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.
