹ӰԺ, September 18-19, 2019.

Abstract:

This paper outlines development of the Modeling Energy Flows Learning Progression and key indicators for each level of the learning progression. This learning progression is designed to directly support three-dimensional science learning by integrating the crosscutting concept of energy in systems and the science practice of modeling at each level. These two-dimensional levels can then be integrated with individual disciplinary core ideas. In this paper, we describe the foundational literature that informed development of the learning progression, the individual levels, and key indicators that mark transition points between levels. The learning progression is designed for use across scientific disciplines, but is also specific enough to support instructional coherence within disciplines. We posit that learning progressions that are designed in this way can serve to support systems of assessment, instruction, and professional development across multiple grade levels and disciplines.

By the ASPIRE Research Team. This paper outlines development of the Modeling Energy Flows Learning Progression and key indicators for each level of the learning progression. This learning progression is designed to directly support three-dimensional science learning by integrating the crosscutting concept of energy in systems and the science practice of modeling at each level.
