Transition Planning for Next-Generation Assessments

This resource is a seven-page checklist for helping states plan and implement technology-based assessments. Users of this guide should be sure to read its companion piece, Considerations for Next-Generation Assessments: A Roadmap to 2014.

Content Comments

This checklist supports its companion publication nicely. The contents of both publications are aligned effectively. Communications quality is good, although a short introductory statement that links to the longer, more explanatory publication would have been a helpful addition. Both resources will likely be more useful to states that have not fully implemented online assessments.
