About this file
This is an Appendix A form from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) for the Educator Preparation Alternative Assessment Attestations contract opportunity (26MACISCS5). The document serves as a template for sponsoring organizations to submit evidence grids demonstrating how they will assess educator competency in Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL) subject areas through alternative assessment methods. Organizations must complete a separate evidence grid for each MTEL included in their application, identifying a content expert who will sign off on all candidates for that specific MTEL. The form requires applicants to list each MTEL test objective and corresponding evidence sources that their organization would use to holistically determine functional content knowledge, along with a brief description of how the selected evidence was chosen and will be applied in the assessment process.
The document provides an example using the Foundations of Reading MTEL, which includes eleven test objectives covering areas such as phonological and phonemic awareness, phonics instruction, word analysis skills, reading fluency, vocabulary development, comprehension of literary and informational texts, assessment practices, and instructional best practices. Applicants must demonstrate how their organization will use evidence sources to verify that candidates meet functional knowledge standards for each objective, with particular emphasis on evidence-based instructional practices and assessment methodologies.
