ATI has made it easier for districts and charters to develop assessments addressing appropriate levels of cognitive complexity. Galileo Test Builder has been enhanced to support filtering item searches by Depth of Knowledge (DOK) level while developing assessments. Additionally, when items are administered, DOK information may be easily viewed in several reports (i.e. Item Analysis, Intervention Alert, and Test Monitoring Reports). Soon, DOK levels will also be viewable in the Test Review interface for users with appropriate permissions.

Coming Soon – Real-Time Developmental Level Scores and Statewide Test Forecasting
Galileo will begin automatically generating Developmental Level (DL) scores, performance levels, and risk levels for Arizona students as soon as they have completed district/charter-wide assessments. The DL score is an Item Response Theory (IRT) based measure of student ability. The DL score takes into account the difficulty of test items and can be placed on a common scale across tests to evaluate growth. The DL score is also used to classify students into Risk Levels that forecast likely student performance on the statewide test at the end of the year. Immediate access to DL scores and Risk Levels will provide districts/charters with real-time actionable information to guide next instructional steps.
For more information on these or other features of Galileo, contact our friendly and knowledgeable Field Services Coordinators.
