Vertically Articulated Standards across Grades

Assistant: Hua Wei

In this project, the logic and procedures for setting vertically articulated standards across grades is going to be reviewed. A predicting equation is going to be built that relates the percentages of students classified in different achievement levels at each grade on the MSA to other information about the cohort such as the percentages of achievement categories on nation-wide assessments. The same equation is applied to other grades to investigate whether the criteria of consistency and articulation have been satisfied.
