  1. Contact Information Directors • Carolyn Hanschen, District and Campus Accountability 414-9866 • Debra Ready, PIEMS 414-9907 • Mark Billingsley, Systemwide Assessment 414-3701 • Holly Williams, Research and Evaluation 414-3631 • Norma Jost 414-4517 https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XHCNLQC

  2. AISD Formative Assessment Program AISD Administrator Institute 8/2/11 Bill Caritj, Debra Ready, Norma Jost Benchmark Assessments Agenda Short Cycle Benchmark Assessments Primary Reading/Math Schoolnet & TMSDS Child Study and RTI

  3. AISD Formative Assessments Purpose • Common vision of system-wide assessment program • Curriculum-based – short cycle & benchmark tests (and aligned to state assessments) • Early identification and instructional adjustments – Child Study (eCST), RTI, and Primary Reading • Beyond basic skills and state assessments – teacher-made assessments (e.g., multiple measures and performance measures) Design Status • BOYs will go to printer this week; and there is a new review process that includes panels of teachers (BOYs and all MOY I) Calendar • Benchmark and SCA Calendars are complete Training videos – how to scan, print bubble sheets & run reports @ www.austinschools.org/curriculum/aims/training.html

  4. Benchmark Assessments Measure student mastery of the taught curriculum and provide predictive data for future success (e.g., STAAR and EOC Exams) Purpose Curriculum-based; only taught curriculum; emphasis on readiness standards Design Mastery 85-100% Green Satisfactory 70-84% Blue Needs Improvement 55-69% Yellow Critical Need 0-54% Red BOYs to printer this week; TAKS-based MOYs will be provided for grades 10-11 and students repeating grade 9 Status Calendar See ES, MS, and HS Benchmark Calendars Training videos – how to scan, print bubble sheets & run reports @ www.austinschools.org/curriculum/aims/training.html

  5. Short Cycle Assessments Provide brief & timely curriculum-based assessments to assess content mastery Purpose Curriculum-based; 1-3 TEKS/SE; short tests; replaces elementary 3-week and secondary 6-week tests Design Status All SCAs for 1st grading period will be developed by Aug. 2011; online by MOY 1 Calendar Calendar is being finalized (level mtgs.)

  6. Short Cycle Assessments • Grades 3-5 • ELA/Reading • Math • Science Grades, Subjects, and Courses • Grades 6-8 • ELA/Reading • Math • Science • Social Studies • Courses • English I-III • Algebra I and II and Geometry • Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and IPC • World Geometry, World History, and U.S. History

  7. SCA Schedule – Sample Grade 3 Mathematics

  8. Primary Reading: TPRI/Tejas LEE and DRA/EDL • TPRI/Tejas LEE – identify students who need early intervention; match interventions to the needs; and document response to interventions & making changes in content/methodology based on data • DRA/EDL – measure level students can read “independently” (not than “instructional level”) Purpose Design Individually administered; different structures (e.g., TPRI/Tejas LEE provide data on specific skills); Status Same as 2010-2011; all students Calendar See Benchmark Calendar; TPRI/Tejas LEE (K-2) – 3 times; DRA/EDL (grades 1-2) – 3 times/Kg – twice

  9. Schoolnet: Classroom Assessments Purpose Permit teachers to build their own tests; create and save new items or test forms Design Developed by classroom teachers Status About 5,000 TAKS release items are loaded; Intel Assess bank by Sept. 30th Calendar On demand at any time

  10. TMSDS Purpose • Provide timely curriculum-based assessments • TEA math/science item bank & assessment system; • Grades 3-8, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Biology, Chemistry and Physics TEKS. • May be used to create campus assessments, quizzes and diagnostic tests.   • Content is available in English and Spanish Design • AISD has permission to enter TMSDS content into Schoolnet; State TMSDS system is still available and will be supported. Status Calendar • On demand at any time * Texas Math and Science Diagnostic System

  11. Child Study/RTI • Identify students who need early intervention • Match interventions to the specific needs • Document response to interventions & making changes in content/methodology based on data Purpose • Behavior • Attendance • Academics • Speech and Language Design Status • eCST case management software is being finalized and demonstrated (Simon Tidd) • Vertical team support and Training Calendar • See Sally Rothenberg

  12. Response to Intervention (RTI) • Identify students who need early intervention • Match interventions to the specific needs • Document response to interventions & making changes in content/methodology based on data Purpose • Tiers I-III • Reading and Mathematics • Universal Screener and Progress Monitoring • English and Spanish Design • TPRI/Tejas LEE (K-2) – same as 2010-2011 • Reading/Math – AIMSweb (all MS and pilot ES) • Texas Early Math Inventory (pilot ES/ K-2) Status Calendar • See Benchmark Calendar; and RTI timeline

  13. Universal Screener • Is used as a benchmark to measure the performance of ALL students (Tier I) • Data are used to determine which students need closer monitoring or an intervention • Helps you assess the effectiveness of your instruction and curriculum Purpose Design • Several sources of data might be used – past TAKS scores; daily class work; and universal screeners • TPRI/Tejas LEE administered in grades K-2 • AIMSWeb – all middle schools and pilot ES (new) • Texas Early Math (TEMI) – K-2 (eight pilot ES) Status Calendar • See Benchmark Calendar; and RTI timeline

  14. Progress Monitoring • Permit instructional changes to ensure a positive response to intervention • Decide whether to adjust an intervention • Allow students in Tier II & III the opportunity to move to another tier as progress is made. Purpose Design • Short skills-based assessments matched to interventions • Dibels (K-5) • AIMSWeb – all middle schools and pilot ES (new) • Texas Early Math (TEMI) – K-2 (eight pilot ES) Status Calendar • See Benchmark Calendar; and RTI timeline

  15. Question #1Based on what I have seen, the Schoolnet system is going to meet my school’s assessment and reporting needs. Schoolnet Training • Strongly Disagree • Disagree • Agree • Strongly Agree

  16. Question 2Teachers will have the assessment tools they need to differentiate instruction in the upcoming school year. Teacher Tools • Strongly Disagree • Disagree • Agree • Strongly Agree

  17. Question 3The changes we are making to the formative assessment program will help us prepare for STAAR and EOC exams. STAAR and EOC • Strongly Disagree • Disagree • Agree • Strongly Agree

  18. Questions/Discussion What are two things you will need from Curriculum and Assessment this year to help you continue to close achievement gaps and ensure that students are progressing toward college and career readiness?
