Mathematics Collection of Evidence (COE)

1. Mathematics Collection of Evidence (COE) Anton Jackson Mathematics Assessment Specialist

2. What is the COE? • A legislatively approved alternative to the WASL that is comparable in rigor to the WASL; WASL is still the standard for assessing a student’s skills and knowledge • One way a student can meet requirements for a Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA) • Designed for students who have the skills and knowledge assessed on the WASL

3. What’s in a COE • Student work samples developed over time in academic and/or career and technical classes • Each work sample demonstrates both mathematical content and process • The work is aligned to the grade 10 Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs), Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) and Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL)

4. Student Participation – June 2008 • 2,705 Mathematics COE received • 2, 670 eligible collections • Ineligible: no WASL score, unenrolled,no form for out-of-state/country student • 2,662 scored collections • 4 failed sufficiency 1 checks (signatures, forms) • 4 failed sufficiency 2 checks (< 8 work samples)

5. Student Participation – June 2008 • By grade: • 9th – 7 students* • 10th – 84 students* • 11th – 1,606 students • 12th – 965 students • By population: • Special Education – 180 students • Bilingual/ELL – 194 students • Low Income – 999 students *small n count

6.

7. Student Proficiency – June 2008 • Proficiency • The student has demonstrated what students should know and be able to do in that subject and grade based on the state standards • Earned 78 or more points (out of 128 possible) on their Mathematics COE

Strand Scores – June 2008 • Mean strand scores (out of 16 possible) • Number Sense – 12.48 • Measurement – 11.56 • Geometric Sense – 10.17 • Probability and Statistics – 11.82 • Algebraic Sense – 12.45 • Solves Problems/Reasons Logically – 11.29 • Communicates Understanding – 11.47 • Makes Connections – 6.34

15. Collections with Strand Scores of 0 • June 2008 (out of ~2,700 COEs) • Number Sense – 0 • Measurement – 2 • Geometric Sense – 2 • Probability and Statistics – 6 • Algebraic Sense – 4 • Solves Problems/Reasons Logically – 4 • Communicates Understanding – 4 • Makes Connections – 256

16. Makes Connections – June 2008 • Those COEs with MC strand score of 0 • Majority came from 6 school districts • 184 out of the 256 (See District Score Report) • Number of MC tasks in these 256 collections • 0 MC tasks: 74 collections (0 possible strand points) • 1 MC task: 118 collections (8 possible strand points) • 2 MC tasks: 60 collections (16 possible strand points) • 3 MC tasks: 4 collections (16 possible strand points)

17. June 2008 to February 2009 • COEs with MC strand score of 0 • Mean COE score of 70.83 • 95 meet standard (37.1% of 256) • 44 are eligible to augment in February(27.3% of 161 who did not meet standard) • All COEs • Mean COE score of 87.60 • 1,876 meet standard (69.6% of 2, 697) • 285 are eligible to augment in February(34.7% of 821 who did not meet standard)
