Setting the Context 10

1. Applying knowledge of the purposes, characteristics, and uses of different types of assessments 2. Collecting and analyzing assessment data from a variety of sources to inform instruction 3. Reviewing data, both individually and with colleagues, to monitor student learning 4. Using assessment data to establish learning goals and to plan, differentiate, and modify instruction 5. Involving all students in self-assessment, goal setting, and monitoring progress 6. Using available technologies to assist in assessment, analysis, and communication of student learning 7. Using assessment information to share timely and comprehensible feedback with students and their families 12 CSTP 5: Assessing Students for Learning

FUSD Continuum of Standards 13

Activator: 14

Activator- Assessment Terms  Assessment literacy is a broader topic than what we are focusing on today. 1. From the list of assessment terms, use the scale to rate your familiarity. 2. Use the notes column to write down definitions or examples of the terms you know 3. Fill any blank spaces in the notes column as you hear the presentation. 15

Assessment Literacy 16

The Assessment Challenge How do we get from here......to here? All students leave high school college and career ready Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness...and what can an assessment system do to help? 17

Two Dimensions of Assessment  Formative and Summative Formative and Summative  Embedded and Transfer of Learning 18

Formative or Summative?  Formative  Intention – inform next steps for teaching / learning  During an instructional sequence (lesson, module, unit)  Feedback is descriptive  Not for grading/ accountability  Summative  Intention - determines status of learning  After instructional sequence  Evaluative feedback  Ok for grading / accountability 19

Embedded or Transfer of Learning?  Embedded Within the unit/lesson A part of the teaching/ learning  Transfer of learning Can students transfer what is learned through teaching to a new context, without teaching support? 20

Scope and Sequence Vocabulary  District Common Assignment- A task charging students to engage in content and skills distinguished by a PROMPT, A PRODUCT, AND A RUBRIC  an assignment is intentionally taught and focused on student achievement. (FUSD Common Assignment includes the above definition for K-12)  Previously known as the Culminating Task  AC created using district provided frame 21

Shifts in Summative Assessment  Each state procured their own assessments  Measured proficiency against state, not agreed upon standards  Results often delivered months after the test  Most administered on paper  Common, comparable scores across states measuring college and career readiness  Providing achievement and growth information for educational decisions and professional development  Administered online, with timely results From: To: 24

A Balanced Assessment System- Smarter Balanced Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready Teachers and schools have information and tools they need to improve teaching and learning Interim assessments Flexible, open, used for actionable feedback Summative assessments Benchmarked to college and career readiness Teacher resources for formative assessment practices to improve instruction 25

Understanding the SBAC Blueprints Overarching Claims 3-8 and High School Targets Standards Assessment Claims 30

Overarching Claims for English Language Arts/Literacy () Total English language arts / literacy (Grades 3-8) “Students can demonstrate progress toward college and career readiness in English language arts and literacy.” Total English language arts / literacy (High School) “Students can demonstrate college and career readiness in English language arts and literacy.” 31

Claims for ELA & Literacy 32 Claim #1 Reading: Students can read closely and analytically to comprehend a range of increasingly complex literary and informational texts. Claim #2 Writing: Students can produce effective and well- grounded writing for a range of purposes and audiences. Claim #3 Speaking/Listening: Students can employ effective speaking and listening skills for a range of purposes and audiences. Claim #4 Research: Students can engage in research/inquiry to investigate topics, and to analyze, integrate, and present information.

Creating a Grade Level Assessment  Determine whether this assessment is to be embedded or transfer of knowledge  Determine whether this assessment is to be formative or summative  Identify the Standards to be addressed  Identify the range of complexity (DOK)  Determine which item type(s) support the standard(s) to be assessed 37

Billy Sunday and Rev. Wasson Item Written for C3 Framework and CA H/SS Standards Compared to an Item Written for CCSS Literacy Standards 38

H/SS Summative Assessments Test a student’s ability to think historically within the context of the chosen H/SS CA standards and C3 indicators that are called out in the appendix of the Scope and Sequence. 39

Accountable Community Teamwork 1. Each grade level will be given a piece of text tied to a CA H/SS Standard from the Quarter 3 Scope and Sequence. 2. Choose a C3 Indicator from the Quarter 3 Scope and Sequence. 3. Write a summative assessment item. 40

Educational Technology 45  Technology, used effectively, can help all students meet and exceed the rigorous learning goals embedded in the Common Core State Standards  Focus on developing the necessary technology integration skills for mastery of content, development of College and Career Ready skills, and performing well on the Smarter Balanced Assessments  Will promote students who are engaged and empowered to be inquisitive, creative, and resourceful problem-solvers who discover, collaborate and interact in meaningful ways

Digital Literacy Instructional Technology  Prerequisite computer skills  Online Assessment Literacy  Common Core standards enhanced and supported by technology Educational Technology: Areas of Focus 46

Digital Literacy Instructional Technology  Students are explicitly taught the skill of how to input numbers and create a spreadsheet on the tablet  During a math lesson, students create a spreadsheet to demonstrate understanding of information from a data set pulled from math text Mathematics Example 47
