Tolleson Elementary School District #17 • Review of Achievement Data from AZAC Forms A & B and TESD Mathematics Benchmark Pilot Test • 4.9.2008
Arizona Assessment Collaborative (AZAC) • 17 member districts dedicated to working together and pooling resources to develop “instructionally useful” assessments • TESD joined in July 2007 • Provides 3 reading test forms with AIMS correlations • Provides Math Item Bank
TESD 2007-2008 Projects • Implemented the use of AZAC Reading Form A (October & June) and Form B (February) in grades 3-8 • Implemented EDesk Scoring and Reporting Software • Initial Development of a Data Warehouse For All Student Achievement Data • Develop and pilot Summative & 3rd quarter Mathematics benchmark assessments
Questions About Student Achievement • How much growth have our students made between test administrations? • How are our students performing relative to how they performed on AIMS in Spring 2007? • How well do our ELL students perform on reading tests in the upper grades?
Pilot Math Assessment • Pilot Math Assessment Given in Grades 2-8 before break • Created with AZAC and CTB McGraw Hill Item Banks
Areas of Need: • Number Sense & Numerical Operations • Pattern Recognition • Estimation • Measurement
Upcoming Assessment Projects • Two additional mathematics benchmark assessments for grades 2-8 • Pilot AZAC Science Assessments in 2008-2009 • TESD Summative Assessment and Correlation to AIMS
