employer-provided, paid training

programs. For more information on how

An "assessment blueprint" is a document that indicates the knowledge and skills that will be

covered in an assessment instrument and the percentage of the assessment that will be devoted

to each area of knowledge and skills. The Minnesota assessment blueprints will be used to

review the appropriateness of existing assessments by determining how closely those

assessments match up to what the Diagnostic Services career pathway working group have

determined should be assessed. The assessment blueprints can also be used to guide the

development of new assessments where suitable third-party assessments do not exist.
