  4. Review of the status of large-scale arts assessments and current practice in arts assessment for K-12 accountability • Discussion on approaches of five states to standard based assessments adm062010

  5. Results of Review of Washington’s Performance Based Assessments • Findings: • Require very little arts knowledge to make qualitative judgments • Scoring Guides thorough in defining art terms and what student work should look or sound like • The scoring guide includes rubrics that align with standards based criteria • Reliability can be maintained because criteria are simply counted • Scoring guide includes • Anchor set-scored student sample • Practice set-teachers use to practice scoring adm062010

  7. Purpose • Examine issues and promising practices in K-12 district wide systems for assessing student performance in arts education programs • Builds on findings of An Unfinished Canvas which applied three criteria for balance in large scale assessment programs: • Comprehensiveness, coherence and continuity • Added two criteria • Feasibility and visibility adm062010

  8. Findings • Through review of documents and interviews categorized districts into three groups based on source of the assessment tasks • Adoption Model: districts which adopted state developed assessments • Development Model: districts which have developed their own common set of assessment tasks • Benchmark Model: districts which have developed common benchmarks and scoring rubrics, but allow schools and teachers to develop their own assessment tasks adm062010

  9. Findings of Washington Districts • All districts in Washington were found to be using the Adoption Model • No other state has mandated the use of a common set of arts assessments in all districts adm062010

  12. Program Structure • Since 2001 based on Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs) Grade 8 EALR adm062010

  13. Draft Grade Level Expectations • Began in 2006 with a team of 36 art educators and leaders • Provide clarity at each grade level for each arts discipline: dancing, music, theater and visual arts • The Evidence of Learning provides a list of methods students can use to demonstrate what they have learned adm062010
