During this workshop, participants will analyze a selected math standard and design a test that measures understanding as specified in the standard. Participants will construct a variety of item types, and a corresponding answer key with rubrics. The participant will design the test blueprint, identifying when, where, why and how the test will be used in the curriculum.

• Lack of alignment between classroom assessments format and expectations
  
  
• Inconsistent assessment design that lacks validity, reliability, or alignment with standards
  
  
• Limited teacher capacity in writing items that measure conceptual understanding, procedural skills, and real-world application

1. Assessment Design and Alignment: Teachers will learn to construct items that are aligned to both content and practice standards, ensuring consistency in measuring student understanding across all three levels—conceptual, procedural, and application.
   
   
2. Item Type Mastery: Participants will develop the skills to analylze more and think creatively
   
   
3. Blueprint Development and Instructional Integration: Educators will gain strategies to design full assessments and blueprints that integrate seamlessly into their curriculum, enabling data-informed instructional planning and intervention based on assessment outcomes
