Validity for My State

Orientation to the quiz

This quiz is a tool to help you identify your state’s priorities for ELPA validity evaluation. Working through the quiz will help you identify particular areas of the ELPA system your state would like to evaluate, or specific concerns you would like to address. The quiz will orient you to the EVEA Common Interpretive Argument, where you will find specific claims your state may wish to investigate, and information about evaluating those claims.

Although finite time and resources will limit the scope of each state’s validity evaluation research agenda each year, please note that it is important to investigate all parts of the assessment system. This tool will help you to identify which areas your state may wish to investigate and help direct you to the relevant resources on this website.
