Forward Exam Educator Involvement Opportunities

2023 Forward Exam New Item Review 

decorative

DPI is recruiting eight educators for each of the content areas and grade levels/spans listed below. We are looking for a diverse group of educators from all over Wisconsin (including EL and special education teachers).

New Item Review is an important step in the development of the Forward Exam. Educators review all new items created for the exam for content, grade-level appropriateness, link to correct standard, cultural inclusivity, and bias/sensitivity issues. This is a great opportunity to be a part of assessment development, provide valuable feedback, have detailed input about the items on the Forward Exam, and take knowledge back to your district about the process.
