  2. Welcome to 2013-2014 School Year 3 • PARCC • 2014 ISAT • Change in performance level cut scores • Growth model

  4. Higher Expectations with Common Core

  5. Key ELA and Literacy Shifts • Reading • Balance of literature and informational texts • Focus on text complexity • Writing • Emphasis on argument and informative/ explanatory writing • Writing to sources • Writing analytical essays • Speaking and Listening • Inclusion of formal and informal talk

  6. Key Mathematics Shifts • Each grade focuses on fewer standards: • Greater depth • Coherent progression across grades • Conceptual understanding of topics • Extend knowledge to real-life modeling and application

  7. What Is PARCC? The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers: Made up of 19 states + DC and US Virgin Islands KY and PA are participating states Developing common, high-quality math and English language arts (ELA) tests for grades 3–11 Computer-based and linked to what students need to know for college and careers Field Testing: Spring 2014 For use starting in the 2014–15 school year

  8. Getting All Students College and Career Ready Ongoing student support/interventions Success In first-year, credit-bearing, postsecondary coursework College readiness score to identify who is ready for college-level coursework Optional K–2 assessment being developed, aligned to the Common Core State Standards Timely data showing whether ALL students are on track for college and career readiness Professional development for educators

  9. ELA: Grade 7 Sample Item • Students read the text that introduces the topic • Items are designed to help students gather information from the texts to lead to the final writing prompt • Items require different types of responses to allow students to demonstrate a command of evidence with complex texts

  10. ELA: Grade 7 Sample Item Part A: Highlight the claim that is supported by the most relevant and sufficient facts within “Earhart’s Final Resting Place Believed Found.” Part B: Click on two facts within the article that best provide evidence to support the claim selected in Part A.

  11. ELA: Grade 7 Sample Item

  12. Math: Grade 3 Sample Item This a fairly traditional fraction task in a computer-based setting. Unlike traditional multiple choice, it is difficult to guess the correct answer or use a choice elimination strategy and there is more than one correct solution. Unlike paper and pencil tests, students can create a visual representation even though the task is scored automatically.

  13. Math: Grade 3 Sample Item Second part of multi-step problem, and, unlike traditional multiple choice, it is difficult to guess the correct answer or use a choice elimination strategy.

  14. Math: High School Sample Item Item has two possible solutions Students have to recognize the nature of the equation to know how to solve Technology prevents guessing and working backward

  15. PARCC Comprehensive Accessibility Policies * Available to all participating students **For students with disabilities, English learners, and English learners with disabilities

  16. Accessibility Features for All Students

  17. Accessibility Features Identified in Advance

  18. Detailed guidelines will be included in the PARCC Test Administration Manual. Principals may determine that any student may require one or more of the following test administration considerations, regardless of the student’s status as a student with a disability or an English learner: Small group testing Frequent breaks Time of day Separate or alternate location Specified area or seating Adaptive and specialized equipment or furniture Administrative Considerations for All Students

  19. Presentation Accommodations

  20. Response Accommodations

  21. PARCC Technology Platform • PEARSON’s TestNav platform has been selected for the Field Test (Spring 2014) and 1st Operational assessment in 2014-15. • TestNav will provide a Proctor Caching solution that will allow for test downloads to individual computers for testing and then uploads when testing is completed reducing the amount of bandwidth needed during test administration. • TestNav specifications (including bandwidth) will be released in August.

  22. Looking Ahead

  23. Looking Ahead

  24. PARCC Field Testing • PARCC is developing a stratified random sample for classrooms to participate in field testing • Classrooms will be chosen within schools given identified characteristics • Most students will take either Performance-based assessments OR End of Year assessments Content contained is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License

  25. Change in Performance Level Cut Scores • Change reading approximately 20 percentage points • Change in mathematics approximately 25 percentage points Content contained is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License

  26. Change in Performance Level Cut Scores • Backmapping process was used with data from 2011 PSAE and 2008 8th grade ISAT • Equipercentile equating was used to determine performance categories • Maximizes the reliability of these data • Reliability and stability of the new performance levels was tested through analysis of trend data for all ISAT scores for five years Content contained is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License

  27. 2014 ISAT • 100% of the test items are connected to the Common Core State Standards • Test maps will be available soon Content contained is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License

  28. ISAT Online Pilot • 15 districts have been invited to participate in online pilot • One grade level at one school within each district • Districts are at all levels of technology readiness Content contained is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License

  29. Growth model metrics: Underlying assumptions • Valid, reliable, and fair • Transparent • Value proficiency at the Meets Standards level • Value changes in achievement level of students

  30. School A 77.5% of Students Meet/Exceed Standards Growth Value: 94.5

  31. School B 28% of Students Meet/Exceed Standards Growth Value: 111.2

  32. School C 58.4% of Students Meet/Exceed Standards Growth Value: 101.5

  33. Implementation Process • Each student within the school/district is placed within a cell of the table based on his or her ISAT scores over two years • The scores of all the students within the school or district are averaged to determine a total growth value

  34. 2,339,468 Every Student Every Day 36
