  4. State Testing Update …an object in motion stays in motion

  5. Newton was right…..

  6. I hope you enjoyed the assessment calm of 2013-14….

  7. There is a larger wave on the horizon…. 2013-14 is our year to prepare.

  8. Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (WaKIDS) • Doubling the number of students assessed by WaKIDS • Three parts of WaKIDS: family connection, whole-child assessment (Gold), early learning collaboration • Can use up to three days (of 180) for WaKIDS family connection • Fall data from GOLD due Oct. 31 • Implementation grants available

  9. A Balanced Assessment System Summative: College and career readiness assessments for accountability Teachers and schools have information and tools they need to improve teaching and learning Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready Formative resources: Supporting classroom-based assessments to improve instruction Interim: Flexible and open assessments, used for actionable feedback

  10. A Balanced Assessment System English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, Grades 3-8 and High School School Year Last 12 weeks of the year* DIGITAL CLEARINGHOUSE OF FORMATIVE TOOLS, PROCESSES AND EXEMPLARS Released items and tasks; Model curriculum units; Educator training; Professional development tools and resources; Scorer training modules; Teacher collaboration tools; Evaluation of publishers’ assessments. Optional Interim Assessment Optional Interim Assessment • PERFORMANCE TASKS • ELA/Literacy • Mathematics • COMPUTER ADAPTIVE TESTS • ELA/Literacy • Mathematics Computer Adaptive Assessment and Performance Tasks Computer Adaptive Assessment and Performance Tasks Re-take option Scope, sequence, number and timing of interim assessments locally determined *Time windows may be adjusted based on results from the research agenda and final implementation decisions.

  11. “Not just another test”…Smarter Balanced is being built by states for states • Preparing your students for a changing world 1 • Supporting teachers with a suite of resources 2 • Connecting learning to life after high school 3 • Providing information to guide student growth 4 • Keeping educators in the driver’s seat 5

  12. Major Milestones in Development of Summative Assessments ✔ ✔ ✔ Full system run-through; Establish performance standards; some results Early Q.C. of items & software; no student results

  13. Technology Requirements: Responding to School Needs • Smarter states have established standards for new and existing hardware • Online “Readiness Tool” • Schools and districts can evaluate technology readiness • Schools do NOT need one-to-one computers • Illustrative example: A 600-student school can be supported by a single 30-computer lab • Smarter Balanced Readiness Calculator at: http://www3.cde.ca.gov/sbactechcalc/ • Pencil-and-paper option available for three-year transition period

  14. Let’s Peek Under the Hood…The Smarter Balanced Practice Test Practice Test Link http://sbac.portal.airast.org/practice-test/ Shows item types and tools/features Now available; Released May 29 Expanded features being released over the summer, including Scoring Guides

  15. Smarter Balanced Timeline – Washington’s Involvement (http://www.k12.wa.us/SMARTER/default.aspx) • OSPI staff involved in workgroups 2010-2014 • Teachers involved in item writing • Sample Items and Performance Tasks – October 2012 (view the OSPI webinar!) • Piloted in Spring 2013 • Practice Tests widely available • Digital Library - State Network of Educators (92 from Washington) will begin vetting resources to populate the library starting Fall 2013 • Vetted resources to be available in late Spring 2014 • Comprehensive field test in 2013-14 • Operational use in 2014-15

  16. Evolution to Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments in Washington

  17. HS Testing for Graduation (new June 30) Graduation Assessment Requirements • Classes of 2013 and 2014 • HSPE Reading, HSPE Writing, 1 EOC Math • Classes of 2015 – 2018 • ELA exit exam, 1 EOC Math exit exam, EOC Biology • Class of 2019 and beyond • College and Career Ready Tests in ELA, Math, Science (Biology or NGSS)

  18. Assessment High School Graduation Requirements by Class

  19. Summative Assessments in 2014–15 and beyond

  20. 2013 Legislative Decisions RegardingHigh School Assessments • Accountability will move to Grade 11 Smarter Balanced tests in 2014-15: English Language Arts & Math • Three Exit Exams (ELA, Math, Biology): • English Language Arts: • Class of 2013 & 2014 • HSPE Reading and Writing • Class of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 • HSPE Reading and Writing, • OR new 11th Smarter Balanced ELA Test, • OR new 10th ELA Exit Exam • Class of 2019 and beyond • 11th Smarter Balanced ELA Test

  21. 2013 Legislative Decisions RegardingHigh School Assessments, Cont’d • Math: • Class of 2013 & 2014 • Algebra 1 EOC OR Geometry EOC • Class of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 • Algebra 1 EOC, • OR Geometry EOC, • OR new 11th Smarter Balanced Comprehensive Math Test, • OR new Algebra 1 EOC Exit Exam, • OR new Geometry EOC Exit Exam • Class of 2019 and beyond - 11th Smarter Balanced Math Test

  22. 2013 Legislative Decisions RegardingHigh School Assessments, Cont’d • Science: • Class of 2015, 2016, 2017…. until Next Generation Science Standards are adopted, implemented and assessed – Biology EOC • When NGSS are implemented – Comprehensive NGSS Test • Certificate of Academic Achievement options remain available for all cohorts, with the addition of Biology COE

  23. DRAFT – PLEASE Do NOT Distribute

  24. What’s Happening This Year, 2013-14? • Exit exams remain the same (HSPE, EOC) • CAA options remain the same, except • New Biology COE ready for June 2014 submission for Class of 2015 and beyond (only after two attempts on Biology EOC) • Class of 2013 had some relaxation of Collection of Evidence rules that had been newly implemented – these will not continue (COE is limited to one submission per content area throughout HS, and requires two attempts on general assessment before submitting) • Schools will be recruited for Smarter Balanced field test • Trying to avoid students having to take current test AND field test

  25. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • March - June 2014 • Purpose: Evaluate items and tasks for Smarter Balanced pool… • Statistical data analysis of 22,000+ items • Divide items/tasks into secure (summative) pool and open (interim) pool • Conduct standard setting for different performance levels (“cut scores”) • Sampling of about 10% of each state’s students for ELA and about 10% for math • States & Smarter Balanced developing ways to avoid double testing

  26. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • US Dept of Ed is allowing states to participate in the Smarter Balanced field test in 2013-14 in one of several ways (pending ESEA Waiver approval): • Students take current state tests and field tests (double testing), with school accountability coming from current state tests • Students take only field test, with school accountability coming from field tests (early adoption states – not Washington) • Blended model where some schools take current test only and some schools take field test only • If only field testing, school accountability is carried over from 2012-2013

  27. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • Blended model is what Washington plans to use (in grades 3-8). • In September, elementary and middle schools will choose to: A. Administer current test only B. Administer field test only

  28. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • Administering field test only (grades 3-8): • Operations • Field test will be online • All grades at a school must field test, both ELA & Math • Testing window TBD (hopefully schools will have choice of two weeks within last 12 weeks, but may be an assigned 4 week window) • Minimal info will be available for individual score reports • No direct costs to schools for field test • More information coming from Smarter Balanced in the next month

  29. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • Administering field test only (grades 3-8): • School accountability • Percent meeting standard is carried over from state assessments in 2012-2013 • Priority, Focus, and Emerging lists to be generated in same way, but 2014 proficiency score will be duplicative of 2013 • New accountability index will be compromised because we won’t have new Student Growth Percentiles for 2013-14 (could just use same SGP for 2013 and 2014)

  30. Smarter Balanced Field Testing • What about in High Schools? • All students need access to current tests (HSPEs & EOCs) for graduation • All 10thgraders will take Reading and Writing HSPE • All 10thgraders will take Year 1 Math EOC (unless previously passed) • All 10th graders will take Biology EOC (unless previously passed) • Students who have previously not met standard can retake any or all • Field testing on Smarter Balanced CCR is available for all grades (Math and or ELA) – mostly need 11th graders to field test, or students who have already fulfilled assessment graduation requirements • Field test will be online • Testing window TBD (hopefully schools will have choice of two weeks within last 12 weeks) • Minimal info will be available for individual score reports • No direct costs to schools for field test • More information coming from Smarter Balanced in the next month

  31. Testing Times for Summative Assessment The testing window is the final 12 weeks of the academic year for grades 3-8; maybe be a designated 4-6 week window for HS.

  32. Interim Assessments and Formative Tools (Digital Library) • Interim Assessments – Ready in Fall 2014 • Available to all districts – costs covered by state • Optional use and frequency • Two types of assessments can be constructed: • Clone summative test • Target specific skills • 2014-15 will have fewer items to draw from than later years • Digital Library - Resources to be available in late Spring 2014

  33. Digital Library Features One Stop: • The Digital Library will have links to all test engine systems through a single sign-on with user permission levels so teachers, parents, and students have access to all of the curriculum and professional learning resources. • Assessment literacy • Formative assessment resources • Links to other resources and other components of the Smarter online system • Includes resources for each grade band that address English Language Learners and Students With Disabilities Interactive Teacher Space • Opportunities to keep journals of practices • Key words or phrases in the journals will generate suggested lists of resources. • Record resources consulted and suggest others. • Teachers can request resources matched to student assessment results.

  34. Accommodations – Smarter Balanced Framework (DRAFT)

  35. Accommodations – 2013-14 for current state tests • New “Access Supports and Accommodations Guidelines for State Assessments” coming soon • Current framework includes: • Who • Accommodations for students with disabilities • Accommodations for English language learners • Access Supports (formerly Universal Accommodations) • What • Presentation • Response • Setting • Timing and Scheduling

  36. Students with Severe Cognitive Disabilities • Smarter Balanced tests are designed to more appropriately assess students with disabilities • Computer adaptive • Accommodations • Students with significant cognitive challenges will still need a different assessment • Common Core Essential Elements • Transition from extensions

  37. Assessments are Tied to Current Learning Standards Current State Learning Standards Current General Assessments (MSP, HSPE, EOC) Extensions of Learning Standards WAAS-Portfolio

  38. Assessments will be Tied to New Learning Standards 2015-16 Dynamic Learning Maps Common Core State Standards Smarter Balanced Assessments 2014-15 and beyond Common Core Essential Elements 2014-15 Transitional Portfolio Extensions of CCEE (learning map nodes)

  39. Common Core Essential Elements: • The CCEEs are statements of knowledge and skills linked to the grade-level expectations identified in the Common Core State Standards. • The CCEEs create comparable expectations for students with significant cognitive disabilities.

  40. WAAS-Portfolio 2013-14 • Quite successful year of implementation for WAAS-Portfolio last year; we expect the same this year as we transition to the Common Core State Standards. OSPI Staff Support: • Full online training modules • Exemplars for extensions aligned with the CCSS • Regional training in partnership with WEA • Email (WAAS inbox) and phone support • WAAS Listserv
