Identifying Performance Measures • This video is the third in a series of five videos created to support the understanding of SLOs. The Identifying Performance Measures video will outline the following… • Creating or selecting assessments that measure standards being taught • Determining if assessments are to measure student growth, mastery or both • Principles of well-developed measures • Considerations necessary in the selection or creation of assessments that will serve as your Performance Measures • The documents that support this video are located on the WPAIUCC SLO Moodle.
Identifying Performance Measures Check all the types of Performance Measures you are using Educators can determine how many of these assessments are needed x Algebra CDT District Quarterly Exams State Diagnostic Assessments
What do you want to measure and why? • Purpose of Chosen Assessment • Who/What and Why • Explain the reason the assessments were identified • Choosing a Metric • Mastery – this is a set achievement level • Growth – improvement in performance over time • Growth and Mastery – using one assessment for both
Identifying Performance Measures Select one of the three metric choices Address the who, what, and why of each assessment used PURPOSE: The CDT gives me a pre-assessment of where to start with students and a chance to determine if they are making progress District Quarterly Exams allow me to determine if students are mastering the content each nine weeks. METRIC: The CDT will be used to Measure Growth (check Growth) The District Quarterly Exams will be used for Mastery. (check Mastery)
Identifying Performance Measures These should be specific to those needed to implement this SLO Quarterly, semester, or end-course Sept and Jan End of ea. 9 wks. x As written in the IEP The CDT will be given twice and the District Exam is given each nine weeks

Identifying Performance Measures • Now that we have reviewed the completion of the template, you might want to consider the following: • Do my assessments test what I think they do? • Do I have enough assessment items for each standard? • Are my assessment items rigorous enough? • If the assessment is teacher created, were strong test development protocols used? • The next section of the video walks you through a process for consideration.
Identifying Performance Measures • Principles of Well-Designed Measures • Be built to achieve the designed purpose • Produce results that are used for the intended purpose • Align to targeted content standards • Contain a balance between depth and breadth of targeted content • Be standardized, rigorous, and fair • Be sensitive to testing time and objectivity • Be valid and reliable
Choosing the Right Assessments • Think about everything that is available to you… • Teacher made • Vendor made • Identify the assessment type… • Project or Portfolio with a Rubric for evaluation? • Standardized Assessment? • District or Teacher Created Exams? • Identify what each assessment measures… • Does the assessment measure the targeted standards? • How many of the questions align to the standards targeted in the SLO?
Test-Blueprinting • When you think you’ve narrowed it down to a few assessments, you may wish to develop an assessment blue print. • Are you sure your assessments are rigorous? • Are you certain your questions are not all recall items? • Use the Developing a Test-Blueprint Chart and Guidelines • At least three items per standard being assessed • Reading level of the assessment should be considered • Variety of Item types • Balance of DOK levels being assessed • Points value of the assessment between 25-50 items, depending on age
