Assessment Planning 2012 To Board of Education: Memo explaining changes Three-Year DRAFT Plan 2012-13 Testing Windows Plan Documents Ready for Board Review in May
Since we last met… • TLA Curriculum Coordinators convened March 27 to draft a definition of District Benchmark Assessment (DBA) and inform future plans • Principals were brought “up to speed” and provided input on March 28 • TLA Curriculum Coordinators met again on April 3, utilizing principal feedback to revise the DBA definition and revisit parameters/framework • The work continues to define specific windows and to develop test blueprints that meet our stated parameters
Principal PLT Artifact 1: Up to Speed! Lap 1: DAD:PMI representatives’ email communication/process for feedback plus Background/Talking Points Lap 2: Guiding Principles/Roles & Responsibilities Lap 3: Components and Timeline of State Assessment Changes (MSIP 5, NCLB Waiver Request, Smarter Balanced) Lap 4: Three-Year Draft Plan
Principal PLT Artifact 2: Around we go! • Carousel Station 1: Input regarding definition of district benchmark assessment • Carousel Station 2: How frequent ly should DBAs be administered (number of times per year/when)? Rationale? • Carousel Station 3: Approximately what duration (amount of instructional time per assessment) would be recommended? Rationale? • Carousel Station 4: Should DBAs be considered within a student’s grade? Rationale? • Carousel Station 5: What are your recommendations regarding “phase in”/change of new DBAs? • Carousel Station 6: What process should we use to handle future changes, particularly as we are impacted by state initiatives?
Principal PLT Artifact 3: Meal Ticket • On a notecard, please write the following: • Elementary • Middle School • High School • The three MOST IMPORTANT things for TLA to consider regarding district benchmark assessments ARE: • _________ • _________ • _________
R& R: Draft 3-Year Plan • Label two sides of a notecard: • Side 1: I Remember • Side 2: I Realize • Before looking at the plan again, jot down at least three things you remember about it • Now look at the plan again! • Verify what you remember as correct (make changes if not) • Jot down key “realizations” (items you had forgotten, key points for stakeholders, new learning) • Give one, get one • Find a partner in the room, share one realization—trade cards • Second partner, same thing
Head and Shoulders: Principal Feedback • Review and process (in your head) the compiled feedback. • Highlight/make notes regarding key points • Turn to a shoulder partner • Share 1-2 “findings” from your reading
Bringing the NBA to DBA Part 1: Read through the revised DBA definition and parameters (top of page), as well as the implementation proposal (bottom of page) • Mark what you read with one of three letters: N, B, or A: N = Something you NOTICE B = Something you’d like to see made BETTER (please add your suggestion) A = Something you’d like to ASK Part 2: Shoot Around • In a team of 3-4, “shoot around” the group so that each person can comment • Keep a master copy of key items to share whole group TM
Still to come… • Using your feedback today, today’s documents will be revisited and revised • Specific testing windows (by level) will be distributed by end of day Wednesday, April 11 • Continue to collect feedback at your building and record on the GoogleDoc, as this is valuable input that will also be used to make changes • Input window extended to April 25 • All updated/new documents (including the testing windows) will be posted to the Assessment website
