  1. Field Test of Accessible Reading Assessment

  2. Flow of Activities – see notebook PARA Timelines (original and revised) – see notebook

  3. Issue The PARA timeframe is designed to allow maximum time for research and input from the Principles and Guidelines process. Do you see problems with this approach?

  4. Specifications about the assessment for field testing have been few – because they depend on the results of research and principles of accessible assessment. The only detail laid out was the sample size

  5. NARAP Goals – Collaboration During Goal 4 (Field Test) • Develop a definition of reading proficiency • Research the assessment of reading proficiency • Develop research-based principles and guidelines making large-scale reading assessments more accessible for students who have disabilities that affect reading • Develop and field trial a prototype reading assessment

  6. Goal 4 from RFP • “In collaboration with the other projects funded under this priority, and based on the definition formulated under Goal One and the research conducted under Goal Two, develop instruments and/or methods for assessing reading proficiency that are:

  7. Goal 4 continued • Suitable for large-scale administration for school accountability purposes. • Accessible to students who have disabilities that affect reading, • Maintain validity and comparability of scores, • Can provide a valid measure of proficiency against academic standards. • Can provide individual interpretive, descriptive, and diagnostic reports for the full range of students with disabilities that affect reading.

  8. Goal 4 continued “In collaboration with the other projects funded under this priority, a project must conduct a large-scale field test on the instruments and methods to determine the degree to which they provide for accessibility, validity, and comparability. The projects must provide sufficient sample size and diversity, as well as sound data collection and analysis procedures to ensure conclusive field test findings.”

  9. Issue How to demonstrate that the NARAP assessment is more accessible while maintaining validity and comparability of scores. i.e., How do we operationalize accessibility? What is the best test of accessibility?
