Michigan’s Science Assessments Michigan Educational Assessment Program
(MEAP) - Grades 5, 8, and 12 Michigan Merit Examination (MME) - Grade 11 Secondary Credit Assessments

MEAP Copies of the MEAP tests are available at
www.michigan.gov/meap. Scoring rubrics and samples of student
responses are also available MEAP results by school and district are
available online

Current Science Design Science assessments are comprised of
multiple-choice items and constructed-response items
Some content standards are assessed year after year
Other content standards are also focused on over a three-year cycle
![Page 5: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
MEAP Item Development MEAP items are developed by Michigan
teachers - item development meetings occur each summer
Also using Michigan’s professional subject-matter groups (e.g., MSTA) to assist in item development
Assures that MEAP assessments are relevant to our schools
Provides a valuable professional development opportunity for Michigan educators

Science Design - Future Focus on key student outcomes at the
state level
![Page 18: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Science Design - Future By looking at learning progressions, the
goal is to create assessments that work together Formative assessments for classroom
teacher use Benchmark assessments for district use Summative assessments for use at the
state level
![Page 19: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Science Design - Future Develop the assessment system (state,
district, and classroom-based assessments) at the same time to assure that the pieces work together to support learning of the content expectations.
![Page 20: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Science Design - Future Create a coherent, coordinated
assessment system Different assessment types will be
developed State: multiple-choice and written response District: multiple-choice and written response Classroom: multiple-choice, written response,
performance assessments, projects, and portfolio-based activities
![Page 21: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Science Design - Future Based on the same content standards
and expectations Provide classroom and benchmark
assessments to local districts for voluntary local district use
![Page 22: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Science Design - Future Implement new state assessment 2-3
years after the revised state standards are approved by the SBE Grades 5 and 8 MEAP assessments Grade 11 MME assessment
![Page 23: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Future Science Assessments Once content expectations are approved,
three types of assessments will be created MEAP Science assessments MME Science component Secondary Credit Assessments - in Science
![Page 24: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Future Science Assessments Science assessments will be created by
Michigan teachers and will be field tested a year before they are implemented.
![Page 25: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Science Design - Future Make sure the MEAP assessments at all
levels are aligned with Michigan’s content standards and content expectations (NCLB requirement) Use Webb methodology to first determine
what assessment augmentation is needed Select or develop and validate needed
assessments Use Webb methodology to verify alignment
![Page 26: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Science Design - Future Make sure the MEAP assessments at all
levels are aligned with Michigan’s content standards and content expectations (NCLB requirement) Submit final information to the U.S.
Department of Education (USED) Obtain USED approval of the changes to
assessment at all levels Use assessment information for
EducationYES!
![Page 27: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Future MME Science Assessments Examine new High School Content
Expectations Determine what part(s) are assessed in ACT
Science test Determine what portions of the remaining
content expectations are suitable for state summative assessment
Determine for which content expectations new item development needs to take place
Carry out item development
![Page 28: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Future MME Science Assessments Pilot test the new items Review and revise the new assessments Field test the items by embedding them in
operational forms Using field-test data, assemble the new tests
and develop test directions for these new assessments
Provide technical and other information to USED to show the technical adequacy of these assessments.

Future Secondary Credit Assessments High school graduation legislation
requires the creation of end-of-course exams
Science Secondary Credit Assessments will be created in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science
![Page 30: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Future Secondary Credit Assessments Assessments will be developed for
traditional, integrated and applied instruction
Legislation requires districts to use an “approved assessment” to certify accomplishment of the course/credit
![Page 31: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Future Secondary Credit Assessments Michigan is proposing to create a
“formative” credit assessment system so that students can receive credit by passing exams given before, during or after instruction.
Assessments would be delivered online so that students could be assessed when the students or the teacher are ready
![Page 32: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Future Secondary Credit Assessments Assessments need to be ready within
three years, although some exams will be ready sooner Biology may be ready within a year
![Page 33: Overview of Michigan’s Secondary Assessments of Science](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070502/568149f3550346895db72254/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Future Secondary Credit Assessments Use is voluntary at the district level The goal is to assure that students are
exposed to and learn rigorous content to match the title of the credit area
