with other educators, and earn a stipend or SCECHs
for your expertise, time, and contributions!
24Be Involved!
Bias and Sensitivity Committee (BSC)-
Bias and sensitivity are reviewed at the same time. The purpose of this committee is to
review context for bias and sensitivity.
Bias-Presence of some characteristic of an item that results in differential performance
for two individuals of the same ability but from different subgroups.
Sensitivity-Content or language in an item or passage that evokes an unintentional
distraction or emotional reaction from the test taker.
25Be Involved!
Content Advisory Committee (CAC)-
This committee reviews newly developed context with Michigan
educators. Item are reviewed for: content alignment, levels of rigor,
technical design, universal design, and accessibility.
Item Writing-
Teachers develop the items for the Michigan’s M-STEP and K-2
assessments. Teachers learn how to design items to assess students
understanding of learning expectations.
26Be Involved!
Item Review for Bias/Sensitivity and Content Advisory Committee-
Teachers not involved in the item writing process are needed to provide
content-related feedback and recommendations on those items both
before and after they have been field tested. Item are reviewed for:
content alignment, levels of rigor, technical design, universal design, and
accessibility.
Data Review-
Bias/sensitivity and content committees review all data. During this
review the committee is trained to understand and interpret statistics
from field-tested items. Recommendations from the committee are
recorded for items with poor statistics.
27Be Involved!
Standard Setting-
The process where the descriptions of achievement levels and the
minimum scores necessary to be classified into each level (i.e., cut
scores) are established. Committee members receive training that
outlines the standard setting process, their specific task, and the
materials that they will be using.

312020-2021 ELMBA Updates
• The K-2/ELMBA was offered remotely for the first time.
–Due to COVID, many schools did not have in
person instruction. MDE provided the option to
administer the K-2 assessments remotely, instead of
just in the classroom. Students were able to sign
into the test from home to take the assessment. This
provided teachers the opportunity to view the
results of the assessment and plan instruction
accordingly.
–In the fall, over 400 students were able to take the
assessment remotely.
