  3. The Need • Superintendents’ concerns for an interim assessment: • To raise the End of Course scores for the CTE courses • To do it online

  4. Course Selection • Courses were chosen by the greatest number of students tested in each subject area. • Core courses were used in Business and Family and Consumer Science • Core course for Agriculture was in revision so we used the course that was being tested which would effect the most students in our coop area

  5. Item Development Process • Teachers were trained on item development • Teachers were given the item analysis from test year 2010-2011 • Teachers did assessment of personal areas of weakness • Teachers worked together to create test questions using framework objectives

  6. Item Review • Teachers reviewed the questions and corrected or discarded the questions that they felt were incorrect or misleading

  7. Test Development • Curriculum specialist was hired to help review the questions • Questions were entered into the testing system • Questions were reviewed after entry to once again check for mistakes

  8. Test Delivery • Online • Familiar with D2SC/PCG as the vendor for Target Test Project

  9. Training • Brenda Beard with PCG did an after school workshop to show the teachers the testing process • Teachers were given detailed handouts to cover all areas of the assessment process

  10. First Cycle • Teachers were contacted as tests were released • ESC monitored to ensure that all teachers were testing and contacted those that had not

  11. Use of the Data • Reviewed reports • Item analysis • Individual student responses • Analyzed responses and reviewed incorrect/correct rationale • Retaught skills
