The success of standards-based education systems depends on two
elements: strong standards and assessments that measure what the
standards expect. States that have, or adopt, test-based
accountability programs claim that their tests are aligned to their
standards. But there has been, up to now, no independent
methodology for checking alignment. This paper describes and
illustrates such a methodology and reports results on a sample of
state tests. The protocol reviewers use to analyze alignment
considers four dimensions to be central in determining the degree
of alignment between an assessment and standards: (1) content
centrality; (2) performance centrality; (3) challenge; and (4)
balance and .range. This Achieve alignment protocol has been
applied to the tests of more than 10 states, but for this study,
data from 5 states are used. In general, individual test items are
reasonably well- matched to the standards they are meant to assess.
However, the collection of such-items in a test tend to measure
only a few of the less challenging standards and objectives. As a
result, few state tests can be said to be well- aligned assessments
of challenging standards. (Contains 2 tables, 11 figures, and 8
references.) (Author/SLD).
