Transitioning to Smarter Balanced Math Assessments in Oregon

1. Planning the Transition from OAKS to Smarter Balanced Overview of Mathematics Content Shift from Oregon to Common Core Standards Jim Leigh and Rachel AazzerahMathematics and Science Assessment SpecialistsOffice of Assessment and Information ServicesOregon Department of Education Mark Freed Mathematics Education Specialist Office of Educational Innovation and Improvement Oregon Department of Education Oregon Department of Education Office of Assessment and Accountability

2. Phases of Transition in Oregon • 1. Awareness & UnderstandingUnderstanding CCSS Content and Organization 2. TransitionComparing CCSS to Oregon Standards, district curricula, and instructional materials • 3. ActionImplementing CCSS in the classroom • Math resource page http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?=3403 • CCSS Oregon Home Page and Toolkit • http://www.ode.state.or.us/go/commoncore Oregon Department of Education

3. Where are you? • Talk to a neighbor about where you and your school are in the transition (1 minute each) • Share something interesting (3 minutes) • 0-5 Hold up hands: • Where are you personally? Oregon Department of Education

4. Smarter Balanced Math Assessment Charged with assessing the Common Core State Standards, in math Smarter Balanced will assess: • The content standards and • The Mathematical Practice Standards Items will be written to assess four claims: • Concepts and Procedures, • Problem Solving, • Communicating Reasoning, and • Modeling and Data Analysis. Oregon Department of Education

5. Transition Resources Mathematics Content will shift among the grades due to the change of standards, and new content will be introduced. Tools to help make sense of this transition: • Common Core State Standards and Oregon Crosswalk document from ODE website • Provides important detail for further study of the CCSS content at each grade • Transition from OAKS to Smarter Balanced Assessment document to illustrate movement of current curricular topics and introduction of new content • Indicates where materials could be going to, or coming from, to help with collaboration • Indicates where new content or pedagogy will surface to help plan further professional development • Smarter Balanced documents, as they become available • Content Specifications • Item Specifications • Test Specifications • When final documents are available: • Chart to explain the overview of new Smarter Assessment for mathematics • Samples of items with targets which could be used to assess each of the four mathematics claims Oregon Department of Education Office of Assessment and Accountability

6. Mathematics and English Language ArtsAssessment by Year • OAKS • Reading based on 2002 ELA Content Standards • Writing based on current scoring guide • Mathematics based on 2007/2009 Math Content Standards • Smarter Balanced Assessment • Based on Common Core State Standards adopted by Oregon in 2010 Oregon Department of Education Office of Assessment and Accountability

7. Crosswalk Documents In 2010, ODE provided crosswalks between Oregon’s content standards and the new Common Core State Standards. • English Language Arts:  www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=3356 • Mathematics:  • www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=3211 • Based on detailed information from the mathematics crosswalk, ODE has developed documents mapping the “movement” of mathematics content. (http://www.ode.state.or.us/wma/teachlearn/commoncore/transition-from-oaks-to-smarter.pdf • The following is an example for grade 5: Oregon Department of Education Office of Assessment and Accountability

8. Interpreting the Charts Content from 5.2.5 will be assessed in grades 4, 5, 6. All content from 5.2.6 moves to grade 4. All content from 5.3.2 moves to grade 6. • All content from 5.3.4 remains in grade 5. Oregon Department of Education Office of Assessment and Accountability

9. Some general suggestions: I. When content is assessed in the same grade: study the CCSS to ensure students engage with all content and rigor by 2013-14. II. When content is to be assessed in later grades: consider teaching the content from the Oregon standard at the current grade and teaching the additional content and rigor from CCSS standards in the higher grade in the same year, in 2013-14, or sooner; then teach only CCSS standards in 2014-15. III. When content is to be assessed in earlier grades: consider teaching CCSS and OR content at both grades in 2012-13, or at least by 2013-14, then only teach CCSS in the earlier grade thereafter. IV. When CCSS content is new to OR, begin integrating into classroom curriculum in 2012-13, reaching full implementation by 2014-15. Oregon Department of Education

10. Scenario IIContent at Higher Grade in CCSS(Page 3 of Transition OAKS to Smarter Document) • Oregon content standard 5.3.2 will be addressed by Smarter Balanced Assessments in grade 6. • Oregon content standard 5.3.2: Find and justify relationships among the formulas for the areas of triangles and parallelograms. Oregon Department of Education Office of Assessment and Accountability

11. Scenario IIIContent at Lower Grade in CCSS(Page 4 of Transition OAKS to Smarter Document) • Oregon standard 5.2.6 content will be addressed by Smarter Balanced assessment in 4th grade in 2014-2015. • Oregon 2007 Content Standard 5.2.6: Determine the most appropriate form of the quotient and interpret the remainder in a problem situation.

Reflections: • Did you see any patterns in the movement of the content? • Did you see anything you didn’t expect? • How might your school/department use this information to help with planning for 2014-2015? • What additional information will you need to plan your transition to the Smarter Balanced Assessment?

21. Digging Into the DetailsUsing the Crosswalk Using details from the Oregon Crosswalk to compare standards: Where content is in same grade: use 5.2.1 • Compare cognitive complexity and actual content with the CCSS in grade 5 (5.NBT.6) • Look at Target (Cluster) that contains 5.NBT.6 in Crosswalk CCSS to OR – this will shape Smarter Assessment Where content is coming from another grade: From earlier grade: use 4.1.4 • Compare cognitive complexity and actual content with the CCSS in grade 5 (5.NBT.3b) • Look at Target (Cluster) that contains 5.NBT.3b in Crosswalk CCSS to OR – this will shape Smarter Assessment From later grade: use 6.1.7 • Compare cognitive complexity and actual content with the CCSS in grade 5 (5.MD.1) • Look at Target (Cluster) that contains 5.MD.1 in Crosswalk CCSS to OR – this will shape Smarter Assessment Oregon Department of Education
