Stanford EPGY Winter Mathematics Screen Implementation Guide, November 8, 2013 According to the Shelby County Schools Benchmarking Calendar for the 2013-14 school year, all students in grades K-5 in Legacy MCS schools and Stanford Opt-In Legacy SCS schools are required to complete the Stanford EPGY Winter Mathematics Screen. The assessment window opens November 11, 2013.

For each grade level K-5, the Stanford EPGY Winter Mathematics Screen is composed of 10 carefully selected exercises drawn from the Stanford Math Pre Algebra Program. These exercises are designed to test expected fluency on key grade level specific Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The Stanford EPGY Winter Mathematics Screen provides teachers and administrators with an easy-to-implement method of quickly assessing all students in conformance with the new Tennessee Department of Education RTI2 requirements.

It is recommended that teachers schedule students to complete the Stanford EPGY Winter Mathematics Screen as early as possible after the assessment window opens. Students may complete the Stanford EPGY Winter Mathematics Screen as a whole class in a computer lab or laptop cart setting, or in small rotational groups using classroom computers. Students should be monitored during the assessment to ensure meaningful results. Detailed instructions regarding access are provided on the following pages, along with sample test items for each grade level.

If you have questions regarding district policy or requirements, please contact your Shelby County Schools District Mathematics Advisor. For implementation and/or technical support requests related to the Stanford EPGY Winter Mathematics Screen or for general questions related to EPGY Courses, please contact your Stanford EPGY Program Management Team at [email protected].

Stanford EPGY Winter Mathematics Screen

Instructions for Accessing the Assessment

1. Instruct the student to open a web browser and navigate to the EPGY Schools login page for your school. These sites are typically bookmarked on all certified computers, and many certified computers feature Stanford Math desktop icons. Please contact Stanford EPGY if you need assistance identifying your school’s login page.

2. Instruct the student to enter his or her username and password as shown below to log in. Students will use the same username and same password as they do for the regular EPGY Courses.

3. Instruct the student to click on “Run Course” beside the class named “Winter Math Screen – sec. ###”. Classes are named by section for reporting purposes.

Students enter their regular Stanford Math username and password and then press Enter or Login.

Students select Run Course beside WMAS to begin the assessment.



Instructions for Starting the Assessment and Working Exercises

4. After clicking “Run Course”, the student will be presented with a welcome screen. Instruct the student to click “OK” to begin the assessment.

5. After clicking “OK”, the student will work through exercises until 10 are completed. To complete an exercise, the student must enter a response into each of the yellow boxes on the screen, clicking enter to submit responses for immediate assessment and feedback. If the student needs to stop prior to completing the assessment, the student should simply close the application window. Upon logging back in, students will resume progress.

Students fill in all Yellow Boxes and click enter to submit final answers.

Students select OK to start the assessment.



Instructions for Finishing the Assessment

6. After completing all 10 exercises, the student will be presented with a completion screen. Instruct the student to click “OK” to acknowledge completion of the assessment, the assessment window will automatically close.

7. After a student has completed the assessment, the student will notice “Completed” in the area where “Run Course” was previously an option. Students may not retake the assessment once they have completed 10 exercises.

Students select OK to finish the assessment.

Students who have finished will be marked Completed.



Instructions for Accessing Basic Winter Math Screen Reports

1. Basic Reports for the Winter Math Screen are available via the Course Management System. To access the Course Management System, open a web browser and navigate to the EPGY Schools login page for your school. These sites are typically bookmarked on all certified computers, and many certified computers feature Stanford Math desktop icons. Please contact Stanford EPGY if you need assistance identifying your school’s login page.

2. Enter your Course Management System username and password to log in.

3. If you are an administrator, select the tab for your school, and then click on the Reports sub-tab. If you are a teacher, click on the tab labeled Winter Math Screen – sec. ###, and then click on the Reports sub-tab.

Administrators click on the School Tab, then Reports tab.

Teachers click on the Winter Math Screen Tab, then Reports tab.


4. From the options listed in the Reports tab, select the type of report you would like to run.

5. If you are an administrator, you have a school report option and a class report option. Selecting the School report option will require you to change the “Course” setting to Winter Math Screen. Upon clicking “Run report”, you will be presented with a report with one row per section. Selecting the Class report option will require you to select a class in the “Class” drop down box. Be sure to select the Winter Math Screen class of interest. Classes are listed alphabetically and are identified by section number.

6. If you are a teacher, you will select Class report. Upon clicking “Run report”, you will be presented with a report with one row per student for your section.

7. Students with “NE” or Number of Exercises equal to 10 have completed the assessment. A report for a class which has not yet started the assessment will appear as follows (Student names have been removed for privacy):
