Monitoring Basic Skills Progress (MBSP) Training Presentation Administration and Scoring of MBSP Computation and MBSP Concepts & Application

Agenda Overview MBSP Assessments Overview SMSD Testing Plan Scoring and Administration of MBSP Assessments

MBSP Assessments Measure Test Arrangement What is Scored Computation Group (written test) Digits Correct in Answer Concepts & Applications

Computation Assessment Grades 1-6 25 problems See manual pages 6-10 Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division Whole numbers, fractions and decimals

Concepts & Applications Assessment Grades 2-6 18 problems (grade 2), 23-25 (grades 3-6) See manual pages 16-25 Number concepts Names of numbers and vocabulary Measurement Charts and graphs Grid reading (coordinate plane) Areas and perimeters Fractions, decimals and word problems

Assessment Plan 3rd-6th grades Timeframe Assessment Students Fall Window NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) All Fall Semester Progress Monitoring Monitoring Basic Skills Progress (MBSP) Computation and Concepts & Applications Targeted October Math Basic Skills Test 1 December Math Basic Skills Test 2 Winter Window MAP District Guidelines (all 6th, select prealgebra candidates 5th, etc.) January Window (same as DIBELS) MBSP Spring Semester Progress Monitoring March Math Basic Skills Test 3 March/April Kansas Math Assessment Spring Window

Progress Monitoring Beginning Fall 2011 Similar to reading protocol Strategic = monitor bi-weekly Intensive = monitor weekly Select one measure to monitor Computation Concepts & Applications Monthly, not weekly or bi-weekly

MTSS Math Progress Monitoring Guidance Third - Sixth Grade Above 40%ile NWEA MAP No monitoring Below 40%ile Administer MBSP (Computation and Concepts & Applications) (above target) Established Computation Concepts & Applications monthly Monitor Emerging bi- weekly Computation Deficient weekly then if then if then if then if if then

Administration and Scoring Computation

Computation—Time Limits See page 1 of manual Grade 1 2 minutes Grade 2 2 minutes Grade 3 3 minutes Grade 4 3 minutes Grade 5 5 minutes Grade 6 6 minutes

Computation—Script See manual page 2 Complete directions the first time Second half of directions for progress monitor and subsequent benchmarks (Look for the paragraph “Now you’re ready to give the first test.”)

Computation—Test Copies Blue book Test 1 = Fall Benchmark Test 2 = Winter Benchmark Test 3 = Spring Benchmark Tests 4-30 = Progress Monitoring

Computation—Answer Keys Version 1 Begin on page 39 of manual Version 2 See colored folder for hand-written keys Answers and point values

Computation—Scoring Rules Points are awarded for the number of correct digits in the answer Examples (3 points possible) 285 - 43 242 3 points 222 2 points

Computation—Scoring Rules (cont.) Unnecessary Zeros Not wrong, but no points awarded Example Student answer 03 Correct answer 3 1 point for the 3

Computation—Scoring Rules (cont.) Division with remainders Answer should be # R # R is place holder, no points Example 4 points 104R2 Same is true for the decimal point and the fraction bar

Computation—Scoring Practice

Concepts & Applications Administration and Scoring Concepts & Applications

Concepts & Applications—Time Limits See page 12 of manual Grade 2 8 minutes Grade 3 6 minutes Grade 4 6 minutes Grade 5 7 minutes Grade 6 7 minutes

Concepts & Applications—Script See manual page 12-13 Complete directions the first time Last third of directions for progress monitor and subsequent benchmarks (Look for the paragraph “Now you’re ready to give the first test.”)

Concepts & Applications—Test Copies Orange book 3 pages long Test 1 = Fall Benchmark Test 2 = Winter Benchmark Test 3 = Spring Benchmark Tests 4-30 = Progress Monitoring

Concepts & Applications—Answer Keys Version 1 Begin on page 56 of manual Formatted on page like the test Version 2 Begin on page 96 of manual Just a list of answers Version 3 See colored folder for hand-written keys Answers and point values

Concepts & Applications—Scoring Rules One point is awarded for each answer blank Exceptions Grades 2-4 Word Problems & Money 1 point per digit in answer $ and . are not worth points but must be present for student to earn any points c ok if less than 1 dollar Grades 5-6 Word Problems & Charts/Graphs

Concepts & Applications—Scoring Rules—cont. Unnecessary Zeros Not wrong, but no points awarded Example Student answer 03 Correct answer 3 1 point for the 3 Labels on Word Problems Not required except for money Not wrong
