FCAT 2.0 Reading Grades 3-10 All multiple-choice items Increased content rigor — aligned to the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) 6

FCAT 2.0 Reading: Examples of Increased Rigor Students will be asked more often to: –use reasonable prior knowledge, such as grade- appropriate vocabulary –make reasonable inferences that are not explicitly text-based –analyze information across a pair of texts, such as making comparisons of main ideas 7

Reading Reporting Categories Changing FCAT ReadingFCAT 2.0 Reading Words and Phrases in ContextVocabulary Main Idea, Plot, and PurposeReading Application Comparisons and Cause and Effect Literary Analysis: Fiction and Non Fiction Reference and ResearchInformational Text and Research Process 8

FCAT 2.0 Mathematics Grades 3-8 Multiple-choice and gridded-response items Increased content rigor — aligned to the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) 9

FCAT 2.0 Mathematics: Examples of Increased Rigor FCAT 2.0 will more often require students to use information learned in an earlier grade and apply it to a current problem. –On FCAT, for example, students responded to items related to mean, median, and mode at several consecutive grades. On FCAT 2.0, this concept is assessed primarily in grade 6, but may be incorporated in test items assessing other benchmarks at grades 7 and 8. Before, students at a certain grade level were asked to make conversions within a measurement system such as converting feet to inches. Now, students will be asked to make conversions across measurement systems such as converting feet to meters. 10

FCAT Mathematics Reporting Categories 11 Grades Reporting Category Number Sense, Concepts, and Operations Measurement Geometry and Spatial Sense Algebraic Thinking Data Analysis and Probability

New FCAT 2.0 Mathematics Reporting Categories Grades Reporting Category Geometry and Measurement Number: Operations, Problems, and Statistics Number: Fractions Number: Operations and Problems Number: Base Ten and Fractions Expressions, Equations, and Statistics Fractions, Ratios, Proportional Relationships, and Statistics Expressions and Equations Ratios and Proportional Relationships Number: Base Ten Statistics and Probability Expressions, Equations, and Functions 12

Algebra 1 EOC Assessment Aligned to the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards Algebra 1 course description Computer-based test with paper-based test accommodations Online reference sheet and straightedge Up to 65 items: –Multiple-choice and fill-in response items –No performance tasks 13

Algebra 1 EOC Assessment: Reporting Categories Functions, Linear Equations, and Inequalities—Solves real- world problems involving relations and functions. Interprets graphs including the domain and range. Uses function notation and links equations to functions. Solves, graphs, and interprets linear equations and inequalities. (55%) Polynomials—Performs operations on polynomials. Simplifies monomial expressions and factors polynomial expressions. (20%) Rationals, Radicals, Quadratics, and Discrete Mathematics— Simplifies rational and radical expressions. Solves algebraic proportions. Performs operations on radical expressions. Interprets graphs of and solves quadratic equations. Performs set operations. Uses and interprets Venn diagrams. (25%) 14

Transitioning from FCAT to FCAT 2.0 For this spring only, FCAT 2.0 will be reported on the existing FCAT scale Must determine the link between the two assessments to report scores and calculate learning gains this spring Multiple procedures were considered and reviewed by advisory committees and technical/legal experts. 15

Equipercentile Linking Links percentiles of two different tests (this case, 2010 FCAT and 2011 FCAT 2.0) Similar to process used to identify concordant scores for SAT and ACT. Percentile scores show how well students did in comparison to other students –For example, a student scoring at the 50th percentile would have half of the students scoring above them and half scoring below them 16

Equipercentile Linking Example The black and green lines represent scores on two different assessments The lines show how the raw score relates to the percentile rank A “black” score of 4.0 and a “green” score of 6.0 are both at the 50th percentile rank and are “equivalent” 17

Example of Statewide Percentages of Students Scoring in Each Achievement Level – FCAT and FCAT AL 5 AL 4 AL 3 AL 2 AL 5 AL 4 AL 3 AL 2 9% 29% 19% 23% 19% 9% 29% 19% 23% 19% FCAT Mathematics Scores Grade FCAT 2.0 Mathematics Scores Grade

2011 FCAT 2.0 Scores For FCAT 2.0, measurement experts will determine “FCAT Equivalent Scores” –Scores on FCAT 2.0 and FCAT that have the same percentile rank Existing FCAT achievement level cut scores will be used in 2011 When we look at the statewide results, the percent of students in each achievement level will be the same as in 2010 At the district and school levels, the percent of students in each achievement level will likely vary. 19

2011 Algebra 1 End-of-Course Assessment Scores 2011 Baseline year: Student results will be reported as T scores –T-score scale provides a student’s score in relationship to the mean –T scores are on a scale of –The mean or average T score is 50 Achievement levels will be set in fall 2011 and not reported this spring 20

T Scores 21 Average Score

Fall 2011: Standard Setting FCAT 2.0 and Algebra 1 End-of-Course Assessment Purpose: Identify the “cut points” that will define the five new Achievement Levels Level 1Level 5Level 2Level 3Level 4 LowHigh Five Achievement Levels, Four Cut Points 22

Standard-Setting Steps 1.Develop definitions of each achievement level 2.Develop achievement-level descriptions 3.Convene a standard-setting panel composed of educators 4.Conduct the standard-setting process to identify and recommend cut scores 5.Convene a business and policy leader reactor panel to review and recommend cut scores 6.Obtain State Board of Education approval of cut scores with public input 23
