SOL Remediation

Types of Assessment  Formal vs. Informal  Written vs. Performance Tasks vs. Projects vs. Portfolios  Summative vs. Diagnostic vs. Formative

Summative Assessments  Designed to measure knowledge, skills, and abilities after instruction has taken place.  Typically Summative Assessments has “Pass” and “Fail” associated with them which distinguishes them from Formative and Diagnostic which don’t.  Examples: SOL SAT/ACT Final Exams or tests

Diagnostic Assessment  Understand the current knowledge, skill, and/or ability so that we can diagnose the gap and thereby provide a prescription for learning if required.  Identify students’ current knowledge of a subject, their skill sets and capabilities, and to clarify misconceptions before teaching takes place.  Knowing students’ strengths and weaknesses can help you better plan what to teach and how to teach it. Examples:  NWEA  ARDT  Teacher Evaluation Skills/Tasks

Formative Assessment  Provide feedback and information during the instructional process, while learning is taking place, and while learning is occurring.  Used to strengthen memory recall by practice and to correct misconceptions and to promote confidence in ones knowledge. Examples:  Warm-ups & Exit tickets  ActivEngage  Informal assessments – survey, thumbs up/thumbs down

SPBQ Report  Student Performance By Question (SPBQ)  SOL report generated from VDOE  Breaks down SOL into question stems

Determine what is important!  Identify district and school strengths and weaknesses  Ideal time – summer planning, beginning of the year How can I use this now?  Examine topics of emphasis  Examine question stems – TEI? Rigor?

Team approach  Work smarter – not harder!  Examine your pacing for remainder of the year

Algebra Readiness Diagnostic Test (ARDT)  Math 6 – Algebra 1  Limited licenses/units  Computer adaptive  Old SOL items and new TEI items  Strand reports

SOL Simulation  2013 SOL Simulation administration Split into reporting categories. Give in parts or as a whole – school-based decision! Different scenarios: ○ Focus on “endurance” ○ Focus on “instructional time” Remediate immediately based upon student performance.
