Assessment Components Instructional Components Order at HSD Print Shop… http://www.hsd.k12.or.us/Departments/PrintShop/WebSubmissionForms.aspx Directions The HSD Elementary assessments are neither scripted nor timed assessments. They are a tool to inform instructional decision making. All students should “move toward” taking the assessments independently but many will need scaffolding strategies. It is not the intent of these assessments to have students “guess and check” answers for the sake of finishing an assessment. If that seems the case, please scaffold to gain a true understanding of student ability, noting when and what accommodations were needed. Connecting Assessment to Classroom Instruction How do the assessments connect to classroom instruction? Assessment is not an isolated event. The HSD assessments are an extension of classroom instruction. In the classroom assessment is on-going and monitors progress toward standards mastery. Assessment Components as a Routine Classroom Practices Assessment Components Instructional Components Pre-Assessments Use the DOK Leveled Learning Progression Tasks to monitor standard mastery. Standard DOK Level 50% Literary and 50% Informational Text Students have equal access to both text types. Grade Level Content-Rich Text All students read grade-level text, content rich text (with scaffolds as needed). Standard Academic Vocabulary Content-Domain Vocabulary. Ask questions using the standard’s vocabulary as well as the content domain vocabulary. Text –Dependent Questions Ask text-dependent questions from the standard’s DOK level. Selected and Constructed Responses Students have many opportunities to answer selected extended or constructed responses. Reading for Meaning Assess understanding using never before seen text (although the theme or topic should be grade-level “friendly” or familiar) and reading rubrics. Note-Taking Students “take notes” as they read to identify the central or main idea and it’s supporting details. SBAC Reading/Writing Rubrics Use SBAC rubrics to access reading/writing. Read to Write Evidenced-Based Model Students read, discuss and write about a topic using evidence from the text to support inferences, conclusions and generalizations. Write and Revise Students revise brief texts, correct grammar and language/vocabulary in context and write brief texts (brief write rubrics should be used). Performance Tasks Students read, write, discuss and research a topic guided by a central insight or goal throughout a unit(s) of study with fully defined criteria, culminating in a final product or “performance task.” The final product can be a full composition, speech (using SBAC Rubrics) or other product meeting all criterion.

Pre-Assessment and Learning Progressions The pre-assessments are very unique. They measure progress toward a standard. Unlike the Common Formative Assessments which measure standard mastery, the pre-assessments are more like a base-line picture of a student’s strengths and gaps, measuring skills and concepts, students need “along the way,” in order to achieve standard mastery. So what about a “post-assessment?” There is not a standardized post-assessment. The true measure of how students are doing “along the way,” is assessed in the classroom during instruction and classroom formative assessment. For this reason The CFA’s are not called “post-assessments.” The CFAs measure the “end goal,” or standard mastery. However, without the pre-assessments, how will we know what our instruction should focus on throughout each quarter? Learning Progressions: are the predicted set of skills needed to be able to complete the required task demand of each standard. The learning progressions were aligned to Hess’ Cognitive Rigor Matrix. The pre-assessments measure student proficiency indicated on the boxes in purple (adjustment points). These points are tasks that allow us to adjust instruction based on performance. For instance, if a student has difficulty on the first “purple” adjustment point (DOK-1, Cf) the teacher will need to go back to the tasks prior to DOK-1 Cf and scaffold instruction to close the gap, continually moving forward to the end of the learning progression. There is a Reading Learning Progression checklist for each standard in each grade that can be used to monitor progress. It is available at: http://sresource.homestead.com/Grade-2.html Example of a Learning Progression for RL.2.1 Pre-Assessments Measure Adjustment Points (in purple) CFA RL.2.1 grade-level standard assessment. After the pre-assessment is given, Learning Progressions provide informal formative assessment below and near grade-level “tasks” throughout each quarter.

An Important Note for Grade 1: During the first quarter of first grade most students are not reading fluently and have not taken an assessment with selected and constructed responses in this format. Read the stories to the students and ask the questions as Listening Comprehension rather than Reading Comprehension questions. Do the assessment (or part of the assessment) as an instructional practice piece. This is a learning experience for first graders and should look more like an instructional piece rather than an assessment. Do not expect students to do this independently. This assessment can be done as a class project over several weeks with the literary section taught at a different time than the informational section. Scaffold over the year to students reading and doing more of the assessment independently as are able. Directions for Selected Responses Part One “This is an assessment or “test.” An assessment lets us know what we can learn more about (show them the model assessment copy). I am going to read a story to you called “The New Kid in Town.” Then I will ask you some questions about the story.” Read the Story “The New Kid in Town” Part Two “Now I am going to ask you some questions about the story. Keep the answers in your mind (point to your head) and don’t speak them with your voice.” Model asking a question and keeping it in your mind. Then model answering a question without speaking the answer aloud. You may want to write a question on the board and then four possible choices (A,B,C,D). Read each choice and then go back and shade in the circle by the correct choice. Read each question for “The New Kid in Town.” Do the entire assessment as a “class project” using an overhead and allowing a few students to shade in answers. Students practice keeping the answers in their “mind.” It is important to discuss each answer immediately after it is chosen to help students understand why it is or is not correct. Directions for Constructed Responses Part Three “We have practiced finding answers about the story. We have filled or shaded in some bubbles to show the answers we think are correct.” “Now we are going to answer questions about the story in a different way. We will listen to a question and then write and draw about it to show we understand.” “Listen to the question “ (read the first constructed response prompt). Discuss the answer as a class. Model on the board how you would answer the question with words and pictures. Allow 2-3 students to add words in the sentence frame or pictures to your model. Then ask: “Do our words and pictures answer the question? “ Have students complete the next constructed response question on blank paper. Allow them to discuss and share their answers and their thinking. Repeat the process for the informational text: “Bottlenose Dolphins” and all Writing and Language prompts.

Quarter 1 Pre-Assessment Constructed Response Answer Key A Note about constructed responses: Constructed response answers are not written “in stone.” There is no perfect way a student should respond. Look for the general intent of the prompt and student response and follow the rubric below as much as possible. Use your best judgment. Unlike DOK-1 questions where there is one right and wrong answer, constructed responses are more difficult to assess. Overall consistency of intent based on most of your student responses can guide you. Quarter 1 Pre-Assessment Constructed Response Answer Key Standard RL.1.2: 2 Point Short Reading Constructed Response Rubric Question #7 (prompt):What did Dylan learn at the new school? Draw and write about what he learned. (Details can be shown in drawing or writing) Directions for Scoring Notes: Write an overview of what students could include in a proficient response with examples from the text. Be very specific and “lengthy.” Teacher Language and Scoring Notes: Sufficient Evidence (general idea) of the prompt would include information in writing and drawing about what Dylan learned at the new school. This is a DOK-2 question so students should respond with more information to explain the obvious. Specific Identifications (supporting details) could include in drawing and writing (the sentence prompt) that Dylan learned (1) his school was large, (2) had 500 or a “lot” of kids and (3) that he could make new friends even in a new school (this in particular, is a DOK 2 answer). Specific: Full Support other details that could support the evidence of what he learned may include (1) he met two boys or sat with two boys at lunch – Kamil and James, (2) identifying that the old and new schools are different. Note: Any drawings or words that represent something found explicitly in the text to support the prompt is acceptable. 2 The student gives a proficient response by providing evidence of what Dylan learned at the new school and supporting what he learned with details. Student completes the sentence frame: Dylan learned he could make new friends. Drawings should include 2 or more details supporting that Dylan made new friends. 1 The student gives a partial response by providing some evidence of what Dylan learned at the new school and supporting what he learned with few details. Student completes the sentence frame: Dylan learned his school was big (or there were lots of kids). Drawings should include 1 or more details supporting that the new school had lots of kids. The student provides no evidence about what Dylan learned at school. Student writes or draws but shows no evidence of answering or understanding the prompt. Toward RL.1.2 DOK 2 – Ck Identify the central message or lesson of a text using key details as support or evidence (read but not discussed).

Quarter 1 Pre-Assessment Constructed Response Answer Key Standard RL.1.3: 3 Point Reading Constructed Response Rubric Question #8 (prompt): Will Dylan have new friends? Tell how you know. Write and draw about it. Directions for Scoring Notes: Write an overview of what students could include in a proficient response with examples from the text. Be very specific and “lengthy.” Teacher Language and Scoring Notes: Sufficient Evidence (conclusion or central idea) of the prompt would be writing and drawing to show if Dylan would have new friends with support of how the student knows or concludes that is/not true. Specific identifications (key details) would include completing the sentence frame Dylan _______ have new friends (will/will not) and drawing (or more writing) to explain the answer. This is a DOK 2 question so the answer should go beyond the obvious. Students should draw the conclusion that Dylan will make new friends based on the textual evidence. Answers at this level may include (1) Dylan with the two boys Kamil and James, (2) lots of kids at the school to make friends with and (3) Dylan eating lunch with the boys. Pictures of things “not happening” in the story are not acceptable. Full Support (other details) should include in other details that support the completed sentence frame in some way such as; (1) James saying, “Now you can have friends here.” 3 The student gives a proficient response by providing evidence of showing why Dylan will have new friends. The student finishes the sentence frame by inserting that Dylan will have new friends (as there is evidence of this but there is no evidence that he will not have new friends, except conjectures that are not explicit in the text). Student draws or writes more to show at least 2 more details showing Dylan with new friends in some way. 2 The student gives a partial response by providing some evidence of showing why Dylan will have new friends. The student finishes the sentence frame by inserting that Dylan will have new friends but only 1 vague detail that supports the statement. 1 The student gives a minimal response about why Dylan will have new friends. The student finishes the sentence frame by inserting that Dylan will have new friends but without further details to support the statement. The student provides no evidence about why Dylan will have new friends. Student finishes the sentence frame by inserting that Dylan will not have new friends or does not answer the prompt in any other way that is supportive of the prompt. Toward RL.1.3 DOK -2 Ck Identify major events from the story using key details.

Quarter 1 Pre-Assessment Constructed Response Answer Key Standard RI.1.2: 2 Point Short Reading Constructed Response Rubric Question #15 (prompt): What did you learn about dolphins in the story? Write and Draw about it. RI.1.2 Directions for Scoring Notes: Write an overview of what students could include in a proficient response with examples from the text. Be very specific and “lengthy.” Scoring notes: “Teacher Language” Sufficient Evidence (conclusion/idea) of the prompt would be writing (completing the sentence frame) and drawing to show what the student learned about dolphins in the story. It is a difficult concept for first graders at the beginning of the year to understand or summarize that dolphins can “do many things (which is the main idea of the story). Any answer a student gives to show that dolphins can do more than one thing is sufficient evidence of understanding the prompt. Specific Identifications (supporting details) support the completed sentence frame: Dolphins can __________. Students should respond with more than one answer such as dolphins can (1) talk to each other, (2) swim in the sea, (3) like to play and (4) eat fish and squid. These are actions dolphins “do.” Responses Fully Support with other details may include that dolphins (1) swim in groups, (2) come to the top of the water to get air and (3) can squeak. Full support would not include descriptions of a dolphin as descriptions are not a correct response to what dolphins “do.” 2 The student gives a proficient response by providing evidence of what dolphins can do. Student completes the sentence frame with what dolphins can “do,” including more than one fact from the story. Student draws or writes more to show other things dolphins can do or to illustrate the sentence frame. 1 The student gives a partial response by providing some evidence of what dolphins can do. Student completes the sentence frame with what dolphins can “do,” with only one fact from the story. Student does not draw or write about other things dolphins can do nor illustrate the sentence frame. The student provides no evidence about what dolphins can do. Student completes/or not the sentence frame but does not show what dolphins can do nor draws about what dolphins can do.

RI.1.3 Directions for Scoring Notes: Write an overview of what students could include in a proficient response with examples from the text. Be very specific and “lengthy.” Scoring Notes – Teacher Language Sufficient Evidence (conclusion thought or idea) would be that students explain how a dolphin gets air by completing the sentence frame and then writing and drawing more to explain (reason why or how) the dolphin gets air. This is a DOK-3 question which moves beyond the obvious or even explaining the obvious and into reasoning how or why. Student answers should show more depth of understanding. Reasoning answers usually include the word, “because…” Specific Identifications (supporting details) should include the sentence frame that; A dolphin has a blowhole to get air or describing the hole in some way. Writing and drawing “more about it,” should show reasoning such as; (1) dolphins have to come to the top to get air, (2) they come to the top every 2 or 3 minutes and reasoning that (3) when dolphins come to the top they get air through their blowhole because they can’t breathe in the water. Specific Full Support (any other details) should support the student reasoning that dolphins must surface every 2 or 3 minutes to get air. Drawings or more writing could include (1) illustrating the photograph in the story showing the blowhole. 3 Student gives a proficient response by providing evidence to support how a dolphins gets air and reasons more about how or why. Student completes the sentence frame with the word blowhole or hole. Student provides more about how dolphins get air by showing a sense of reason (i.e., the dolphin can’t breathe under water so it has to come to the top every 2 or 3 minutes to get air). 2 Student gives a partial response by providing some evidence to support how a dolphin gets air and some reasoning about how or why. Student completes the sentence frame with the word blowhole or hole. Student shows some sense of reason but not a complete or thorough answer (i.e., the dolphin has to come to the top to breathe). 1 Student gives a minimal response and provides very little evidence to support how a dolphin gets air and little or no reasoning of how or why. Student completes the sentence frame with the word blowhole or hole but does not provide any reasoning to explain how or why the dolphin uses the blowhole. Student provides no evidence to support how dolphins get air. Student response does not answer the prompt or show understanding of the prompt. Toward RI.1.3 DOK-3 Cu Describe the connection of time, sequence or cause and effect between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text.

Essential elements of a complete interpretation of the prompt would be completing the sentence frame with an opinion. The question/prompt does not ask the student to explain the reason. Aspects of the task and sufficient relevant evidence would be a simple statement showing an opinion. 2 Student answer was proficient as an opinion was stated about if James said the right thing. Student completed the response with I think James _________ (did or did not say) the right thing. 1 Student answer was partial as an opinion was not stated about if James said the right thing but effort was made. Student attempted an opinion (i.e., I think James was nice) but not really answering the question. Student answer did not state an opinion about if James said the right thing. Student’s response in no way suggests an opinion.
