task quality

The purpose of this protocol is to ensure assessments have technical quality. This protocol can be used with performance assessments as well as traditional assessments. When we share our assessments with our colleagues, we are more likely to uncover our blind spots and assumptions.

This document, created for the Common Assignment Study project by the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity (SCALE), lists and explains the criteria of a quality LDC task, including task clarity and coherence, content, texts, and the writing product.
