Connecticut Enhanced Assessment Grant - Kentucky Background Review of Finding Implications for Kentucky

Connecticut Enhanced Assessment Grant - Kentucky Background of Accommodation Work in Kentucky 1990 – Kentucky Educational Reform Performance-based testing led to a more rigorous model and a small number of proficient students Concern for special education students led to a comprehensive package of accommodations

List of Kentucky Accommodations Disabled Student Accommodations Use of assistive technology Readers (permitted for reading and math tests) may read entire passages Scribes Paraphrasing Extended time Reinforcement and behavioral modification strategies Manipulatives Prompting and cueing Interpreters Note: Calculators allowed on math tests for all students

List of Kentucky Accommodations English Language Learner Accommodations Use of assistive technology Readers (permitted for reading and math tests) may read entire passages Scribes with limited conditions Extended time Prompting or cueing Interpreters for students with deafness or hearing impairment Simplified language and oral native language support for Limited English Proficient students

CT EAG Findings Kentucky chose to study the effect of read aloud accommodation on test scores for SWD in grade 4. The study findings showed increased test scores for SWD more than for SWOD. The difference in score gain, due to the read aloud accommodation between the two groups, was significant.

CT EAG Study Findings Accommodation Effects Kentucky Item Statistics Not Changed Changes in Item Stats Test Dimensionality Not Changed Test Structure Not Changed Significantly Increased Test Scores Significantly Increased Test Scores for SWD More Than SWOD (Disability X Accommodation) CT EAG Study Findings

Implications for Kentucky Suggestions for Future Studies Build in provisions for on-site monitoring of the assessment process to gain an understanding of how accommodations are administered at the individual student level. Expand the student read aloud accommodation testing to students at middle school and high school levels to measure age affect. Conduct future studies in a different time of the school year, probably in the fall.

Implications for Kentucky Uses of the Study Supports United States Department of Education requirements. Supports Kentucky’s application for Race to the Top and State Fiscal Stabilization Funds Phase 2.

Kentucky Implications Future Action Kentucky will conduct a thorough review of accommodations for the upcoming 2011-2012 state test. Expectations exist that accommodations in Kentucky will be changed from the existing model.
