The Assessment Anchors, as defined by the Eligible Content, are one of the many tools the Department believes will better align curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices throughout the Commonwealth. Without this alignment, it will not be possible to significantly improve student achievement across the Commonwealth.  \nHow were Keystone Exam Assessment Anchors developed?  \nPrior to the development of the Assessment Anchors, multiple groups of PA educators convened to create a set of standards for each of the Keystone Exams. Enhanced Standards, derived from a review of existing standards, focused on what students need to know and be able to do in order to be college and career ready.(Note: Since that time, PA Core Standards have replaced the Enhanced Standards and reflect the collegeand career-ready focus.) Additionally, the Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content statements were created by other groups of educators charged with the task of clarifying the standards assessed on the Keystone Exams. The Assessment Anchors, as defined by the Eligible Content, have been designed to hold together, or anchor, the state assessment system and the curriculum/instructional practices in schools.  \nAssessment Anchors, as defined by the Eligible Content, were created with the following design parameters:  \n􀂾 Clear: The Assessment Anchors are easy to read and are user friendly; they clearly detail which standards are assessed on the Keystone Exams.  \n􀂾 Focused: The Assessment Anchors identify a core set of standards that can be reasonably  \nassessed on a large-scale assessment; this will keep educators from having to guess which standards are critical.  \n􀂾 Rigorous: The Assessment Anchors support the rigor of the state standards by assessing higherorder and reasoning skills.  \n􀂾 Manageable: The Assessment Anchors define the standards in a way that can be easily incorporated into a course to prepare students for success.  \nHow can teachers, administrators, schools, and districts use these Assessment Anchors?  \nThe Assessment Anchors, as defined by the Eligible Content, can help focus teaching and learning because they are clear, manageable, and closely aligned with the Keystone Exams. Teachers and administrators will be better informed about which standards will be assessed. The Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content should be used along with the Standards and the Curriculum Framework of the Standards Aligned System (SAS) to build curriculum, design lessons, and support student achievement.  \nThe Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content are designed to enable educators to determine when they feel students are prepared to be successful in the Keystone Exams. An evaluation of current course offerings, through the lens of what is assessed on those particular Keystone Exams, may provide an opportunity for an alignment to ensure student preparedness.  \nPennsylvania Department of Education—Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content Page 2  \nHow are the Assessment Anchors organized?  \nThe Assessment Anchors, as defined by the Eligible Content, are organized into cohesive blueprints, each structured with a common labeling system that can be read like an outline. This framework is organized first by module, then by Assessment Anchor, followed by Anchor Descriptor, and then finally, at the greatest level of detail, by an Eligible Content statement.
