Regional Pre and Post Test Development for Global History I (Grade 9)<br />
Based on the New Framework for Social Studies<br />
How can we ensure a reliable and valid pre- and post-test for the new Global I course?<br />
This is a two-year project based on the new NYS Framework for Social Studies. A regional test for Global I<br />
is strongly recommended by NYSED since there will be no Regents for this required course. Many teachers<br />
will need a pre- and post-test for their SLO.<br />
YEAR I <strong>2013</strong>-2014<br />
Fall/Winter: Development of the pre-test (depending on Board of Regents adoption of the curriculum and<br />
roll out) (3 days)<br />
• Review new Social Studies Framework for Grade 9 and the Common Core connection<br />
• Design the multiple choice and writing components of the pre-test aligned with the standards, key<br />
ideas, skills, and Common Core<br />
Early Spring: Develop post-test (2 days)<br />
YEAR II 2014-2015<br />
The second year of the project (dates and cost to be determined) would ask teachers to administer the<br />
pre-test in their districts and then return to BOCES to analyze their data and revise the pre- and posttests<br />
if necessary.<br />
