AWMLP Fall Meeting OSPI Report – October 20th - Mike Hubert
Topics • Assessment • Revised Achievement Index / Student Growth Percentiles
Evolution to Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments in Washington
Major Milestones in Development of Summative Assessments ✔ ✔ ✔ Full system run-through; Establish performance standards; some results Early Q.C. of items & software; no student results
Smarter Balanced Field Testing • March - June 2014 • Purpose: Evaluate items and tasks for Smarter Balanced pool… • Statistical data analysis of 22,000+ items • Divide items/tasks into secure (summative) pool and open (interim) pool • Conduct standard setting for different performance levels (“cut scores”) • Sampling of about 10% of each state’s students for ELA and about 10% for math • States & Smarter Balanced developing ways to avoid double testing
Technology Requirements: Responding to School Needs • Smarter Balanced has established standards for new and existing hardware • Online “Readiness Tool” • Schools and districts can evaluate technology readiness • Schools do NOT need one-to-one computers • Illustrative example: A 600-student school can be supported by a single 30-computer lab • Smarter Balanced Readiness Calculator at: http://www3.cde.ca.gov/sbactechcalc/ • Pencil-and-paper option available for three-year transition period
Smarter Balanced Field Testing Blended model is what Washington plans to use (in grades 3-8). In September, elementary and middle schools will choose to: A. Administer current test only B. Administer field test only
Smarter Balanced Field Testing • Administering field test only (grades 3-8): • Operations • Field test will be online • All grades at a school must field test, both ELA & Math • Testing window TBD (hopefully schools will have choice of two weeks within last 12 weeks, but may be an assigned 4 week window) • Minimal info will be available for individual score reports • No direct costs to schools for field test • More information coming from Smarter Balanced in the next month
Smarter Balanced Field Testing • Administering field test only (grades 3-8): • School accountability • Percent meeting standard is carried over from state assessments in 2012-2013 • Priority, Focus, and Emerging lists to be generated in same way, but 2014 proficiency score will be duplicative of 2013 • New accountability index will be compromised because we won’t have new Student Growth Percentiles for 2013-14 (could just use same SGP for 2013 and 2014)
Testing Times for Summative Assessment The testing window is the final 12 weeks of the academic year for grades 3-8; maybe be a designated 4-6 week window for HS.
Interim Assessments and Formative Tools (Digital Library) • Interim Assessments – Ready in Fall 2014 • Available to all districts – costs covered by state • Optional use and frequency • Two types of assessments can be constructed: • Clone summative test • Target specific skills • 2014-15 will have fewer items to draw from than later years • Digital Library - Resources to be available in late Spring 2014
Digital Library Features One Stop: • The Digital Library will have links to all test engine systems through a single sign-on with user permission levels so teachers, parents, and students have access to all of the curriculum and professional learning resources. • Assessment literacy • Formative assessment resources • Links to other resources and other components of the Smarter online system • Includes resources for each grade band that address English Language Learners and Students With Disabilities Interactive Teacher Space • Opportunities to keep journals of practices • Key words or phrases in the journals will generate suggested lists of resources. • Record resources consulted and suggest others. • Teachers can request resources matched to student assessment results.
Accommodations – 2013-14 for current state tests • New “Access Supports and Accommodations Guidelines for State Assessments” coming soon • Current framework includes: • Who • Accommodations for students with disabilities • Accommodations for English language learners • Access Supports (formerly Universal Accommodations) • What • Presentation • Response • Setting • Timing and Scheduling
Current Resources for Communities and Families • NEW! The Common Core State Standards: An Introduction for Families and Other Stakeholders (from the Aspen Institute) http://www.aspeninstitute.org/publications/common-core-state-standards-introduction-families-other-stakeholders • Flyers in Spanish and English for download • OSPI’s CCSS Web Site: http://www.k12.wa.us/CoreStandards/Families/default.aspx • Links to: • National PTA Parent Guides • Parent Roadmaps to the CCSS – from the Council for Great City Schools
Resources for District/Building Transitions • “System” Readiness and Action Guides • OSPI’s District Professional Learning System Readiness Assessment: Implementing the CCSS (http://www.k12.wa.us/CoreStandards/pubdocs/CCSSReadiness5-23-12.pdf) • Achieve’s Implementing the CCSS Action Briefs (http://www.achieve.org/publications) • The Role of the Elementary / Secondary School Leaders / Counselors • Considering Instructional Materials • OSPI Instructional Materials Web Sitehttp://www.k12.wa.us/CurriculumInstruct/InstructionalMaterialsReview.aspx • CCSS Publisher’s Criteria – ELA and Math (http://engageny.org/resource/publishers-criteria-for-elaliteracy-and-math/) • EQuipReview Rubrics and Process (http://engageny.org/resource/tri-state-quality-review-rubric-and-rating-process/)
Student Growth Percentiles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e_j9QwjVWk&feature=player_embedded
What is an Academic Peer? • The Washington Growth Model measures student growth by taking • account of where a student starts and uses WCAP results for all • Washington students in a given content area and grade to quantify each • student's annual progress. The resulting metric is called a student • growth percentile. Similar to height and weight percentiles used to • describe the relative height and weight of an infant as compared to other • infants of the same sex and age, a student growth percentile describes • the relative academic growth a student made compared to other students • with the same achievement history|their academic peers. Academic • peers are not an actual set of students but are constructed using all the • state's data.
