If you're an educator with experience using the Illinois Learning Standards, please apply to join our effort to improve our proficiency definitions on assessments! We are forming working groups to develop performance level descriptors (PLDs) in English language arts, math, and science across grade levels 3-11, so input from the field is crucial to establish appropriate cut scores. These realigned benchmarks for proficiency will provide clear and consistent messaging to students, families, educators, and communities about how students in Illinois are performing and how assessment results should be interpreted. If you're interested in helping us improve assessments, please apply here: https://okt.to/O9QynJ
