OLPA???? (Optional Local Purpose Assessment) Remember OLPA is similar to a pretest for the year. It is measuring students on what they need to know by the end of the grade level to be proficient. The OLPA score suggests that if a student were taking their grade level MCA on this same day this would be their score for the April MCA. We do not have target charts for OLPA like we had for MAP. This is our first time giving the OLPA in the Fall so we do not have a comparison. The OLPA is not designed to measure academic progress across multiple grade levels.
What? • Online assessment • MCA items assessing grade level standards • Multiple choice items • Technology-enhanced items • Pause at any point in the test and resume the test later in the window • No participation requirements • Limited accommodations materials
Why? Preparation and practice for MCA assessment (concepts and process) Focus on assessing grade level content standards and benchmarks Baseline assessment and goal setting Determination of what types of instruction and supports students will need assistance in before the accountability test
Who ? grade 4 sample item grade 3 sample item Students grades 3-8 Students who took/will take MTAS or MCA modified.
Technology Enhanced Items grade 8 sample item grade 7 sample item

Courageous Conversations about Race Protocol • Four Agreements • Stay engaged • Speak your truth • Experience discomfort • Expect and accept non-closure • Six Conditions • Focus on personal, local and immediate • Isolate race • Normalize social construction & multiple perspectives • Monitor agreements, conditions and establish parameters • Use a "working definition" for race • Examine the presence and role of "Whiteness”
What is it about… our educational system… our instructional practices… our personal beliefs … our personal actions … that we consistently have this pattern in our data?
Math Literacy • Western culture and math beliefs • The math gene • Math as a gatekeeper • Feeling powerful • Enjoy math… feel successful at math… … will do more math
SPPS Beliefs about Learning for All Adapted from: Feuerstein’sTheory of Structural Cognitive Modification
Four “Rs” of Culturally Responsive Teaching Relationships: How will I build relationships with teachers, students, and families? Rigor: In what ways will I message to ALL students that they are expected to attain high standards? Realness: What strategies will I use to make sure students and adults are able to show up as their authentic selves? Relevance: How will I make sure the curriculum relates to students’ experiences, interests and backgrounds?
Culturally Responsive Teaching It’s only culturally responsive if our students are responsive to the strategy, curriculum, or instruction. One strategy may be effective and engaging for one student or student group and not another.

OLPA Baseline Data & Goal Setting For students …. Growth Mind-Set For teachers …. Growth Mind-Set Progress monitoring tool and common formative assessments …. Growth Mind-Set For principal / school …. Growth Mind-Set We need to know how to access and use the OLPA data now, so that in the winter we can quickly access, use, and plan with the OLPA data.

Secondary Math Messages for Strategic Support Strategies: Using SPPS Resources to teach, assess, and progress monitor the benchmarks while Providingdifferentiated coaching support, implementation feedback, and training while Building capacity of school leadership for: • Coaching 50+ “new” secondary math teachers • FES Problem Solving process – teaching strategy used to build student capacity to solve MCA like items through the 4 Rs of culturally responsive teaching • FES Math Review & Mental Math – teaching strategy focused on filling gaps in students computational skills
Elementary Math Messages for Strategic Support Strategies: Using SPPS Resources to teach, assess, and progress monitor the benchmarks while Providingdifferentiated coaching support, implementation feedback, and training while Building capacity of school leadership for: • FES Math Review & Mental Math – teaching strategy focused on filling gaps in students’ computational skills and number sense • Everyday Math Part 2 - differentiation with flex groups & manipulatives • PLCs focused on instructional strategies (based on common formative assessment data)that use manipulatives and support the 4 Rs of culturally responsive teaching
