Materials Collection for Year-End States and Hints for Using Lists

Materials Collection Lists are the lists of items for all testlet linkage levels. Not all students will use all items listed. It is not necessary to gather all items in advance. The TIP will identify what items will be needed. Items may also be substituted. Use items familiar to the student. Substitutions may not change the construct of the assessment item. 

Items currently posted are for those used in the instructionally embedded assessment model. Prior to the testing window opening in March, the collections lists will be changed to reflect the materials needed in the year-end assessment model.  

Items do not vary significantly from year to year.
