  1. Getting to the Data A Focus on Evidence

  2. Goal: Data that Informs Instruction Source: Diana Wilmot. Ph.D. Assessment Coordinator

  3. Shared Goals • Standards based instruction • Evidence based decision making • Professional Collaboration

  4. Where We Stood Last May • Data system that wasn’t super friendly • Limited district wide data

  5. Updates • New Data System • School City DMM Data Management Module • User friendly • Training on Oct 7 : Admin and TOT • Linked to eschool • All data for all students • CAHSEE • CST • CELDT • Longitudinal and current

  6. Similar but Different How

  7. Our Assessment System is Out of Balance Most Summative More Summative More Formative Most Formative California Standards Test (CST) School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) SAT College Entrance Exam District-developed Mid-Year Benchmark Assessments District teacher team developed End of Course Assessments Grade Level Team developed End of Unit Assessments Grade-level team developed common assessments District developed progress assessments Teacher developed assessments for learning Minute-to -Minute and Hour-to-Hour Classroom Assessments

  8. Benchmark Options • Buy off the shelf • Create our own • Factors in the decision • Time • Talent/Strengths • Cost • Quality • Validity and Reliability • Predictability- Scaling

  9. What should the benchmarks look like? • Different Models and philosophies • Chunked • All standards • Essential Standards • Meaningful for teachers: Inform Instruction • Allow for reteaching • Target Instruction

  10. Our Hybrid • Work with School City to create customized model- A HYBRID • 3 larger benchmarks (50 questions) October 25-30 mid Jan Early March (3-4 weeks before CST) CST mid April-May • 2 smaller progress checks (20 questions) • Early Dec • Mid Feb

  11. The Year At a Glance Progress Check 1 Progress Check 2 CST RT RT RT RT RT RT Benchmark 1 Benchmark 2 Benchmark 3

  12. Benchmarks Grades 2-6 ELA & Math 7-12 Algebra • Standards based • Essential Standards Only • 12 standards • 4-5 questions each standard • Approx 50 questions = hour • CST LIKE • Question set up • Essential Standards aligned from blueprints • Same standards for each test • “Full years instruction”

  13. Progress Checks • Standards based • Curriculum maps • Data driven (where students weren’t successful previously) • Smaller • 4-5 standards • 20 questions maximum

  14. Secondary- Other Subjects • Build our own • Released test items: ETS- folks who write questions for CST • District wide efforts • Aligned to curriculum maps and prior work

  15. Quick Check in • So what do you think?

  16. Mindset shifts • Looking at growth over time • Standards, standards, standards • Multiple Contexts • Multiple choice test isn’t the only way to test standards

  17. Decisions to be made • Windows for the rest of the tests? • Which “middle” priority standards?

  18. Testing protocols • Security • CST like? • Copies • District level • Reduce burden • Scanning • At teacher level- when scanned- available • Real time availability

  19. Clarifying the Message • Whattabouts …..
