Goals for Tonight Provide an Overview of the Assessments
given K-5 and Recent Results from these assessments
Explain the rationale behind recent assessment changes
Discuss the impact of WA State ESEA Waiver Review District Position on Practice tests Identify What is Coming in the World of
Assessment
State/Federal Level Testing Requirements Washington English Language
Proficiency (WELPA)/Placement and Annual Test
Second Grade Reading Assessment Measurements of Student Progress
(MSP) National Assessment of Educational
Progress (NAEP) Classroom Based Assessment/Civics
Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAO) Results AMAO Target 1-MET
Measures the annual increase in the number or percentage of children making progress in learning English
AMAO Target 2-MET Measures the number or percentage of children
attaining English proficiency. AMAO Target 3-MET
Measures the number or percentage of students learning English who reach academic standards in reading and math based on the state’s assessments.
Second Grade Reading Assessment Mandates that every student in the
state of Washington be assessed at the beginning of the second grade using a grade-level equivalent oral reading passage. Students whose performance is found to be substantially below grade level must be provided an intervention plan that involves the student, parents, and school.
Measurements of Student Progress Third grade-Reading and Math Fourth grade- Reading, Math and Writing Fifth grade Reading, Math, and Science
What is a good score on the MSP?
Advanced (Level 4) Proficient (Level 3) Basic (Level 2) Below Basic (Level 1)
Students generally have to achieve a score that represents approximately 60-65% of the points possible on each test to pass. That score or above means they have met the required standard for proficiency in that subject.
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) An essential measurement of student
achievement in the United States Required by federal government for all
states receiving Title I funding National results are reported for grades
4, 8, and 12 In the ISD Cascade Ridge and Maywood
Middle School will participate this year
Classroom-based Assessment-Civics
State mandated assessment are multi-stepped tasks or projects aligned to specific state standards which target skill and knowledge necessary for engaged, informed citizenship
Most of the assessments ask students to develop a position on an issue, event, or question, include background on the issue, event, or question, provide reasons for the position and cite the sources used to develop and support the position
District Required Assessments Fountas & Pinnell Reading Assessment Everyday Math Assessment Stanford 10 Achievement Test Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) Structure of the Intellect (SOI)
Fountas & Pinnell Reading Assessment Spring 2011-Fountas and Pinnell Reading
assessment was selected by the Reading scope and sequence committee
Determines 3 reading levels for each student Independent, Instructional, Hard Provides placement level for guided reading
instruction Allows teachers to tailor their reading program
more accurately to a wide range of reading abilities
Stanford 10 Achievement Nationally standardized, norm-referenced
achievement test Group administered Collects achievement data from a
nationally representative group of students so that others have a current norm group against which to compare their scores
Given at 1, 2, and 5th grade
CogAT/SOI Group-administered ability test battery and
creativity measured CogAT-Used to assess students’ abilities in
reasoning and problem solving using verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal symbols
SOI-Used to assess creativity (figural-spatial, symbolic and verbal abilities are measured)
Used as part of the identification process for Gifted/Talented students eligibility
Rationale behind Assessment Changes WASL to MSP Stanford 10 Achievement K-12, to
Stanford 10 Achievement administration only at 1, 2, and 5
WA State ESEA Flexibility Waiver Superintendent Dorn announces ESEA
Waiver approval July 6, 2012 Effective immediately Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP) rules are replaced by Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO)calculations
What’s Coming in Assessment? Smarter Balanced Assessment
Consortium Common Core State Standards On-line Testing Teacher-Principal Evaluation Pilot Common Assessments
The Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project The Teacher and Principal Evaluation
Project (TPEP) is part of a broad education reform bill (E2SSB 6696) passed by the Washington State Legislature in 2010.
Traditional evaluation systems have a two-level ranking of “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory”. The legislation calls for a four-level rating system and eight minimum criterion
