  3. MI-Access Population 3 Types of MI-Access Assessments • Functional Independence • Supported Independence • Participation

  4. Functional Independence For those students who have, or function as if they have, a mild cognitive impairment

  5. Functional Independence • Students can typically assess their personal strengths and limitations • Students can access resources, strategies, and supports to help them maximize their independence

  6. What’s Being Assessed? Content areas assessed for each population: • FI Accessing Print (Grades 3-8) • FI Expressing Ideas (Grades 4&7) • Mathematics (Grades 3-8) • Science (Grades 5 and 8) Since MI-Access does not assess Social Studies, the IEP team must decide the appropriate level test.

  7. Item Development All items • aligned to EGLCE/EB • coded to adult life contexts

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

  9. FI Accessing Print • Grades 3,5,6,8 (Purple) • Word Recognition • Text Comprehension

  10. FI Accessing Print and Expressing Ideas • Grades 4 & 7 (Purple) • Word Recognition • Text Comprehension • Expressing Ideas

  13. FI Science Assessments • Grades 5 & 8 (Orange) • Constructing New Scientific Knowledge • Reflecting on Scientific Knowledge • Using Life Science Knowledge • Using Earth Science Knowledge • Using Physical Science Knowledge

  14. Sample FI Science item

  15. Functional Independence • Resemble paper/pencil test • Use multiple-choice item format ONLY, except for Expressing Ideas

  16. Functional Independence • Students DO NOT complete answer document; assessment administrators transfer student responses from test booklet and bubble in student responses on answer document

  17. Rubric Expressing Ideas Scoring Rubric includes • Writing and • Drawing

  18. Administering FI Assessment • Read the manual before administration • Scripts in the manual for each content area that MUST be followed during assessment administration

  19. Administering FI Assessment • Become familiar with scripts ahead of time • Need to fill in assessment booklet page numbers in the script

  20. Functional Independence • Text comprehension passages are designed to be appropriate for age/interest levels of students being assessed • Most students should be able to read passages

  21. Functional Independence • If a student accesses print through a reader, it is considered a standard accommodation

  22. Administering FI Assessment • Decide on a student-by-student basis if assessments will be administered individually or in a group

  23. Administering FI Assessment • There is NO time limit – use own judgment on time allowed and how much to administer in one sitting

  24. Optional Test Materials Mathematics: coins, bills, clocks, calendars, meters, etc. Science: sand, water, flashlight, musical instruments, etc.
