  10. Spring Assessment Window • Grade 11 • February 14 – March 25, 2011

  11. Who’s Being Assessed? • Populations assessed: • Participation • Supported Independence • Functional Independence

  12. What’s Being Assessed? • Content areas assessed for each population: • English Language Arts P/SI • FI Accessing Print • FI Expressing Ideas • Mathematics • Science • Since MI-Access does not assess Social Studies, the IEP team must decide the appropriate district level test.

  13. Key Dates • Arrival of Materials: Week of Jan 31 • Additional Orders: February 7 – March 22 • Return Materials: NO LATER THAN April 8

  14. What’s New This Year? • Student Demographic data entry to MSDS • No Released Items • Class/Group ID Sheets • School Header Sheets • School Return Envelope • Test Administrator Manual • Missing UIC will invalidate scores

  16. Participation and Supported Independence (P/SI)

  17. P/SI • Student Populations • Content Areas • Assessment Booklets • Item Formats • Scoring Rubrics

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

  19. 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

  20. 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

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

  22. 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

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

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

  25. P/SI Content Areas Assessed • English Language Arts • Mathematics • Science MI-Access EBs/EHSCE

  26. P/SI Assessment Booklets Combined booklets for ELA, mathematics and science • Participation is right side-up • Supported Independence is upside down • Color coordinated

  27. Participation • ELA and • Mathematics = Blue

  28. Supported Independence • ELA and • Mathematics = Green

  29. Participation • Science = Pink

  30. Supported Independence • Science = Red

  31. Item Development • All items • aligned to EHSCE/EB • coded to adult life contexts

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

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

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

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

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

  37. 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

  38. 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

  39. Selected-response • Two reasons for picture cards: • Not practical for students to look at pictures in an assessment booklet. • Selected-response items have to be presented twice – each time in a different order.

  40. Sample SI Item Which of these shows a pulley being used? A hammer and nail Braising a flag Cwheelchair on ramp

  47. 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

  48. 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
