D.  \nJilliam Joe, Ph. D.  \nKatherine Bassett, M. Ed.  \nNovember 2015  \nWe at the National Network of State Teachers of the Year (NNSTOY) are delighted to share with you the latest in our series of Research Reports.  \nIn this report, we focus on the important issue of assessing our students’ learning through standardized, summative assessments. Utilizing research-based methodologies and practices including Evidence Centered Design, Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, and survey instruments designed for this study, we convened two panels to examine six assessment instruments. Each study panel was composed of State and National Teachers of the Year and Finalists for State Teacher of the Year. Each panel examined three assessments: two assessments given by states before switching to new state assessments developed by the PARCC and Smarter Balanced assessment consortia and one consortia assessment.  \nWorking with our study partners, EducationCounsel on the policy side and Clowder Consulting on the science end, we are eager to share our findings. In short, participating teachers viewed state movement to the new consortia assessments as a positive step forward, specifically:  \n1. The new consortia assessments better reflect the range of reading and math knowledge and skills that all students should master.  \n2. The new consortia assessments include items that better reflect the full range of cognitive complexity in a balanced way.  \n3. The new consortia assessments better align with the kinds of strong instructional practices these expert teachers believe should be used in the classroom, and thereby better support great teaching and learning throughout the school year.  \n4. The new consortia assessments provide information relevant to a wide range of performers, particularly moderate and high-performers.  \n5. While the new consortia assessments are more rigorous and demanding, they are grade-level appropriate, and even more so than prior state tests.  \nThough they noted areas for continuous improvement, these same teachers also felt that educators and policymakers should focus together on the work ahead – to transform teaching and learning so that all students have the opportunity to master the knowledge and skills necessary for success in college, career, and life.  \nAt NNSTOY, we believe that educators should always be at the table when education policy is being crafted, debated, or modified. As professionals, we know the most about what is likely to directly impact students and the work in the classroom, both positively and negatively.  \nWe are excited to share this paper with you and look forward to working with you in bringing the voice of educators to the policy process.  \nWith warm regards,  \nKatherine Bassett, Chief Executive Officer, NNSTOY  \nAcknowledgements  \nNNSTOY wishes to thank the following individuals and groups for their support and contributions to this project: Our Partners  \nOur partner in this work, EducationCounsel, specifically Mr. Scott Palmer, Ms. Bethany Little, Ms. Terri Taylor, and Mr. Nick Spiva for their commitment to learning what a group of outstanding educators thought about the trajectory that we are taking in moving to new state assessments. Their guidance, policy expertise, and assistance with access to the assessments studied was invaluable, as was their overall collaboration.  \nOur science partner in this work, Clowder Consulting.
