Curriculum and Assistive Technology Training Oklahoma Alternate Assessment Program (OAAP) Portfolio
OAAP • We are required by the USDE to set Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs) for every subject and grade assessed. • PLDs were developed by teacher committees in 2010.
PLDs • PLDs are not: • Rubrics • Task Specific • They do: • Describe overall performance on a set of tasks. • Define several distinct levels of achievement. • Align to a domain of content standards.
PLDs • Provide a clear link to the content standards for the grade in which the student is enrolled. • Grade-level content may be reduced in complexity. • For each grade, define one or more alternate achievement standard for proficiency.
PLDs • For each content area: • At least three levels: • Proficient • Below Proficient (Limited Knowledge) • Above Proficient (Advanced) • Basic (Unsatisfactory) • Descriptions and competencies for each level • Cut scores with rationale to differentiate between levels
PLDs • Align achievement to the culminating level of the content standard. • Describe increasing knowledge and sophistication. • Describe progress in learning from one level to another. • Illustrate learning at each level. • Specify concepts, skills, and processes performed. • Differentiate the cognitive challenge demonstrated by each level.
Grades and Subjects Assessed with the OAAP Portfolio • 3rd-8th grade • 5th and 8th writing assessments are completed as a part of the OAAP Portfolio and will not be taken by students during the February testing window.
Grades and Subjects Assessed with the OAAP Portfolio • End-of-Instruction • *Required subjects to be assessed • **Students are only required to take these EOI assessments if they are enrolled in these courses.
Where Do I Start? • Performance Level Descriptors • Specify concepts, skills, and processes performed. • Task Specifications • Includes the rubrics and examples of activities. • Use these to teach the curriculum and document progress as you go. • All pieces of evidence are derived from these. • Save samples of student work that align to the task specifications. • Determine how student best communicates. • PECS, augmentative communication device, eye gaze, …
7th Grade Reading 7.4 • Task Specification • Explain the different characteristics of literary genres. • Reading 7.4 Example 1 • Does the description, combined with the supporting evidence, draw a clear picture of what the student did? • Does it adequately reflect the task specification? • The student scored a 4 for this piece of evidence.
7th Grade Reading 7.4 • Compare to: • Reading 7.4 Example 2 • Does the description, combined with the supporting evidence, draw a clear picture of what the student did? • Does it adequately reflect the task specification? • Same result, accomplished in a different way based on student’s learning style and ability (writing vs. hands-on).
5th Math 5.5 • Task Specification • The student will interpret data from a chart, graph, or table to make predictions. • Math 5.5 • Does the description, combined with the supporting evidence, draw a clear picture of what the student did? • Did the student complete the task independently? • Indirect verbal prompt • Is the prompt used to keep the student on task? • 4 points • Is the prompt used to guide the student to the answer? • E-Entry level score, 0 points • Video evidence would make the type and purpose of prompting evident.
7th Grade Math 7.2 • Task Specification • The student will describe positive and negative integers in real world settings. • Math 7.2 • Math 7.2 Video • Does the description, combined with the supporting evidence, draw a clear picture of what the student did? • Does it adequately reflect the task specification? • The student scored a 4 for this piece of evidence.
4th Math 4.3 • Task Specification • The student will identify differences in circles, squares, and triangles. • Math 4.3 • Does the description, combined with the supporting evidence, draw a clear picture of what the student did? • Does it adequately reflect the task specification? • Does using the ball and cube for circle and square adequately assess if the student can identify a circle and square? • The student scored an E (0) for this piece of evidence.
English II.4 • Task Specification • Identify similarities and differences between story elements in two or more genres through the writing process. • English II.4 • Does the description, combined with the supporting evidence, draw a clear picture of what the student did? • Does it adequately reflect the task specification? • The student scored a 2 for this piece of evidence.
7th Reading 7.4 • Task Specification • Explain the different characteristics of literary genres. • Reading 7.4 • Does the description, combined with the supporting evidence, draw a clear picture of what the student did? • Does it adequately reflect the task specification? • Did the student show that they recognize anything related to genre? • The student scored an E (0) for this piece of evidence.
4th Math 4.3 • Task Specification • The student will identify differences in circles, squares, and triangles. • Math 4.3 • Does the description, combined with the supporting evidence, draw a clear picture of what the student did? • Does it adequately reflect the task specification? • Does the accuracy (33%) demonstrate that the student mastered the skill being assessed? • The student scored an E (0) for this piece of evidence.
3rd Math 3.3 • Task Specification • The student will describe and sort circular and linear items. • Math 3.3 • Does the description, combined with the supporting evidence, draw a clear picture of what the student did? • Does it adequately reflect the task specification? • The student scored a 3 for this piece of evidence.
Great Examples • Example 1 • Example 2 • Example 3 • Example 4 • Student’s face isn’t always showing. THAT’S OK!

Need More Help? • Reflection • Are students who “can’t communicate” utilizing various forms of augmentative and alternative communication methods? • Have they received research based instruction? • Are they receiving access to academic content? • Rowland, C., & Schweigert, P.
