A few weeks ago the Joint Legislative Task Force on WASL Reform had a meeting in Renton where the future of testing was the #1 topic of discussion. Superintendents from Vancouver and Richland gave presentations on how their districts use the MAP assessment from the NWEA, and it sounds like the legislators were very open to the idea of giving that test more play.
That would be great for us here in Medical Lake, since we've been using the MAP effectively for years; I'll let you know when I hear more!
Also, check out this article from Education Week on computerized adaptive testing, which is what the MAP is. It's a good overview of what goes in to constructing those sorts of tests.
