  1. How the Assessment System Works Required Training Module 4

  2. Learning Objectives • Assessment system design • Content • Types of assessment • Test design • Testlet delivery • Test results

  3. Assessment System Design

  4. Content of the Assessment • Grades 3-8 and high school • English Language Arts (ELA) • Mathematics • Blueprints

  5. Types of Assessment Spring (End of Year) Instructionally Embedded Optional – teachers select the EE Responses do not factor into final results for summative purposes • Required • Cover the full blueprint • Results used for summative purposes 2014-15: Several field test opportunities

  6. Test Design • Each testlet contains items from one or more Essential Elements • Math and reading: • 3-8 items + engagement activity • Total of 6-7 testlets (math) • Total of 4-6 testlets (ELA) • Writing: • Structured activity with several steps • Single testlet

  7. Testlet Delivery System has testlets available at all 5 linkage levels for every part of the test Students take one testlet from one level for each group System determines which level to deliver to the student

  8. Testlet Delivery

  9. Testlet Delivery

  10. How Testlets Are Assigned

  11. Instructionally Embedded Assessments • Fall – Early Spring • OPTIONAL instructionally embedded testlets • Each covers a single EE and linkage level • Available in Educator Portal

  12. What an instructionally embedded testlet looks like • ELA • Each testlet aligns to a single EE • 3-5 items per testlet • Built around a grade level appropriate text • Engagement activity is the first read of the text • 10-15 minutes to complete one testlet • Mathematics • Each testlet aligns to a single EE • 3-5 items per testlet • Engagement activity sparks prior knowledge • 5-10 minutes to complete one testlet

  13. Assessment Results

  14. Results • Will be based on mastery of EEs and linkage levels assessed • From ONLY year-end assessments • Summative scores based on all EEs covered in the blueprint • WILL NOT incorporate any scores from the optional instructionally embedded assessment

  15. Score Reports • Will be provided at individual student level • Will include multiple levels of information • Essential Element mastery • Conceptual area summary • Overall performance
