2. Why P/SI v1.5? • June 2006 letter from USED – Original P/SI did not: • Explicitly measure Michigan’s ELA or Mathematics content standards • Report scores separately by content area

3. Why P/SI v1.5? • P/SI for 2005/2006 • Participating but not Proficient • Required development of new, content-area specific assessments for 2006/2007 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

5. P/SI v1.5 vs. Original P/SI • Increased standardization • Structured, on-demand activity item format • Measure content areas explicitly • Scoring • Rubric • 2 Assessment Administrators

11. P/SI v1.5 Draft EGLCE/EB • Explicitly measuring English Language Arts • EGLCE/EB for P and SI (FI) • Linked to GLCE/EB (general education) • Strands and Domains • GLCE/EB to EGLCE/EB to Item

12. P/SI v1.5 Draft EGLCE/EB • P/SI ELA and Mathematics Assessment Plan Writing Team (APWT) • Using FI EGLCE/EB, extended for SI and P • Reduced depth, breadth, and complexity

13. Item Difficulty and Complexity • Difficulty and/or Complexity increase in two ways • EGLCE/EB across grade spans • Same EGLCE/EB in all grade spans, but number of trials increases

14. Performance Contexts v Isolation • Looking for English language arts routinely use during instruction

15. P/SI v1.5 Draft EGLCE/EB • MI-Access Team • Draft P/SI EGLCE linked to version 12.05 of GLCE for grades 3-8 • Linked to Benchmarks for grade 11 • OSI ELA Consultant • Strand and Domain

16. English Language Arts EGLCE and EB • Elementary and middle school-solid links in most domains • High School- working on linking to the new ELA high school expectations

18. P/SI v1.5 Draft EGLCE/EB Field Review • Focused Field Review by APWT • September 25-26 • General Field Review of Draft ELA and Mathematics EGLCE and EB (P/SI) and Draft Science EB (FI/SI/P) • October 2 – January 5, 2006 Online Survey www.mi.gov/mi-access

19. GLCE: S.CN.04.02 Adjust their use of language to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes (e.g., community–building, appreciation/ invitations, crass-curricular discussions.

Scoring Focus: Identifying frequently encountered words related to a task.

23. Administration Considerations • Words/Pictures • Selecting 1 from a set of 4 • Selection 2 from a set of 4 • Selecting 3 from a set of 6

24. Selecting 1 Word from a Set of 4 • Presented with all 4 words visually accessible at one time • Assessed using a “yes/no” response by presenting each word beginning with an unrelated and moving to a related

25. Selecting 2 Words from a Set of 4 • Presented with all 4 words visually accessible at one time.

26. Selecting 2 Words from a Set of 4 • Assessed using a “yes/no” response • Presenting 2 sets of 2 words (one related and one unrelated in each set).

27. Selecting 3 Words from a Set of 6 • Presented with all 6 words visually accessible at one time • Assessed using a “yes/no” response by presenting 3 sets of 2 words (one related and one unrelated in each set).
