February 25th to March 29th Test Administration Window
The AASCD is administered in a one-on-one setting, with Test Administrators reading a script to administer tasks. • The administration of AASCD per student is approximately 4 hours. Breaks are permitted based on student need and circumstances. • Pictures, graphics and symbols are provided for nearly all of the tasks. • The Test Administrator uses a rubric to score the student’s performance. How Is the AASCD Administered?
All staff who administer the AASCD must attend training • Only district staff with ODE certification, licensure or permit are permitted to administer the test • Test materials received by districts must be considered secure just as OAA and OGT materials are • Teachers need to be familiar with Extended Standards and need to use them as the basis for classroom instruction • Teachers can use test format during instruction Important Information
With the AASWD, +/ 98% of students scored proficient or above. 95% of those scored accelerated and advanced. This produced no usable measure of student performance nor growth. Considerations • The new AASCD will have a distribution of scores comparable to the general assessments and will be able to show student growth.
