4. Comprehensive Assessment System for Louisiana Districts and Schools
The Louisiana Department of Education is focused on creating a comprehensive assessment system.
If you attended any of the ELA and math assessment sessions during the September Teacher Leader/Supervisor Collaboration events, you received a preview of the non-summative assessment resources the Department intends to make available to districts. These resources are optional to districts and are intended to give educators access to tools that will measure and monitor student performance throughout the school year. We are excited about this work and eager to get high quality resources into the hands of administrators and teachers.

5. Comprehensive Assessment System Non-Summative Assessment Resources
The Department is building a comprehensive assessment system through the development of high-quality summative and non-summative assessments that
align to Louisiana’s Student Standards
provide a more complete picture of student learning, which includes
Grades 3 through high school diagnostic assessments
Grades 3 through high school interim assessments
Ongoing classroom assessments (including EAGLE 2.0 and K-2 Formative Tasks)
Annual statewide assessments, including aligned resources
provide districts and schools with access to one delivery system for all summative and non-summative assessments  
The vision includes the development of high-quality summative and non-summative assessments.
Today, we will talk about one of the non-summative resources the department is developing to support districts and schools - EAGLE 2.0.

11. EAGLE 2.0 Session Objectives
During this session, school-level users will:
Understand the benefits of using EAGLE in the classroom

12. What is EAGLE 2.0?
EAGLE 2.0 is an online assessment tool that supports formative assessment in the classroom and can be used to aid and enhance student learning throughout the year.
The system provides Louisiana teachers with a bank of high quality assessment items that can be used to create online tests. Other functions include:
creating and assigning students to groups
accessing student performance reports
EAGLE 2.0 has been around for several years and has served as a valuable resource for teachers. As you know, the old EAGLE platform is no longer available. Over the summer, the Department began moving old EAGLE items to the new platform. Today there are over 4,100 items in the new EAGLE platform. This includes math, ELA, science and social studies items.
Today, EAGLE includes autoscored/computer scored items. The Department will be releasing a new functionality that will allow users to hand-score constructed response items. More information about this functionality will be shared later this year.
ELA includes all of the items from the old platform. All ELA items are built as a passage set. Additional ELA items will be added once the hand-scoring functionality is released.

13. How can EAGLE support teachers in the classroom?
Create student groups to target the specific needs of students.
Build and share tests across and within schools.
Access high quality item, passages , and text-dependent questions.
View and share immediate results for computer scored items.
Make timely interventions to adjust instruction throughout the school year.
Support other formative assessment activities in the classroom.
Here are a few ways that EAGLE can be used in the classroom.
