• ATI has integrated AZCCRS and Next Generation Science Standards into Galileo K-12 Online assessment, instruction and dashboard tools.
• The system is aligned and informed by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College Careers (PARCC)and Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) guidelines.
• A new generation of test item and instructional content including Technology Enhanced Items (TEI) are continuously being developed, certified and embedded in Galileo.
Earlier this week ATI initiated a voluntary statewide pilot of TEI Assessments (You can sign-up today)

Item Type Array
• Selected-Response Items: These items are automatically scored and ACCRS aligned.
• Constructed-Response and Performance-Based Items: These items include scoring rules that facilitate accurate scoring by linking allocated points to clearly observable elements of student responses.
• Technology Enhanced Items (TEI):
Interface Enhanced Items (IEI)
Customized and individually programmed, providing access to items that may have clickable images, drag and drop functionality, interactive graphs, etc. When PARCC or SBAC consortia add or modify technology enhanced items, ATI IEI technology makes it possible to quickly develop items to reflect these changes.
Item-Collection
Multiple sub-items combined into a single item. For example, one sub-item might be a selected-response item. The second item would then ask the student to explain or support that conclusion using an additional selected-response item, or a constructed-response item.
Sequencing Items
Assesses ordering and sequencing skills. Sequencing tasks require the student to place things into logical or procedural order to demonstrate understanding of cause and effect relationships, order of operations, or steps in a process.
Interactive Text Items
Require the student to identify key elements of a text by highlighting those elements.
Multiple Right Answers
Makes it possible to select multiple right answers on selected response items.
