The MDE provides a weekly summary of communication from the Bureau of Assessment and Accountability. Here is a link to the preview issues posted. http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140-22709_31168-280911--,00.html

Spotlight 2/12/2015: “This new resource differs from the Spring 2015 Preview by providing more sample test items specific to grade and content.”
Online Assessment Awareness
http://aware.22itrig.org/
A new resource meant to help raise educator and student awareness of M-STEP has been created through TRIG funding and the Greater Michigan Educational Consortium (GMEC). This resource is a self-paced ‘course’ for students and educators. Created by a group of educators, the vision for this project is that students will demonstrate the ability to successfully navigate technology enhanced online assessments and teachers/administrators will value the importance of professional development in how to incorporate online learning/assessments in their instruction so that students are prepared to take high stake online assessments.
Classroom Activity Performance Task
• 30 minute scripted lesson presented to the students.
• The lesson is delivered by a classroom teacher.
• It may occur the same day as the Performance Task (PT) or up to 3 days prior.
• The purpose of the activity is to expose students to the context and vocabulary of the PT.
• A multi-item task administered online.
• Students are presented with several stimuli, and will respond to Technology Enhanced (TE) items, short Constructed Response (CR), and extended CR items.
• Administering the PT without the Classroom is considered a classroom irregularity.
Make it Work for YOU!Let’s take a look at an “edited” version of the sample Classroom Activity and a Performance Task for each grade level.
Samples of Classroom Activities and Performance
TasksOne sample online Mathematics CA and PT for each grade level has been posted online, complete with scoring guides embedded in the PTs. The posted sample does not represent actual test items.

Claim 1Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts andinterpret and carry out mathematical procedures withprecision and fluency.
Grade Level Number of *Assessment Targets
3 114 125 116 107 98 10
11 16
*Cluster headings as assessment targets: In the CCSSM the cluster headings usually serve to communicate the larger intent of a group of standards.
What is a Target?A “Target” is a cluster statement. As you look at the Michigan K-12 Standards for Mathematics for your grade level or subject, they are the bolded statements that appear as a heading
Example - Grade 3Operations and Algebraic Thinking• Target A Represent and solve problems involving multiplicationand division. 3.OA.1, 3.OA.2 3.OA.3, 3.OA.4• Target B Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division 3.OA.5, 3.OA.6
What is an ALD?ALDs – Achievement Level Descriptors• Policy ALDs – are general descriptors thatarticulate the goals and rigor for the finalperformance standards supporting the overall claim.
• Content ALDs – in general, at what level (rigor) isthe student understanding or interpreting thecontent based on the Claim.
What is an ALD?ALDs – Achievement Level Descriptors• Range ALDs – are grade-and-content specific ALDs that may be
used by test developers to write items that align to the cognitive and content rigor that has been defined within a particular achievement level.
• Threshold ALDs – defines the minimum performance required for meeting a particular achievement level expectations.
Claim 2Students can solve a range of complex well-posed problems in pure and applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies.
