Assessment TOSA

Strong response indicators: Starts with the intended learning and assessment purpose, examines student work and patterns with teachers, checks alternative explanations, identifies a focused response, and schedules a short follow-up assessment tied to the same learning goal.

Strong response indicators: Identifies the relevant student population and dates, compares approved source records, documents specific exceptions securely, routes corrections to authorized owners, and verifies the corrected roster without independently changing eligibility or program determinations.

Strong response indicators: Consults current official program guidance and designated district coordinators, distinguishes local practice from current requirements, records the applicable version and owner, and updates working procedures rather than relying on a legacy checklist.

Strong response indicators: Coordinates a practical calendar, staffing and technology dependencies, role-specific training, approved accessibility supports, secure materials, and contingency plans; communicates clearly and minimizes avoidable disruption to teaching and learning.

Strong response indicators: Clarifies the decision being made, explains what the assessment can and cannot show, seeks additional appropriate evidence, avoids labeling students from a single result, and supports an instructional decision with visible limitations.

Strong response indicators: Creates a respectful inquiry process, checks comparability and learning opportunities, examines tasks and student work, invites teacher explanations, avoids blame and unsupported causal claims, and agrees on shared practice and follow-up evidence.

Strong response indicators: Clarifies responsibilities and authorized decisions, verifies current information and individual supports with the right staff, builds timely handoffs, and checks delivery while maintaining appropriate access to student records.

Strong response indicators: Tracks dependencies and responsible owners, prioritizes student impact and verified deadlines, communicates capacity and risks early, keeps a correction log, and confirms completion instead of treating a sent email as a resolved issue.

Strong response indicators: Explains purpose, administration steps, interpretation limits, security and student-data handling, accessible participation, common errors, and where to obtain help; includes realistic practice and a check of staff understanding.

Strong response indicators: Reviews administration readiness, data accuracy, timely correction, teacher use of evidence, and changes in instructional practice and student learning; uses multiple sources and identifies what the evidence cannot attribute to the TOSA’s work alone.
