Assessment Design

The Alaska Department of Education & Early Development (DEED) licenses items from Data Recognition Corporation’s (DRC) College- and Career- Ready (CCR) item bank for use on the science assessment.

Annually, DRC writes a Technical Report that provides information and a data analysis that supports the validity and reliability of the summative assessments. The technical report is available upon request.
