EMM

Elevate My Math has a customizable framework to suit the required math course. The framework forms the foundation for both the assessment items and the remedial modules. It comprises of two equally important dimensions: Content Topics and Sub-topics To ensure that the Assessment for Learning program is custom tailored for the specific requirement of the math course, mathematical topics and sub-topics are identified to form the content dimension of the assessment framework. The framework can be expanded or adapted to suit the needs of a particular college or program to include modules which focus specifically on concepts for business, technology, or programs such as health, and the skilled trades, including topics such as geometry and trigonometry. Performance Expectation The assessment items and remedial modules correspond to the broader goals of mathematics teaching and learning: (A) Knowing, (B) Applying, (C) Reasoning. The framework is reviewed and finalized by professors of the math course for which the assessment framework is being designed. Test Design The assessment items are drawn from pools of items to form individual diagnostic and summative tests. The design ensures that the tests are: unique for every test taker; equally representative of both content and performance expectation dimensions of the assessment framework; long enough (i.e. a sufficient number of test items) to enable reliable estimates of test takers’ abilities but short enough to complete in a reasonable length of time.
