  1. 2010-2011Fall Test Coordinators’Workshop

  2. PreID Windows • One PreID window for W/R/M/S • January 3-28, 2011 • Writing Pre ID labels will be separate shipment (2 weeks prior to testing) • Spring Enrollment • Two-week window will be in November • Pearson will load last year’s participation counts into PearsonAccess • Writing materials will be produced from these numbers • Algebra 1 EOC PreID window will be in April

  3. What’s New • Race Categories/Ethnicity • For each race category, grid Y for yes and N for no; a student may belong to more than one category • Grid Y for yes and N for no beside Hispanic/Latino in the ethnicity section • Mathematics/Science Reference Sheets • Separate handouts packaged with test materials • Administration Record/Security Checklist • Pre-populated form now available for schools in PearsonAccess

  4. Updated Ethnicity/Race Categories • Ethnicity – if gridded “yes” for Hispanic/Latino, this information overrides race categories for reporting • If more than one Race category is “yes”, the student is reported as multiracial

  5. Test Group Codes • Test Group Codes continue to assist us in investigating testing irregularities • Writing Folders will have test group code grids this year

  6. 2011 Test Configurations Key for tables that follow: R – Reading M – Mathematics W – Writing S – Science

  7. 2011 Test Configurations 7

  8. Daily Session Schedule • Grades 6 – 10 Reading • Still under review • Survey results were very close; we are seeking further input from district reading specialists

  9. Writing Update • No December 2010 Writing field test • 2011 FCAT Writing test will consist of one prompt at each grade • Grades 8 and 10 - Persuasive or expository • One scorer per student response with 20% of student responses receiving a second score for quality control purposes only

  10. FCAT Writing • Writing Prompt will be a separate secure handout for students • Shrink-wrapped separately • Should not be opened until the first day of testing • Must be returned with TO BE SCORED materials for security purposes • One prompt per grade level; mode will not be revealed in advance

  11. Science Update – Spring 2011 FCAT Tests • Grades 5 and 8 tests align with the 1996 SSS • Multiple-choice items only • No performance tasks • Embedded field test items align with 2008 NGSSS

  12. Reading Update – Spring 2011 Tests • Spring 2011 FCAT 2.0 Reading tests in Grades 3–10 align with the 2007 Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS). • No performance tasks in any grade.

  13. FCAT 2.0 Reading Reporting Categories 13

  14. Mathematics Update – Spring 2011 FCAT/ FCAT 2.0 Tests • Spring 2011 FCAT 2.0 tests in Grades 3–8 align with the 2007 NGSSS. • Gridded-response items appear in Grades 4-8. • No performance tasks in any grade. • Four-function calculators for Grades 7-8. • Reference sheets in Grades 5–8, 10, Retakes, and paper-based accommodations will be provided as stand alone documents rather than as perforated sheets.

  15. FCAT 2.0 Mathematics Reporting Categories 15

  16. Florida End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments April 2011 ( window not set yet) • PreID file submission MAY 16 – 20, 2011 Administration • ALGEBRA 1 EOC ASSESSMENT

  17. Algebra 1 EOC Assessment • Administration Dates • May 16-20, 2011 • Length of Test • One 160-minute session • Individual breaks as needed

  18. Algebra 1 End-of-Course Operational Test • Computer-based test (CBT) with paper-based test (PBT) accommodations • Four-function online calculator for CBT; four-function handheld calculator for PBT accommodated versions • Online reference sheet and straightedge • Multiple-choice and Fill-in response items • No performance tasks

  19. Algebra 1 EOC Assessment • Paper-based Accommodations • Paper should be requested for • Students whose IEPs indicate this accommodation • Students who require accommodations that cannot be supported by CBT (i.e., student can test over several days)

  20. Algebra 1 EOC Assessment • Paper-based Transcription • Tests have fill-in response items (no grids); these items cannot be scanned • School/district staff will transcribe paper-based responses into TestNav6.9 and submit for scoring • Student will need to be assigned a test in PearsonAccess and transcriber will use this login information

  21. Algebra 1 EOC Assessment • Paper-based Transcription (cont’d) • Pearson staff will verify a percentage of transcribed tests • This will ensure timely reporting for these students • School-level transcription process will apply only to tests with fill-in response items

  22. Algebra 1 EOC Assessment • Calculator Policy • At the end of the Practice Test script, students will be asked to request a hand-held FCAT calculator for testing if they are uncomfortable using the online version • FCAT Calculators should be available for these students during test administration • Geometry EOC requires use of a scientific calculator; the FDOE will not provide hand-helds • Students may use approved calculator only for Geometry (TI-30XS), if available

  23. Florida End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments MAY 9 – 13, 2011 Field Tests • GEOMETRY EOC FIELD TEST • BIOLOGY 1 EOC FIELD TEST

  24. Biology 1/Geometry Field Tests • Administration Dates • May 9-13, 2011 • One week per test to administer tests in selected schools • Our office will send your field tests samples in December • Length of Tests • Geometry – One 90-minute session • Biology 1 – TBD

  25. Geometry and Biology 1End-of-Course Field Tests • Computer-based field tests administered to select schools • No paper-based test accommodations • Scientific online calculator (TI-30XS) for Geometry (handheld may be used, but is not provided by FDOE) • Online reference sheet and straightedge for Geometry • Online periodic table for Biology 1 • Multiple-choice and Fill-in response items for Geometry • Multiple-choice items only for Biology 1 • No performance tasks

  26. End-of-Course Reporting • The first year of live reporting requires post-equating. • No dates scheduled for reporting; it will be contingent upon the equating process – this will be the case for the first operational year of each EOC.

  27. End-of-Course Reporting • Three forms of the test will be scored, and they will be post-equated to ensure that reported scores are accurate regardless of the form number. • Students will receive a scale score, the range of which is still being discussed with advisory groups.  Districts may determine how to use the scale score as 30% to calculate the student’s final grade in the course.  • FDOE will provide one-third cut reports showing student performance across the state to help districts in making this determination.

  28. ESE Updates • Revisions to Rule 6A-1.0943, F.A.C., effective July 1, 2010: • Deleted references to specific accommodation types; test administration manuals list types • Updated language to provide accommodations for Home Education or Private School students participating in statewide assessments • Added language permitting exemption from participation in statewide assessments due to extraordinary circumstances (newly blind) – Commissioner approval required

  29. ESE Updates • The Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services (BEESS) is working with the Accommodations and Modifications Project to update key documents • FCAT Accommodations Guide for Students with Disabilities • Accommodations and Modifications Guide • Other brochures for teachers and parents • Website: http://www.fldoe.org/ese/

  30. Virtual School Programs • District Virtual Instruction Program • Package materials for return as all other schools in your district using your district number and school number of the student’s school of enrollment • Arrangements must be made to test Virtual School Program students

  31. Packaging/Materials Return • No BLUEcalibration return label • Statewide calibration sample; no special calibration materials • Some jumbo and large districts will be asked for a small sample of schools to return materials early • First school box will be white with a red wrap-around label

  46. FCAT 2.0 Reporting • This year, FCAT and FCAT 2.0 scales will be linked using a statistical process similar to equating.  Student results will be reported on the FCAT scale with FCAT achievement levels.  • Next year, a new FCAT 2.0 scale will be developed based on data analysis in the fall, and the new FCAT 2.0 scale and achievement levels will be used for Spring 2012 score reporting.

  47. FCAT/FCAT 2.0 Paper Reports • FCAT Writing and FCAT Science reports will look the same as in previous years • FCAT 2.0 Reading and Mathematics reports will have a new look and feel • Scores reported on FCAT scale • Explanation of linked scale score • New reporting categories
