Wi liamsSTAR Math EnterpriseIn the landmark report, Knowing What Students Know, the authors establish learning progressions as thefoundation for assessment. Specifically, the authors state, “models of student progression in learning shouldunderlie the assessment system, and tests should be designed to provide information that maps back to theprogression” (Pellegrino, Chudowsky, and Glaser, 2001, p. 256).In a 2011 paper, Pellegrino, one of the report’s authors, suggested that learning progressions can guidethe specification of learning performances, which in turn can guide the development of tasks that enableeducators to infer students’ level of competence for the major constructs that are the target of instruction andassessment. If assessments are developed from a progression, they can provide a continuous source ofevidence as student learning evolves toward increasingly sophisticated levels of understanding and skills.Because of the strong statistical correlation between STAR Math Enterprise and Core Progress, students’scaled scores (from STAR Math Enterprise) are their entry point into the learning progression, enablingresearch-based inferences about which skills they have likely already developed, which skills are ready to bedeveloped, which skills and understandings need remediation, and which skills will likely develop soon. Thinkof a student’s STAR Math Enterprise score as the entry point into the learning progression.
