  1. CMT/CAPT report 2011

  2. CMT State Trends Scores across the state generally better 6th year of administration of 4th Generation Test The state is still struggling with an achievement gap in a number of subgroups including gender, eligible for free/reduced lunch, ethnicity, ELL status, and special education A growing number of students are assessed using a Modified Assessment and Skills Checklist due to students’ Individual Education Plan

  3. CAPT State Trends Improvements in most content areas but slight decreases in Reading and flat performance in science 5th year of administration for the 3rd Generation of the test Continued evidence of persistent achievement gaps in all subgroups

  4. Student performance levels Advanced Goal Proficient Basic Below Basic Federal Adequate Yearly Progress measures students performing at Proficient (or better)

  5. Adequate Yearly Progress targets Targets just bumped up for 2010-11 CMT Reading: 89% proficient or better CMT Math: 91% proficient or better CAPT Reading: 91% proficient or better CAPT Math: 90% proficient or better Goal is 100% proficient or better by 2013-14 (includes a “confidence interval”)

  6. CMT Math content strands Numerical and Proportional Reasoning Algebraic Reasoning: Patterns & Functions Geometry & Measurement Working with Data: Probability & Statistics Number of Assessed strands in each grade level varies from 18-23 of 25 possible areas

  7. CAPT Math Strands Assesses how well students can compute and estimate, solve problems, and communicate their understanding Application and problem-solving, not solely computation Only 24 multiple choice items and 8 open-ended items

  8. CMT Reading Strands • All grades assessed in Degrees of Reading Power (a measure of comprehension) • Reading comprehension strands • General understanding • Developing Interpretation • Reader/Text Connection • Examining Content/structure

  9. CAPT Reading Strands • Response to Literature • Read a short story and respond to four questions • Reading for Information • Read three non-fiction articles and answer multiple choice or short answer questions

  10. CMT Writing Strands • All grades assessed in • Composing and revising (direct assessment of writing)—the prompt • Editing & Revising • Modes of writing for prompt • Narrative (grades 3 & 4) • Expository (grades 5 & 6) • Persuasive (grades 7 & 8)

  11. CAPT Writing • Interdisciplinary Writing • Write a persuasive essay based on information from two articles provided on a topic • Editing and Revising

  12. CMT Science Life Science Physical Science Earth Science Content Knowledge Scientific Inquiry, Literacy, and Numeracy Only 39 questions

  13. CAPT Science Energy Transformations Chemical Structures and Properties Global Interdependence Cell Chemistry and Biotechnology Genetics, Evolution and Biodiversity Conceptual Understanding Scientific Inquiry, Literacy, and Numeracy

  14. Grade 3-District Math: 88.4% at or above proficient (+0.8%) Reading: 71.6% at or above proficient (-4.2) Writing: 83.4% at or above proficient (+2.6) Math: 94.8% (FB), 91.5% (E) proficient, range 94.8 to 77.5 (SW) All Reading scores weak: range 59.2 (VO) to 79.5 (TF) Writing: 91.9% (FB), 91.7% (E), range 91.9 to 77.1 (VO)

  15. Grade 4-district Math: 87.3% at or above proficient (+0.2%) Reading: 79% at or above proficient (+2.3) Writing: 85.7% at or above proficient (-1.7) Math: 92.3% (VO), 90.8% (E), 90.7% (SW) proficient, range 92.4 to 80.4 (FB) Reading: +21.4 at VO, range narrowed to 84.2 to 76.2 Writing: 96.6% (FB), range 96.6 to 78.2 (VO)

  16. Grade 5-district Math: 94.9% at or above proficient (+2.9%) Reading: 84.3% at or above proficient (+2.5) Writing: 93.7% at or above proficient (+1.8) Science: 86.7 at or above proficient (-1.9) Math: 96.6% (TF), 95.3% (E) proficient, range 96.6 to 91.4 (FB, +12.6) Reading: range 93.8(VO) to 79.6 (FB) Writing: 100% at East-2nd yr, range 100 to 86.7 (SW)

  17. Grade 6 Math: 90% at or above proficient (-3%) Reading: 90.7% at or above proficient (+6%) Writing: 84.7% at or above proficient (-0.5%)

  18. Grade 7 Math: 90.6% at or above proficient (+0.7%) Reading: 90.1% at or above proficient (+9.2%) Writing: 73.1% at or above proficient (-1.3%)

  19. Grade 8 Math: 83.8% at or above proficient (-2.4%) Reading: 85.3% at or above proficient (+11.4%) Writing: 72.3% at or above proficient (-4.6%) Science: 68.8% at or above proficient (-7.6%)

  20. CMT Greatest concerns Grade 3 Reading (weak across the board) Middle school writing (declines each grade up) Drop in Science in Grade 8 Up to a 2 point fluctuation is not significant (+ or -) Ten point change considered dramatic Differences in grade level expectations—different items tested. Vertical scale scores only available for Math and Reading.

  21. CAPT Grade 10 Math: 72.4 % proficient or above (-2.1%) Science: 76 % proficient or above (-7.3) Reading Across the Disciplines: 74.8 % (-6.3) Writing Across the Disciplines: 82.5% (-0.3) Declines in every area (writing negligible) Over last five years, Math consistently in 70’s, Writing in 80’s, Reading and Science fluctuate between 74-83% proficient-flat

  22. Next steps All teachers need to be aware of what standards are assessed on the CMT and CAPT All teachers need to understand the format of the testing Additional curriculum work needs to be done to better align district curriculum with state standards Instruction needs to provide students with meaningful and relevant experiences to allow them to practice the content and skills on which they will be assessed Teachers need time to drill down into the data to determine what specific areas are in need of improvement in order to change and improve curriculum and instruction

  23. Further information Public Summary Performance Reports available through: http://www.ctreports.com/ A wide variety of reports, graphs, and data files are available to look at current performance, performance over time, and compare to other districts School reports posted on the website contain performance information including proficiency, school-state gaps, % or students who maintained, improved or declined in performance level from the previous year, and more
