This morning I gave ChatGPT @Teach_Jennifer's criteria for an anti-racist assessment and @sandy_student's definition of a performance task and asked it to create an anti-racist performance task that assesses 8th grade common core math standards. Take a look, how'd it do?

I just asked ChatGBT to write a 6-item multiple choice test measuring this common core standard 6.RP.A.1. Within seconds it produced the items in image 1. I then asked it to modify the assessment to include the context of recycling (image 2). I am blown away.

I agree, assessments designed to measure the "full breadth and depth of the content standards" for the purpose of school accountability are ill positioned to provide specific, diagnostic information about student-level academic needs and should not be required to do so.
How can states improve the instructional utility of their summative exams? @ScottFMarion & @DerekCBriggs say they shouldn’t! To the contrary, states need greater clarity about test purposes/uses, an idea mostly lost in today's testing debate. nciea.org/blog/just-give-us-… #AssessmentHQ
