Standards in the Education Sector
• Content Standards
• Performance Standards
• Data Standards
• Interoperability Standards
Content Standards
• Definition of the knowledge, skills, and abilities students are expected to develop
• State specific
• Common Core
Performance Standards
• Level at which students are expected to develop mastery of content standards
• State-developed summative assessments are one tool used to measure achievement of performance standards
• Consortia developed assessment programs will be used to measure achievement of Common Core standards
Data Standards
• Data Standards are documented agreements on representations, formats, and definitions of common data. Data standards improve the quality and share-ability of data by:– Increasing data compatibility – Improving the consistency and efficiency of data
collection – Reducing data redundancy
Data Standards
• Variable Names
• Expected values/content type
• Example:– Topic: Gender– Variable Name: Gen– Value: 0 = Female, 1=Male
Data Standard Applied – Topic: Gender
• Database 1:– Variable Name: Gender– Value: M = Male, F = Female
• Database 2:– Variable Name: Sex– Value: 1=Male, 2=Female
• Export Conversion– DB 1: Gender = Gen, M=0, F=1– DB 2: Sex = Gen, 1=0, 2=1
• Import Conversion– DB 1: Gen = Gender, 0=M, 1=F– DB 2: Gen = Sex, 0=1, 1=2

Commonly Used Educational Data Standards
Interoperability Standards
• Interoperability is the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort on the part of the customer.
Interoperable Assessments
• Require Commonly Understood:– File format for item content– Codes/tags for item content– Representation of and interactions with content – Scoring rules

Available Assessment and Accessibility Interoperability Standards
Interoperability & Data Standards for Assessment
• Interoperability standards required for:– Item content file format, presentation of that content,
interactions with the content, and scoring of responses
• Data Standards required for:– Information about items (e.g., what they measure,
parameters)– Information about students (e.g., identification,
demographics, access needs)– Recording results

Status of APIP
• Final Technical Documents Released March 2011
• APIP passed to IMS for maintenance and implementation support
• IMS APIP Work Group– ETS, Pearson, CTB, Measured Progress– SBAC and PARCC invited and strongly encouraged to join
• ATP APIP Study Group
• State RFPs reference or require APIP
• Implementation launched by MN and test industry
Next Steps
• Establish touch points between APIP and SIF Student Data Standards
• Incorporate APIP PNP in Common Education Data Standards
• Develop business rules and best practices for applying APIP accessibility tags
• Modify or develop APIP compliant item authoring systems and test delivery systems
Next Steps
• Continue Educating leaders and educators about APIP and Accessibility Profiles
• Develop tools to assist in creating sound Personal Needs Profiles
• Adopt APIP prior to development of RttTA item content
