  6. Student Growth Model • A growth model describes change in student achievement across time. • A student growth percentile (SGP) describes a student’s growth relative to other students statewide with similar prior achievement. Click here to see video on Georgia’s SGM. Located in Infinite Campus on the SLDS link

  7. Grade 4 Math SGM Coweta Meets/Exceeds 87% Median Growth Percentile 48.0 N = 1545

  8. Grade 5 Math SGM Coweta Meets/Exceeds 94% Median Growth Percentile 47.0 N = 1520

  9. Grade 6 Math SGM Coweta Meets/Exceeds 89% Median Growth Percentile 68 N = 1553

  10. Grade 7 Math SGM Coweta Meets/Exceeds 93% Median Growth Percentile 51.0 N = 1592

  11. Grade 8 Math SGM Coweta Meets/Exceeds 91% Median Growth Percentile 57.0 N = 1538

  12. Coordinate Algebra SGM Coweta Meets/Exceeds 44% Median Growth Percentile 63.0 N = 1789

  13. Student Growth Assessments • The primary purpose of the Student Growth Assessments (SGAs) process is to improve student learning at the classroom level.  • An equally important purpose of SGAs is to provide evidence of each teacher’s instructional impact on student learning.  • Coweta math SGAs were locally developed and made available for review/comment/revision during the 2013-2014 school year.

  14. Milestones • A milestone is one of a series of numbered markers placed along a road at intervals of one mile. • Milestones are constructed to provide reference points along the road. • This can be used to reassure travelers that the proper path is being followed, and to indicate either distance travelled or the remaining distance to a destination. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milestone

  15. Georgia Milestones • Georgia Milestones represents a significant change and importantly – an opportunity– for our state. • This opportunity allows us to recalibrate, as a state, and refocus on teaching and learningas a primary emphasis with assessment and accountability serving a supporting role. Blended Criterion-Referenced and Norm-Referenced Criterion-referenced measures mastery of state standards Norm-referenced provides comparison to peers nationally

  16. Milestones Tested Subjects Grades 3 – 8: End of Grade (EOG) High School: End of Course (EOC) • Language Arts • Mathematics • Science • Social Studies • 9th Lit/Comp • American Lit/Comp • Coordinate Algebra • Analytic Geometry • Physical Science • Biology • U.S. History • Economics

  17. Features Included in Georgia Milestones • Constructed-response items in ELA and mathematics, in addition to selected-response items • A writing component (in response to text) at every grade level and course within the ELA assessment; • Norm-referenced items in every grade and content area to complement the criterion-referenced information and to provide a national comparison; and • Transition to online administration over time, with online administration considered the primary mode of administration and paper-pencil back-up until transition is completed. Addition of technology-enhanced items beginning in 2016-2017.

  18. Item Types Included in Milestones • Selected-Response in all content areas • Constructed-Responsein ELA and mathematics • Extended-Responsein ELA and mathematics • Technology Enhanced to begin in 2016-2017 • Demo of Online Platform • Access at http://learnoas.ctb.com/GACRCT/ • Click on any one of the tests to open the sample test page. • Click on “Start the test” at the top of the web page. • Click on “Login”. No credentials are required. • Note – this demo was designed for the CRCT Retest in mind so the tests • that you will see are for Grades 3, 5, and 8 in Reading and Math.

  19. Constructed vs. Extended Response Items Extended Response Constructed Response A general term for assessment items that require the student to generate a response as opposed to selecting a response Require more elaborate answers and explanations of reasoning; they allow for multiple correct answers and/or varying methods of arriving at the correct answer. Performance tasks are examples of extended-response items.

  20. Performance Pitfalls • Students are not familiar with these types of items. • Many respond “IDK” – as in “I don’t know”. • They don’t seem to understand the need to show their work, detail their thoughts, rationales, cite evidence to support their answer or claim. • Their tendency is to cite the answer only – as if a multiple-choice item. • Students don’t read carefully and answer all parts of the question/item.

  21. Strategy for Improving Performance A… Answer the problem. C… Compute your work. E … Explain how you got your answer.

  22. Implementing ACE Introduce the ACE concept to students. • Go over poster; hang in classroom. • Have students set up space in their IMN. • Do a constructed response item together. • Problem • Student works; evaluates. • Peer evaluates. • Problem • Student works; evaluates. • Peer evaluates. • Problem • Student works; evaluates. • Peer evaluates. • Teacher evaluates; charts. • Student reflects.

  23. Chart Class Progress – Set Class Goal GOAL: All students in our class will score a 3 or 4 on the math rubric by November 2014!

  24. Resources Available NOW • Content standards Frameworks, formative lessons, PARCC evidence statements • Sample items • Formative items/benchmarks via Georgia OAS  GOFAR • Released items from … • PARCC • SBAC • Other states (e.g., KY, NY) • NAEP

  25. Resources Available SOON • Sample items specific to Georgia Milestones • Ancillary support resources, such as • Content Descriptions (test blueprints) • Student Study Guides • Technology Specifications • Accommodations Guidelines • Assessment for Learning Modules [types of items to elicit evidence of student learning] • Informational videos [for parents and public as well as educators] Focus on teaching and learning – eliciting evidence of student learning during instruction and adjusting as needed.

  26. Textbooks If you have enough you can use …

  27. Textbooks • Bulk upload of students has been done • Online resources are available for you, students, parents • Any textbook needs?
