  7. AB 484: Accountability The main components of the legislation that impact accountability: • Replaces the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program with the California Measurement of Academic Performance and Progress (CalMAPP) • Prohibits the use of the 2013–14 field test results for accountability purposes • Prohibits the comparison of results from the consortium summative assessments and California Standards Tests (CSTs)

  8. AB 484: Accountability • Provides the State Superintendent, with the approval of the SBE, the authority to determine if API scores would be a valid measure of school and district performance in the 2013–14 and 2014–15 school years only

  9. AB 484: Accountability API for Elementary and Middle Schools: • The State Superintendent will take a recommendation to the SBE regarding whether or not to suspend elementary and middle school API reports in spring 2014

  10. AB 484: Accountability API High Schools: • Since the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) will be administered during 2013–14, the CDE could produce API reports for high schools. The API could be based on: • Grade 10 CAHSEE and the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA) English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics • Grade 10 CST, CMA, and CAPA Life Science

  11. AB 484: Accountability • The change to the calculation methodology of the high school API is pending a recommendation by the State Superintendent and approval by the SBE

  12. AB 484: Accountability • Provides alternatives for schools and districts that do not receive an API to meet legislative requirements in one of the following ways: • Use the most recent API • Use an average of the three most recent annual API calculations • Use alternative measures that show increases in pupil academic achievement schoolwide and for all student groups

  13. AB 484: Accountability AYP for Elementary and Middle Schools: • Determination flexibility allows the 2014 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) reports to reflect the 2013 AYP results. • Schools currently in Program Improvement (PI) will maintain their current status and will not be required to implement any new PI activities. (New schools will not be identified for PI.)

  14. AB 484: Accountability AYP for High Schools: • 2014 AYP determinations will be made for high schools based on the 2014 CAHSEE and CAPA ELA and mathematics results • High schools may be identified or advanced in PI based on 2014 AYP results

  15. SBAC Field Test – Spring 20142014 • Required for grades 3-8 and 11* at all schools • Grades 3–8: All students are expected to participate. • Grades 9 and 10: Only students selected for the scientific sample are expected to participate. • Grade 11: * Students selected for the scientific sample are expected to participate; all others may participate. * All grade 11 students may participate in the Early Assessment Program.

  16. SBAC Field Test – Spring 2014 2014 • Purpose(s): • Try out items and testing system • Develop adaptive algorithm • Set initial performance level scores • Further define support tools

  17. Depth of Knowledge DOK

  18. Common Core Big IdeasDepth of Knowledge (DOKs) Yuan & Le (2012); Herman & Linn (2013) from Linda Darling-Hammond, Assembly Hearing, 3.6.13

  19. Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines • Approved by governing states on September 10, 2013 • Describes three types of student supports available

  20. SBAC Online Practice Tests • Released May 29, 2013; enhancements added in August 2013 • Purpose: to give students, parents, teachers, administrators the opportunity to become familiar with the online testing environment • Should not be used to guide instructional decisions regarding individual students • A practice test is available in ELA and math for each of grades 3-8 and grade 11 (Approximately 30 questions per test)

  21. SBAC Online Practice Tests • Tests provide preview, but do not encompass the full range of content that students may encounter • No secure login or password required • Work cannot be saved • Scoring guides available for ELA and math

  22. SBAC Online Practice Tests • As you look at the items, notice… • Content Skills needed • Process Skills needed • Technology Skills needed • What are the implications for instruction? • This year? • In the future?
