Participation and Supported Independence (P/SI) v1.5 English Language Arts OEAA 2006 Conference Session 37

Why P/SI v1.5? June 2006 letter from USED – Original P/SI did not: –Explicitly measure Michigan’s ELA or Mathematics content standards –Report scores separately by content area

Why P/SI v1.5? P/SI for 2005/2006 –Participating but not Proficient Required development of new, content-area specific assessments for 2006/2007 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

P/SI v1.5 vs. Original P/SI Increased standardization Structured, on-demand activity item format Measure content areas explicitly Scoring –Rubric – 2 Assessment Administrators

P/SI v1.5 Draft EGLCE/EB P/SI ELA and Mathematics Assessment Plan Writing Team (APWT) Using FI EGLCE/EB, extended for SI and P Reduced depth, breadth, and complexity

Item Difficulty and Complexity Difficulty and/or Complexity increase in two ways –EGLCE/EB across grade spans –Same EGLCE/EB in all grade spans, but number of trials increases

Supported Independence GLCE to EGLCE GLCE: S.CN –Adjust their use of language to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes (e.g., community–building, appreciation/ invitations, crass-curricular discussions. EGLCE: S.CN.e.EG02 (1 section) –Make progress toward communicating appropriately, e.g., listen actively while others are speaking; take turns when talking; and use polite expressions such as Thank you, You’re welcome.

Supported Independence Item Activity: The student will correctly use 1 common courtesy word and/or phrase such as “please,” “thank you,” or “you’re welcome,” while interacting with staff during snack or lunchtime. Scoring Focus: Using language to communicate effectively for different purposes

Participation GLCE to EGLE GLCE: R.WS –Know the meaning of frequently encountered words in written and oral contexts EGLCE: R.WS.m.EG04 –Identify words encountered frequently in specific contexts, e.g., recognize vocabulary words accompanied by pictures associated with different tasks and/or vocations.

Participation Item Activity: The student will correctly identify 2 words paired with pictures (from a set of 2 related and 2 unrelated words with pictures) associated with personal hygiene/grooming tasks such as comb, toothbrush, or deodorant during the preparation time for a personal hygiene/grooming activity. Scoring Focus: Identifying frequently encountered words related to a task.

Administration Considerations Words/Pictures –Selecting 1 from a set of 4 –Selection 2 from a set of 4 –Selecting 3 from a set of 6

Selecting 1 Word from a Set of 4 Presented with all 4 words visually accessible at one time Assessed using a “yes/no” response by presenting each word beginning with an unrelated and moving to a related

Selecting 2 Words from a Set of 4 Presented with all 4 words visually accessible at one time.

Selecting 2 Words from a Set of 4 Assessed using a “yes/no” response Presenting 2 sets of 2 words (one related and one unrelated in each set).

Selecting 3 Words from a Set of 6 Presented with all 6 words visually accessible at one time Assessed using a “yes/no” response by presenting 3 sets of 2 words (one related and one unrelated in each set).
