Describe your recommendations for the functionality such a platform could and should offer. (3) How would you create this technology platform for summative assessments such that it could be easily adapted to support practitioners and professionals in the development, administration, and/or scoring of highquality interim assessments? (4) For the technology ‘‘platform’’ vision you have proposed, provide estimates of the associated development and ongoing maintenance costs, including your calculations and assumptions behind them. Project Management (1) Provide estimates of the development, maintenance, and administration costs of the assessment system you propose, and your calculations and assumptions behind them. (2) Describe the range of development and implementation timelines for your proposed assessment system, from the most aggressive to more conservative, and describe the actions that would be required to achieve each option. (3) How would you recommend organizing a consortium to achieve success in developing and implementing the proposed assessment system?

What would you recommend that a consortium demonstrate to show that it has the capacity to implement the proposed plan?
