College Board’s ACCUPLACER placement tests provide an invaluable tool to accurately assess incoming students’ readiness for college-level coursework. This session offers participants a comprehensive framework and methodology for developing effective ACCUPLACER cut-scores that align with desired English and mathematics curricula outcomes, including: data-driven decision making, faculty collaboration, advising, and assessment.
During the presentation participants will have the opportunity to complete an abbreviated placement testing assessment that highlights the need for cut-scores and placements tailored to individual learning needs. They will also have the opportunity to actively engage with one another in a role-playing exercise designed to illustrate the various expertise pertinent campus staff and partners contribute to placement testing cut-score evaluation and alignment with introductory English and mathematics course curricula.
