Abstract:
|
The initial pilot forms of the LOCUS assessments were administered to middle school and high school students in spring 2013. A description of the pilot study (e.g., number of schools, school characteristics, grade levels, number of students) will be presented. Summaries of test results across school settings and grade levels will be used to illustrate the informational characteristics of the current forms of the LOCUS assessments. Implications for the future development of the LOCUS instruments and future administrations will be discussed.
