A quality assessment tool is one that accurately measures what it is intended to measure, provides consistent results, and is fair to all students regardless of their background. The key elements that contribute to the quality of an assessment tool are validity, reliability, and the minimization of bias. How do you ensure the tools you are using to assess your students meets all of these requirements?

Generally, the tools are selected by administrators, but I seek feedback from colleagues and use data analysis to ensure that the results accurately reflect student learning and progress.
