Identifying High-Leverage Practices for Guiding the Development of Teaching Assessments

Abstract

This report identifies eight high-leverage practices (HLPs) for teaching that are intended for use in guiding the development of a next generation of teaching assessments. The identified HLPs are drawn from an existing framework that provides empirical and theoretical research backing for 34 HLPs that make up the work of teaching. The report describes the methods used to select a subset of eight HLPs and provides initial recommendations for the assessment methods that are most appropriate for each of these eight HLPs.
