WERA December 2008 Mathematics Assessment Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction What is the COE? A legislatively approved alternative to the WASL that is comparable in rigor to the WASL; WASL is still the standard for assessing a student’s skills and knowledge One way a student can meet requirements for a Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA) Designed for students who have the skills and knowledge assessed on the WASL

WERA December 2008 Mathematics Assessment Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction What’s in a COE Student work samples developed over time in academic and/or career and technical classes Each work sample demonstrates both mathematical content and process The work is aligned to the grade 10 Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs), Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) and Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL)

WERA December 2008 Mathematics Assessment Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction COE Scoring Program

WERA December 2008 Mathematics Assessment Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Strand Scores – June 2008 Mean strand scores (out of 16 possible) – Number Sense – – Measurement – – Geometric Sense – – Probability and Statistics – – Algebraic Sense – – Solves Problems/Reasons Logically – – Communicates Understanding – – Makes Connections – 6.34

WERA December 2008 Mathematics Assessment Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Collections with Strand Scores of 0 June 2008 (out of ~2,700 COEs) – Number Sense – 0 – Measurement – 2 – Geometric Sense – 2 – Probability and Statistics – 6 – Algebraic Sense – 4 – Solves Problems/Reasons Logically – 4 – Communicates Understanding – 4 – Makes Connections – 256

WERA December 2008 Mathematics Assessment Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Makes Connections – June 2008 Those COEs with MC strand score of 0 – Majority came from 6 school districts 184 out of the 256 (See District Score Report) – Number of MC tasks in these 256 collections 0 MC tasks: 74 collections (0 possible strand points) 1 MC task: 118 collections (8 possible strand points) 2 MC tasks: 60 collections (16 possible strand points) 3 MC tasks: 4 collections (16 possible strand points)

WERA December 2008 Mathematics Assessment Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction June 2008 to February 2009 COEs with MC strand score of 0 – Mean COE score of – 95 meet standard (37.1% of 256) – 44 are eligible to augment in February (27.3% of 161 who did not meet standard) All COEs – Mean COE score of – 1,876 meet standard (69.6% of 2, 697) – 285 are eligible to augment in February (34.7% of 821 who did not meet standard)
