  2. Standardized Testing and Reporting Program(STAR)

  3. STAR ProgramMultiple-Choice Tests M 3, 36 • CSTs • Most students take CSTs • Grades 2–11 unless taking CMA or CAPA • CMA • Grades 3–11; varies by grade and content area • Must have IEP and meet eligibility criteria • STS • For Spanish-speaking English learners • Grades 2–11 • Must also take CST and/or CMA 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 3

  4. California Standards Tests (CSTs) M 36, 82 • Grades 2–11 • Unless taking CMA or CAPA • Subjects tested: • English–Language Arts (ELA): all gradeswriting for grades 4 and 7 • Mathematics: grades 2–7 and end-of-course (EOC) 7–11 • Science: grades 5, 8, 10, and EOC 9–11 • History–Social Science: grades 8, 11, and EOC 9–11 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 4

  5. Who Takes Which CST for Mathematics? M 15, 81 • Grades 2–6: Grade-level test required • Grade 7: Grade 7 math test or Algebra I required • Grades 8–9: One of the following is required: • EOC mathematics CST; or • CST for Summative High School Mathematics (grade 9 only); or • CST for General Mathematics (if no math course or completing a course for which there is not an EOC mathematics CST) • Grades 10–11: One of the following is required: • EOC mathematics CST; or • CST for Summative High School Mathematics • No assessment required if not taking a mathematics course 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 5

  6. Summative High School Mathematics Students in grades 9–11 will take the CST for Summative High School Mathematics if: Previously completed Algebra I and Algebra II and Geometry courses, and completing an advanced mathematics course this year; or Previously completed a course aligned with the Integrated Mathematics 3 test blueprint, and completing an advanced mathematics course this year; or Previously completed Algebra I and Algebra II and Geometry courses and are taking no mathematics course this year; or Previously completed a course aligned with the Integrated Mathematics 3 test blueprint and are taking no mathematics course this year. Previously took the CST for Summative High School Mathematics. M 15, 81 Q 4 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 6

  7. Mark Correct Mathematics Test Taken Or student will not receive a SCORE. 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 7

  8. CST for Science Required grade-level science Grades 5, 8, 10: all students take the grade-level test Grades 9–11 EOC Based on standards-based science course completed during the school year or the previous summer, whichever is more recent If more than one standards-based science course will be completed during the school year, the district must determine which test will be taken Mark correct EOC test and version number on the answer document M 17, 82 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 8

  9. CMA Tests for 2011 M 3, 13, 72 Q 1 • CMA for ELA in grades 3–11 (added grades 10, 11 in 2011) • CMA for Writing in grades 4 and 7 • CMA for Mathematics in grades 3–7 • CMA for Algebra I (EOC for grades 7–11) • CMA for Geometry (EOC for grades 8–11) (new in 2011) • CMA for Science in grades 5 and 8 • CMA for Life Science in grade 10 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 9

  10. Who Takes the CMA? Students: Have an IEP Meet the SBE-adopted eligibility criteria Enrolled in grades 3–11 May take the CMA for some subjects, CST for other subjects Must take grade-level CSTs when a CMA is not offered May have previously taken the CMA, regardless of score Not eligible to take the CAPA IEP specifies the CMA and subject(s) No modifications; if needed, take the CST M 16, 72, 83 Q 5 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 10

  11. CMA Materials 2011 • CMA booklets for grade 3 • Separate scorable test booklet • If no CST taken, return CST test booklet with non-scorables • CMA for Grades 4–7 • CST and CMA in same answer document • If both CST and CMA taken, must mark Section 7c for CMA tests taken on CST answer documents 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 11

  12. CMA Materials for 2011 Q 6 • CMA for Grades 8–11 • Separate answer documents and test booklets • Must return CST answer document only if CST taken • Return a CST answer document for every CMA tester who takes a required grade-level history–social science CST (grades 8 and 11), an EOC science CST (grades 9–11), and/or an EOC history–social science CST (grades 9–11). • If no CST taken, return CST test booklet with non-scorables • Single DFA used for 9–11 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 12

  13. CST/CMA Answer Document Right side of inside of answer doc grades 4−7 • CMA section has: • Different subject icons from CST • Alternate row shading for the response bubbles • Three answer choices • Fewer number of questions 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 13

  14. 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 14 CMA Grade 7 Answer DocumentMathematics Section Grade 7 mathematics and Algebra I have different numbers of questions

  15. STS STS for Reading/Language Arts (RLA) in grades 2–11 STS for Mathematics in grades 2–7 STS for Algebra I (EOC for grades 7–11) If Algebra I course completed in 2010−11 school year STS for Geometry (EOC for grades 8–11) If Geometry course completed in 2010−11 school year Students in grades 8 and 9 who are not taking Algebra I or Geometry courses take NO STS math, but do take CST math. M 3, 14, 17 Q 7 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 15

  16. Who Takes the STS? Required for Spanish-speaking English learners (EL), grades 2–11, who either: Receive instruction in Spanish; or Have been enrolled in a school in the U.S. less than 12 cumulative months. Districts may also administer to other Spanish-speaking ELs in grades 2–11 Not to be administered to English-only, I-FEP, or R-FEP students All students must also take CSTs or the CMA Students who take CAPA do NOT take STS M 3, 14 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 16

  17. Performance-based, one-on-one test Student must have an IEP IEP specifies CAPA and level For students with significant cognitive disabilities unable to take the CSTs even with accommodations and/or modifications or the CMA with accommodations Do not take STS Answer document: Use only 2011 answer document Ensure correct CAPA Levelis marked in 7a CAPA M 13−14 2011 STAR Pre-Test Workshop || Slide 17
