  1. Reminders- NC Teacher Evaluation Instrument Six Standards related to Teacher Effectiveness Standards 1-5 from observations and evidence Standard 6 as a measure of student growth with a teacher and in a school

  2. What are MSLs/Common Exams? • New assessments provided by the state of North Carolina in certain subject areas • Created by teams of teachers from across NC • Student growth data from Common Exam scores will be one data point used in populating Standard 6 on a teacher’s evaluation

  3. What are MSLs/Common Exams? • Assessments that measure what a student should • know at the end of a course • be able to do at the end of a course • Replace a teacher-made final exam • Count 25% of a student’s overall grade in a high school course

  4. NORTHCAROLINAMEASURES OFSTUDENTLEARNING: NC’sCOMMON EXAMS AT-A-GLANCE 2012-2013High SchoolCourses withMSLs Adapted fromhttp://www.ncpublicschools.org/docs/educatoreffect/measures/msl-timeline.pdf

  5. What are MSLs/Common Exams? • Timed Assessments • 90 minutes – TOTAL TESTING TIME • Considered a classroom test • classroom testing accommodations apply • Consist of • Multiple Choice • Constructed Response Items* • Must be scored by teachers before assessment can be scanned

  6. ETHICAL STANDARDS Since constructed response items will be scored daily, teachers will see the constructed response items before all students take the exams. Please be reminded that information related to the Constructed Response questions cannot be discussed with other classes.

  7. To eliminate the need for Proctors, we will utilize a department trade-off model. Teachers will pick up testing materials from the room Office Conference Roomon the date of the test. When the testing session is complete, teachers will return test materials to the Office Conference Room.

  8. How will we score the Constructed Response Items? • Teachers will meet at 2:45 pm in the cafeteria to score Common Examsafter students are dismissed from school each of the following dates. Tuesday, May 28, 2013 Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Thursday, May 30, 2013 Friday, May 31, 2013

  9. Members of the Common Exam Testing Team from each school will be divided to work with each content area: English Math Science Social Studies OCS

  10. Table tents will be placed on each table to designate where scoring will occur for each course. Courses within each content area will be grouped together. 3 people will be grouped together. 2 people familiar with the content of the course will serve as the scorers and one person will serve as the recorder. A teacher from any content area may serve as a recorder.

  11. Folders will be located on each table. Contents included within this folder will include: Directions Scoring Rubrics Blank Piece of Paper

  12. Before scoring begins, the scoring team for each content area will need to look at each question and the rubric. The two scorers will need to discuss their expectations based on the questions/rubric. If more than one team is scoring for a specific course, the teams will need to discuss the rubric to ensure consistency in grading. Teachers will record notes on the piece of paper and place those notes in the folder once scoring is complete. (Folders will be used daily and it will be important to maintain consistency with grading).

  13. SAMPLE RUBRICS Algebra II Chemistry Civics & Economics

  14. Best practices for scoring student workBest practices for scoring student work for the Scorers • Ensure consistency of scores based on state rubrics • Maintain “blindness” Scorers will read the constructed response items for each student. Scorers will then complete a score card for each paper. Teachers will assign a number for each response based on the rubric(s). Scorers will sign at the bottom of each sheet and then pass each card to the recorder. Once each grader finishes, they will switch stacks of papers and repeat the process with the other set of constructed response items.

  15. Responsibilities of the Recorder The recorder will have the responsibility of matching the name with the NC WISE number. (The name will not be on the score card while being graded to maintain blindness. ) The recorder will begin to make a master list with the scores from both teachers. This next slide will provide an example of what this will look like.

  16. Responsibilities of the Recorder In addition, the recorder will have the responsibility of bubbling the scores on the answer sheets. The final responsibility of the recorder is to place the master list with grades and the score cards in an envelope. This envelope will need to include this information: the course the class period the scorers

  17. NON-ELA SCORE SHEET

  18. How will we score Constructed Response Items? • Scoring of Common Exams • Scores from Constructed Response items will then be transferred to student’s answer documents. • Graders will double check that all scores recorded on the answer sheet are correct. • Student answer documents will then be scanned at Central Services. • Scores will be returned to teachers for student grade calculations for high school.

  19. Thank You for your hard work during this school year. If you have questions about this process, please let us know.
