  11. What’s Being Assessed? • Populations assessed: • Participation • Supported Independence • Functional Independence

  12. What’s Being Assessed? • Content areas assessed for each population: • English Language Arts (Grade 11) • Mathematics (Grade 11) • Science (Grade 11)

  14. Participation and Supported Independence (P/SI) Linda HowleyInterim Assessment Consultantfor Students with DisabilitiesOffice of Educational Assessment & Accountability

  15. Participation and Supported Independence • Student Populations • Content Areas • Assessment Booklets • Item Formats • Scoring Rubrics

  16. Participation • Students who have, or function as if they have, severe or profound cognitive impairment

  17. Participation • Expected to require extensive ongoing support in adulthood and may have significant cognitive and/or physical impairments that limit their ability to generalize or transfer learning • Dependent on others for most, if not all, daily living needs

  18. Participation • The instructional approach for these students targets opportunities for them to integrate into age-appropriate tasks, activities related to daily living skills, and academic content

  19. Supported Independence • Students who have, or function as if they have, moderate cognitive impairment

  20. Supported Independence • Will require ongoing support in major life roles and may have cognitive and/or physical impairments that limit their ability to generalize or transfer learning

  21. Supported Independence • Instructional approach is direct, in context, and targeted toward specific, essential independent living and academic skills

  22. Supported Independence • Working toward mastering daily living and employment routines and an acceptable level of independent living

  31. Item Development • Core items count toward the student’s score • Embedded items are for field testing ONLY

  32. Item Types and Formats • Selected Response/Multiple Choice • FI: 3 choices-text and/or graphics • SI: 3 choices-graphics • P: 2 choices-graphics

  33. Item Types and Formats • Observation/Activity • Many items use an activity-based observation format • Paper and pencil tests aren’t appropriate

  34. Participation and Supported Independence • Selected-response items use PICTURE answer choices or PICTURES PAIRED WITH WORDS to improve access

  35. Selected-response • ELA, mathematics, and science have selected-response items • ALL selected-response items administered the same way

  37. Selected-response • ONE set of picture cards will be shipped to each TEACHER based on: • content area (P/SI ELA and Mathematics OR P/SI Science) • grades being assessed

  38. Picture Cards • Picture cards are presented in very specific ways • Read manual sections on the different presentation styles • Watch presentation styles in online learning program

  39. Selected-response • Two reasons for picture cards: 1. Not practical for students to look at pictures in an assessment booklet.
