Authors: Tretter Thomas R., Brown Sherri, Bush William S., Saderholm Jon C., Holmes Vicki-Lynn

It was found that validity was strengthened by systematic synthesis of relevant documents, extensive use of external reviewers, and field tests with 900 teachers during assessment development process. The subsequent results from 4,400 teachers, analyzed with Rasch IRT modeling techniques, offer construct and concurrent validity evidence.
