Type: Norm referenced administered Reading, Language, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. The tests assess both basic skills and higher order thinking skills. Purpose: Improve instruction and student learning Spring 2012 Form E Common Core Norms: 1

Rationale ~ (Arch)Dioceses in Florida Sister Seven includes St. Petersburg Reflects changes in Curriculum and Instruction (esp. technology) Greater emphasis on Problem Solving and Critical Thinking Common Core Baseline for future growth Data to inform and revise IOWA – PARC?

Educational Use: Identify strengths and weaknesses Inform Monitor growth Measure core standards Implement Response to Intervention (RTI) Inform placement decisions Make comparisons Evaluate programs Predict future performance Support accountability

Accommodation Vs. Modification

National Percentile Rank (NPR) A Percentile Rank indicating the status or relative rank of a student's score compared to a nationally representative sample of examinees.

Looking at your report! Percentile Rank For example, if a student earned a 72nd Percentile Rank in Language, this would mean he or she scored better than 72 percent of the students in a particular norm group who were administered that same test of Language. 99 Pieces
