SCHOOL UNIVERSITY VSUP TEST ITEM BANK The Virginia-School University Partnership offers an important professional service to its membership through the VSUP Test Item Bank. The purpose of the Test Item Bank is to provide quality test questions for SOL subject areas to be used by member school divisions and schools for the purpose of providing instructional support to teachers in assessing and remediating students. VSUP began the Test Item Bank project during the fall of 2007. The Steering Committee, composed of instructional leaders from the partner school divisions, developed a Master Plan for the ongoing work of the Test Bank.

Professional
development is a strong part of the work of theTest Bank. Initially
each group goes through training sessions regarding the writing of quality
test items. Member school divisions provide release time for teachers
and specialists to meet in Workgroups to discuss and vet sample test
items. Items are reviewedfor quality, content, SOL alignment, and level
of difficulty according to Bloom's Taxonomy. Three readers/groups approve
each item prior to inclusion in the Test Bank. Currently almost one
thousand test items are available in the subjects of Math 6, 7, and
8 and U.S. History 1. Only member school divisions have access to test
bank questions.
