In this digital ITEMS module, Dr. Michael Bunch provides an in‐depth, step‐by‐step look at how standard setting is done. It does not focus on any specific procedure or methodology (e.g., modified Angoff, bookmark, and body of work) but on the practical tasks that must be completed for any standard setting activity. Dr. Bunch carries the participant through every stage of the standard setting process, from developing a plan, through preparations for standard setting, conducting standard setting, and all the follow‐up activities that must occur after standard setting in order to obtain the approval of cut scores and translate those cut scores into score reports. The digital module includes a 120‐page manual, various ancillary files (e.g., PowerPoint slides, Excel workbooks, sample documents, and forms), links to datasets from the book Standard Setting (Cizek & Bunch, 2007), links to final reports from four recent large‐scale standard setting events, quiz questions with formative feedback, and a glossary.
