Third Grade Reading Readiness Elementary Principals’ Meeting March, 2012
Data Goal:Determining3rd Grade Reading Readiness • Develop a common set of reports and tools • Use for pre-school, kindergarten, first, and second, and third grades • Use local assessments • Tie to 3rd grade MEAP reading proficiency
MEAP Reading Domains • Word Study • Use strategies to construct meaning • Determine meaning of words and phrases in context • Narrative Text • Describe genre • Describe elements of story • Describe use of literary devices • Informational Text • Describe genre • Describe use of text features • Comprehension • Retell main idea and relevant details • Compare/contrast relationships across texts • Apply knowledge across subjects
How well do the existing local assessment predict success on the Grade 3 Reading MEAP?
Common Assessments A Common Assessment is an assessment typically created collaboratively by a team of teachers responsible for the same grade level, course, or content area.
Excellent Examples Webb (1997) Depth of Knowledge • Recall • Skills and Concepts • Strategic Thinking • Extended Thinking Anderson, & Krathwohl (2001) Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy
Depth of Knowledge • Recall includes facts, definitions, terms, or a simple procedure, • “identify”, “recall” ,“recognize” • Skills and Concepts includes some processing beyond a habitual response • “classify”, “organize”, “compare” • Strategic requires reasoning, planning, or using evidence • “justify” ,“draw conclusion”, “explain” • Extended Thinking requires complex reasoning, planning, developing, and thinking. • “evaluate”, “design”, “generalize”
Reverse DesignSource: Ernie Bauer, and Jim Gullen, “Locally Developed Assessment: What Do the Results Mean?”, April 2010 • Start with an existing test with items • Group the items by content (GLCE/HSCE) • This will give you the rows for the blueprint • Split the items in the content piles by methods of assessment and/or cognitive difficulty • This will give you the columns for the blueprint • Create a blueprint document to check if this provides acceptable evidence for you.
