OAKS AIMSweb District Wide Assessments
- Three opportunities given per year. - Students who have met do not have to take the test again. - OAKS allows students to regroup and guide the teacher's instruction. - There is a huge amount of pressure to pass the test on students and teachers. OAKS
- K through 5th uses AIMSweb -K/1 tests: *Letter Naming *Letter Sounds *Nonsense Word Fluency (noj, jif, caz) *Phonemic Segmentation Fluency (d-o-g) 1st grade (end of year) and 2nd - 5th tests: *fluency (1 minute timed passage) Only 1st grade does retell (which is optional) We are told this is a relatively reliable indicator of acquisition of reading abilities. AIMSweb
Reasons For Loving It Don’t Mind It Hating It “It’s Fun” “Sometimes the stories are boring ” “Waste of Time “it will help me read “I get sleepy” “Too Much Pressure” awesome books” “It’s just ok” “ You Miss Things Going on in Class” “It’s too hard” “It’s Boring” “sometimes makes me smarter” “It’s really dumb” “I don’t really enjoy reading tests” “it kinda help me read” “when you get to middle school the won’t know where to put you” “It’s kinda fun” “it got me to reading”
Why do you have to take the OAKS Tests? “I don’t know” “To see how you are doing in reading.” “Sometimes I past. Some I don’t.” “To see how good you are.” “To Get a Good Job”“So they know if you are dumb or smart.” “Because I didn’t pass before.”“To improve.” “to learn how to read”“So we can become a better reader.” “for your state standards” “To get better at reading”“Because it see how good we read.” “TO TORCHOR ME”“so you can be smarter” “To make us smarter.”“So I can go to another grade.” “to get good at reading”“to get good scores and a degree” “So if I was married I would have to get a lot of peaches I would have to know how to read”
Reasons For Loving It Don’t Mind It Hating It “It helps me improve” “it sometimes makes me smarter” “I don’t like getting timed” “I like to read” “I just have to read” “I hate the boring stories” “so I don’t have to do work” “it helps your comprehension” “it’s so boring” “I get batr scors” “its fun” “its boring” “Get out of class because I’m “because I don’t learn” in class almost all day” “sometimes it is not about “sometimes I get bored in class” the story” “to skip math and it’s fun” “they call your name out and they ask you whatyou just read. sometimes I don’t remember.”
Why do you think you are pulled out of the classroom to read out loud while someone times you and asks you questions? “It’s fun” “To see what level reading you are” “to see what levil I on”“to be good readers” “they want to see what level I am in reading” “It makes me nervous when they time me and I forget the question.”“To see how fast we read” “TO TORCHOR ME” “maybe they want to know how good I read” “A little time it’s hard for me”“to see how good you are” “to see how fast or well of a reader you are” “so you could get better reading skills” “to read because of high school” “they want you to read awesome books” “to have you read”“to improve reading and get a good job” “they whant to now have fast you can get” “I think better”
- AIMSweb and OAKS are the only common assessments. - No other common formative assessments between grade levels and teachers. - Not all assessments address vocabulary and comprehension. School Weaknesses
- There is not a district assessment plan. - The current report card does not address vocabulary. District Weaknesses
- Pick and implement a common assessment school wide. - Teachers should use a core program. - Have materials easily accessible to all teachers - Assessments are used to show growth over time for a specific group of students. - Assessments should be used to drive instruction regularly. Shaver Recommendations
- What common assessment do you think the district should use? - How could you use a common assessment if you do not use a common curriculum? - Does your school have a common assessment plan? - How does the lack of district wide common assessments affecting your job? Discussion Questions
