Description¶

The report's stated forward-looking plan is to "integrate Puerto Rico into the national sample in future administrations" of NAEP, building on the 2003 and 2005 Spanish-language trial assessments and the statistical work on translation, administration, item misfit, and validity. This represents the operational end goal of the trial program described in the report.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Trial assessments in 2003 and 2005 to establish administration and translation procedures
• Resolution of item misfit problems identified in the 2003 data

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• Public school students in grades 4 and 8 in Puerto Rico

Target Learning Goals¶

• Mathematics achievement measurement in Spanish

Related Strategies¶

• Adapt translated assessments to the target jurisdiction's linguistic and cultural characteristics, and revise administration scripts and timing to fit test-takers unfamiliar with the format.
