Ms. Littlefair brings considerable experience to the direction and coordination of MI’s assessment scoring projects. Since joining MI’s permanent staff in 1982, Ms. Littlefair has been responsible for the management of nearly all of our major scoring contracts, both with state DOEs and with commercial clients. She has assisted these clients in establishing scoring criteria, conducting rangefinding meetings, refining scoring guides, selecting training materials, and supervising the training and scoring process.
Ms. Littlefair earned an M.A. in Education from Antioch College in 1971. Prior to her involvement with Measurement Incorporated, Ms. Littlefair worked regularly as a consultant for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). She was instrumental in developing NAEP’s writing mechanics guide and also participated in the development of the analytic analysis, cohesion, sentence-combining, and primary trait scoring guides. In addition, she assisted in establishing and conducting training and scoring procedures for NAEP’s 1973-79 writing assessment. |
