S1/S2 Baseline Assessment (MidYIS): Developed Ability Computer adaptive or paper-based Any time Term 1 + catch ups Baseline Feedback after 2 hours (computer adaptive) / 2-3 weeks (paper) Predictions and Value Added to Scottish Qualifications The Systems End S2 Curriculum-based Assessments (SOSCA): Based on Curriculum for Excellence Computer adaptive Four week assessment windowmid April to mid May + catch ups Feedback early June Lower and upper school Value Added measures
Assessment for Excellence: Secondary S1/S2 Baseline Assessment (MidYIS) + End S2 Curriculum-based Assessments (SOSCA) Can be used INDIVIDUALLY or better still COMBINED What pupils know VS what they can do High Ability or Hard Work? Low Ability or Underachievement?
The Systems - Computer Adaptive Assessment Adaptive Assessment: • Questions adapt to pupil • Efficient • No time Wasting • Wider Ability Range • More Enjoyable • Green
The Systems - Computer Adaptive Assessment Running the Computer Adaptive Assessments: 1. Send us a CSV file of your pupils’ details 2. Set up software - internet or intranet (LAN) 3. Run the assessments 4. Send us assessment results files (if doing LAN based version)
The Systems - Computer Adaptive Assessment Required Specification Adaptive for each pupil and delivered by computer:

Feedback Overview Prompt Feedback: • Assessment Feedback - Standardised Scores and Quartile Bands • Predictions & Chances Graphs for <Standard Grade / Int 2> • Value Added to: - S2 Curriculum-based Assessments - <Standard Grade / Int 2> • Attitudes to Science (End S2 Assessments)
Feedback • Feedback can be used at the pupil, class and cohort level. • to guide individuals • to monitor pupil progress • to monitor subject-wide and department level progress • For classroom teachers, Head teachers or SMT as a quality assurance tool • Data can be aggregated at other levels. We support & provide software tools to help schools to do this e.g. Paris software
Feedback: MidYIS S1 Baseline: IPRs Strong in Vocabulary, Maths and Skills Poor performance in Non Verbal Significantly less able in Non Verbal
Feedback: S2 Curriculum-based IPRs Average Reading Generally better than average Maths Above average Science But what is this pupil’s underlying ability like? What is their starting point?
Feedback: MidYIS S1 IPRs But what is this pupil’s underlying ability like? What is their starting point? • An overachiever in Maths and Science? • Perhaps Reading more in line with underlying ability?
Predictions Feedback How do these predictions compare to the predictions from the baseline assessment?
Value Added: Scatter Charts Identify: • over performance • under performance • keeping up
Value Added: Subject Performance From MidYIS/SOSCA to Standard Grade and others e.g. Intermediate 2 From Pips/MidYIS to SOSCA (as applicable)
