Getting Ready for MAP/EOC 2015

News from DESE & SBAC  17 states (including Missouri) voted on Nov. 14 to accept the Achievement Levels/Scale Scores for the ELA and Math Tests  states-approve-achievement-level-recommendations/ states-approve-achievement-level-recommendations/

News from DESE & SBAC  The company providing the grades 3-8 tests is DRC (an affiliate of CTB), and the test will be aligned to Smarter Balanced.  The new test will look different than the sample/field tests from last year.  Reference DESE website for testing information (DO NOT go directly to Smarter Balanced website)

News from DESE & SBAC  The new MAP test will be practiced on 6 different platforms to make sure they all work. (Mac, PC, iPad, etc.)  The same test "platform format" will be used for ELA, Math, and Science grades 3-8  DRC will also provide the new ACCESS test for ELL next year.  Online supports (such as audio reading) will be available at certain grades.  Only students with IEP/ELL/504 accommodations should use some support features. These may invalidate scores for other students.

DESE News & Recommendations  MAP Practice Tests WILL CHANGE (new practice tests should be available in Dec. or Jan.)  Tests are not timed and short breaks will be allowed  If the break is over 20 minutes, the student will not be able to go back to previous questions.  High School EOC will continue to use Questar The biggest changes for EOC testing are  addition of Physical Science  addition of Writing Performance in English I  Performance Events will be worth up to 10 points  iTester can be used for EOC practice now

Number of Items

Item and Response Types  Selected Response  Constructed Response  Performance Tasks  Response type examples  Multiple Correct Response  Graphing  Drag and Drop

Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT)  Provides more accurate scores for all students across the full range of the achievement continuum  Individually tailored set of questions to each student and can quickly identify which skills students have mastered

Assessment Claims Broad evidence-based statements about what college and career ready students know and can do as demonstrated by their performance on the assessment. ELA Claims

Each Claim is Broken into Assessment Targets  Performance expectations that will be assessed and reported on as evidence supporting each claim  Identifies the kinds of evidence that would be sufficient to support the claims.

MLS Standards  Define the knowledge and skills students need in each grade and course.  CCSS (ELA and Math)  GLE (Science, Social Studies, World Languages, Fine Arts, health/PE) CCSS + GLE = New MLS
