  1. Welcome to the December Administrators’ RTTT Webex! December 21, 2012

  2. Outcomes: • Describe the key details of the Math and ELA assessment transitions (3-8) • Explain the Dignity for All Students Act • Describe the resources that have been added to the engageNY site

  3. Outcomes: • Describe resources that have been added to the Principals’ Center site • Explain updates on the Literacy and Math Task work

  4. Key Details of the Math Assessment (3-8) Transitions: • Focus: Priority standards will be the focus of the assessments--other standards will be deemphasized

  5. Key Details of the Math Assessment (3-8) Transitions: • Coherence: progression of content and concepts

  6. Key Details of the Math Assessment (3-8) Transitions: • Fluency: will not be assessed--it will be assumed that students possess the required fluencies • No calculators in grades 6 and below—possibly 8 and below

  7. Key Details of the Math Assessment Transitions: • Deep Understanding: standards will be assessed from multiple perspectives • ensuring and dictating standards in multiple ways while not veering from primary target of measurement in standards • fewer vocabulary questions

  8. Key Details of the Math Assessment Transitions: • Application and Dual Intensity: • students will be expected to know grade level math content with fluency • Students will be expected to know math concepts to employ to solve real world math problems

  9. Key Details of the ELA Assessment Transitions: • Balancing Informational and Literary Texts: Passages will be authentic and balanced across informational and literary texts • Knowledge in the Content Areas: • Assessments will contain knowledge based questions about the informational text • Students will not need outside knowledge to respond • Students will be expected to read informational texts from content domains and respond in writing

  10. Key Details of the ELA Assessment Transitions: • Staircase of Complexity: passage selection will be based on appropriate grade level • Text-based Responses: questions will require students to gather evidence from text

  11. Key Details of the ELA Assessment Transitions: • Academic Vocabulary: • Students will need to be strategic in solving words contextually • Students will be tested indirectly through general comprehension of the text • Fluency in academic vocabulary is expected
