  14. Participation and Supported Independence (P/SI) John Jaquith Assessment Consultant for Student with Disabilities Office of Standards & Assessment

  15. Participation and Supported Independence • Student Populations • Content Areas • Assessment Booklets • Item Formats • Scoring Rubrics

  16. Participation • Students who have, or function as if they have, severe or profound cognitive impairment

  17. Participation • Expected to require extensive ongoing support in adulthood and may have significant cognitive and/or physical impairments that limit their ability to generalize or transfer learning • Dependent on others for most, if not all, daily living needs

  18. Participation • The instructional approach for these students targets opportunities for them to integrate into age-appropriate tasks, activities related to daily living skills, and academic content

  19. Supported Independence • Students who have, or function as if they have, moderate cognitive impairment

  20. Supported Independence • Will require ongoing support in major life roles and may have cognitive and/or physical impairments that limit their ability to generalize or transfer learning

  21. Supported Independence • Instructional approach is direct, in context, and targeted toward specific, essential independent living and academic skills

  22. Supported Independence • Working toward mastering daily living and employment routines and an acceptable level of independent living

  23. Content Areas Assessed • MI-Access EGLCEs/EB (Grades 3-8) • English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science

  24. P/SI Assessment Booklets • ELA and Mathematics are combined into a single booklet • Participation and Supported Independence are no longer combined into flip-style booklets • Color coordinated

  25. Participation • ELA and Mathematics = Blue

  26. Participation • Science = Pink

  27. Supported Independence • ELA and Mathematics = Green

  28. Supported Independence • Science = Red

  29. Item Development • All items • aligned to • EGLCE/EB • coded to adult life contexts

  30. Item Development • Core items count toward the student’s score • Embedded items are for field testing ONLY

  31. Item Types and Formats • Selected Response/Multiple Choice • SI: 3 choices-graphics • P: 2 choices-graphics

  32. Item Types and Formats • Observation/Activity • Many items use an activity-based observation format • Paper and pencil tests aren’t appropriate

  33. Selected-response • ELA, mathematics, and science have selected-response items • ALL selected-response items administered the same way

  34. Selected-response • Selected-response picture cards will be provided by the MI-Access contractor

  35. Selected-response • ONE set of picture cards will be shipped to each TEACHER based on: • content area (P/SI ELA and Mathematics OR P/SI Science) • grades being assessed

  36. Picture Cards • Picture cards are presented in very specific ways • Read manual sections on the different presentation styles • Watch presentation styles in online learning program

  37. Selected-response • Two reasons for picture cards: 1. Not practical for students to look at pictures in an assessment booklet

  38. Selected-response • 2. Selected-response items have to be presented twice – each time in a different order

  45. Activity-based Observation • Assessment administrators will provide THEIR OWN picture cards IF they are typically used during the activity or routine where the item is being administered

  46. Sample Participation Item Activity: The student will respond appropriately to a greeting from an unfamiliar person, such as a teacher, support staff, or related service provider, during arrival or dismissal time. Scoring Focus: Responding to and/or communicating with a variety of audiences
