  1. Agenda Introduction Step 1: Learn About Options Step 2: Reflect Activity: School scenarios Step 3: Make Decisions Activity: Creating a strategic administration and data analysis calendar Step 4 & 5: Make Official Selections and Get Ongoing Support 2

  2. Why Periodic Assessments? “Teachers need to know about their pupils’ progress and difficulties with learning so that they can adapt their own work to meet pupils’ needs—needs that are often unpredictable and that vary from one pupil to another.” -Paul Black and Dylan Wiliam, “Inside the Black Box: Raising Standards Through Classroom Assessment” 3 3

  3. Creating a Strategic Periodic Assessment Plan Step 1: Learn about 2009-10 assessment, administration, and data analysis options (today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 2: Reflect on 2008-09 assessments; discuss needs, goals, resources (today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 3: Make decisions about versions, administration types, timing for administration, data analysis, PD (preview today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 4: Make official selections online (June) Step 5: Continue learning by registering for PD and exploring resources via Web site and ARIS (Summer 2009 through 2009-10 school year with school community) 4

  23. Creating a Strategic Periodic Assessment Plan Step 1: Learn about 2009-10 assessment, administration, and data analysis options (today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 2: Reflect on 2008-09 assessments; discuss needs, goals, resources (today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 3: Make decisions about versions, administration types, timing for administration, data analysis, PD (preview today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 4: Make official selections online (June) Step 5: Continue learning by registering for PD and exploring resources via Web site and ARIS (Summer 2009 through 2009-10 school year with school community) 24

  24. Activity: Assessment Strategy for PS/IS 555 This school’s considerations Has a school-wide focus on parent engagement and wants to share recent student data with families at fall parent-teacher conferences (mid-November) Concerned about student writing ability (State test) Has very limited technological facilities Wants to create Periodic Assessment reports in ARIS Open questions When and how should the school administer the fall ELA predictive assessment? Which version of the ELA predictive assessment should the school choose: multiple choice only or multiple choice/constructed response? What assessments should the school administer for K-2 students? 25

  25. Possible Selections for PS/IS 555 • When and how should the school administer the ELA Predictive assessment? • Would like to administer online but currently can’t because of limited technological capacity • Paper/pencil, early in the administration window • Which version of the assessment should the school choose? • If school can schedule staff time to score and enter written responses, constructed response version will provide info about students’ writing skills and provide better prediction • If school already plans to do many classroom writing exercises and doesn’t want the scoring process to hold up seeing predictions/scaled scores in ARIS, choose MC only • MC only, then they can use CR separately • What assessments should the school administer for K-2 students? • ECLAS-2: results will be in ARIS this year • E-PAL for grade 2: provides info on students’ writing ability 26

  26. Activity: Assessment Strategy for PS/IS 999 • This school’s considerations • Wants early diagnostic information on struggling and G&T students • Uses a modified version of Everyday Math for grades 3-5, and modified Impact Math for grades 6-8 • Has leveled libraries • Has a brand-new computer lab with high-speed internet • A group of teachers is engaged in inquiry focused on ELL students passing the NYSESLAT • Open questions • What Formative assessments should PS/IS 999 administer? • What Formative assessments should PS/IS 999 administer for its special education, G&T, and ELL students? • How should PS/IS 999 administer its assessments? 27

  27. Possible Selections for PS/IS 999 • What Formative assessments should PS/IS 999 administer, and how should the school administer them? • Pre-designed Everyday Math and Impact Math ITAs, online, after the fall ITA administration window (when math classes will have covered the content of the assessments) • Customized math ITAs, paper/pencil, during the regular fall ITA administration window • TCRWP assessments for ELA • What Formative assessments should PS/IS 999 administer for its special education, G&T, and ELL students? • Performance Series early in the year to pinpoint special education and G&T students’ instructional levels • Performance Series in place of ITAs throughout the year for students whose instructional levels are significantly below grade level • ELL Periodic Assessments in place of ITAs for ELL students 28

  28. Activity: Math Assessment Strategy for HS A • This school’s considerations • 9th graders entering with a wide range of skills • Follows both the 2-semester and 4-semester Prentice Hall Integrated Algebra pacing • Students take the Integrated Algebra Regents at the end of their Integrated Algebra Course (either 9th or 10th grade) • Open questions • What diagnostic information is available for High School A? • What Integrated Algebra Formative assessments should High School A administer? • When should High School A administer the Integrated Algebra Predictive assessments to the students in each course? 29

  29. Possible Math Selections for HS A • What diagnostic information is available for High School A? • Prior Year Assessment Reports in Acuity • Performance Series • What Integrated Algebra Formative assessments should High School A administer? • Acuity ITAs for the general populations in both courses • Performance Series administered early in the school year as a diagnostic for students performing below grade level (in place of an ITA) • When should High School A administer the Integrated Algebra Predictive assessments to the students in each course? • Students in the 2-semester course should take the Regents-Year Predictive in April of 2010 • Students in the 4-semester course should take the Regents-Year Predictive in April of 2011 • These students are not required to take the One-Year-Out Pre-Regents Predictive again 30

  30. Activity: English Assessment Strategy for HS B • This school’s considerations • School-wide focus on college readiness and preparation • All students sit for the Comprehensive English Regents in January of grade 10 • School has a significant ELL population • Open questions • Which Formative assessments should High School B choose for each grade level? • When should High School B administer the Comprehensive English Regents-Year Predictive assessment? • How can High School B differentiate the Formative assessments for the school’s ELL population? 31

  31. Possible Selections for High School B • What Formative assessments should High School B choose for each grade level? • Grade 9 – 2 Performance Series • Grade 10 – PSAT and Acuity ITA • Grade 11 – PSAT and Acuity ITA (for students who did not pass the Regents in January of Grade 10) • When should High School B administer the Comprehensive English Regents-Year Predictive assessment? • November of 2009 • Students in grade 11 who did not pass in grade 10 are not required to take the Regents-Year Predictive Assessment again • How can High School B differentiate the Formative assessments for the school’s ELL population? • Substitute the ELL Periodic Assessment for one or both of the Performance Series windows in grade 9 32

  32. Activity: Assessment Strategy for Your School Reflect on 2008-09 assessment data and current practice What are your assessment data needs? Are current assessments meeting these needs? Have current assessments supported inquiry work? Determine goals/features for your strategic assessment plan Are there elements of curriculum you want to focus on? What are your school’s plans for inquiry work in the coming year? When do you need data? When is the best time to administer each assessment? Do your special populations require differentiated assessments? Consider the benefits of seeing data in ARIS Consider your school’s resources and capacity Do you have the technology for online administration? Do you have staff resources for scoring constructed response questions? Have you arranged time to analyze and discuss assessment results? 33

  33. Creating a Strategic Periodic Assessment Plan Step 1: Learn about 2009-10 assessment, administration, and data analysis options (today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 2: Reflect on 2008-09 assessments; discuss needs, goals, resources (today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 3: Make decisions about versions, administration types, timing for administration, data analysis, PD (preview today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 4: Make official selections online (June) Step 5: Continue learning by registering for PD and exploring resources via Web site and ARIS (Summer 2009 through 2009-10 school year with school community) 34

  34. Step 3: Choose Assessments, Versions, Timing The Periodic Assessment Selection Tool Worksheet helps you capture your choices on assessment types, versions, timing, etc. 35

  35. Step 3: Choose Assessments, Versions, Timing The Periodic Assessment Calendar provides information on the testing windows for the various programs. 36

  36. Step 3: Choose Assessments, Versions, Timing Population Matrix (for high schools only) Predictive assessments for high school students are determined by when students will take the corresponding Regents exam Schools estimate the number of students in each grade that fall into each category in the table below This example is for Integrated Algebra Predictive assessments for students who will be in 9th grade in 2009-10 37

  37. Step 3: Choose Assessments, Versions, Timing • Choose the Predictive and Formative assessments that meet your needs (and/or K-2 Literacy assessments) • Select Supplemental assessments for special populations • Choose versions and timing • Do you need to customize ITAs to align with curriculum? • When should you assess, based on curriculum pacing and timing of results? • Will you build in time to score and enter constructed response questions? • Choose administration and scoring methods (Acuity) • Administering online gives you more flexible administration windows and returns results faster • School-based scanning gives you more flexible administration windows 38

  38. Creating a Strategic Periodic Assessment Plan Step 1: Learn about 2009-10 assessment, administration, and data analysis options (today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 2: Reflect on 2008-09 assessments; discuss needs, goals, resources (today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 3: Make decisions about versions, administration types, timing for administration, data analysis, PD (preview today and ongoing with stakeholders) Step 4: Make official selections online (June) Step 5: Continue learning by registering for PD and exploring resources via Web site and ARIS (Summer 2009 through 2009-10 school year with school community) 39
