1. Intro to aimsweb Plus September 12, 2016
Jane Sturgell, S. Psy. S., NCSP
School Psychologist & MTSS Consultant

2. MTSS CELEBRATIONS
CBMs within one system (aimsweb Plus) with Digital Record Forms (DRF) and Test Nav app
Creating EasyCBM Rosters and Uploading to Data Director
Hand scoring and data entry for M-Comp
Hand scoring and data entry for MLPP
Introducing Standards Based Assessments (SBA)
Vocabulary
Reading Comprehension
Math Concepts & Applications
MLPP is now optional to help guide instruction / intervention with no deadlines or data entry. Used for diagnostic purposes versus screener

3. ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW
Update all CBMs to new assessments from aimsweb Plus
(Eliminate: AIMSweb M-Comp, EasyCBM Math / Word Reading & DIBELS Next)
Add M-Step in Grades 4-8 as Fall data point only
Add Brigance & PEARL to Fall Kindergarten
Add SRI to Grade 2
MLPP assessments optional
Update social-emotional / behavior screener to SRSS-IE (K-6)
Eliminating --- AIMSweb Mcomp (8 minutes), DIBELS reading assessments and EasyCBM – 3 math assessments K-6, Word Reading assessment grades 2-3
K = added Brigance Screener & PEARL – administered by Speech Pathologist as part of Story Champs (doing anyway)
2nd grade SRI = was doing this anyway but is now a data point
Behavior screener – no longer two separate assessments, now in one Excel sheet

4. TENTATIVE ASSESSMENT TIMELINE
Fall: Testing Window 9/19-9/30/16
SRI: September 19-23
DRA: 1st & 2nd September 19-23
DRA: 3rd - 6th September 26-30
aimsweb Plus: K-8 September 19-30
SRSS-IE (Behavior Screener in K-6): October 17-28
Winter: Testing Window 1/16/17 - 1/27/16
Specifics to come
Spring: Testing Window 5/15/17 - 5/26/17
SRI window – tighter

8. OVERVIEW of AIMSWEB PLUS
All NEW measures with strong technical adequacy
“Digital record forms” for Kindergarten / First Grade
“Digital record forms” for Oral Reading Fluency (Grades 1-6)
Online, Group administered assessments for Grades 2-6 in “Test Nav”
Eliminates paper / hand scoring  Eliminates calculating raw scores  Eliminates data entry!
Reporting capabilities
AIMSWEB Fall Assessments – completed by intervention staff (Not GE teacher) – School – Wide assessment team (SWAT)
Teachers will still do their own DRAs and help proctor group AIMSweb assessments
Digital Record Forms – one on one; student has hard copy of materials, teacher scores on iPad/MacBook
Oral Reading Fluency – one on one (DIBELS); student has hard copy of materials, teacher scores on iPad/MacBook
Grades 2+ - Test Nav app (teachers and interventionists help students get logged in to app – each student has a unique username and password like MStep

35. Why use General Outcome Measurement?
Medicine measures height, weight, temperature, and/or blood pressure
Federal Reserve Board measures the Consumer Price Index
Wall Street measures the Dow-Jones Industrial Average
Companies report earnings per share
McDonald’s measures how many hamburgers they sell

36. Curriculum-Based Measurement
CBM is one type of Curriculum-Based Assessment.
CBA is the direct assessment of what is taught in the classroom.
CBM is a standardized set of methods for assessing students’ skills in different areas.
Reading, Mathematics, Spelling and Writing
Most helpful in lower elementary grades and struggling learners through grade 8
Oral Reading Fluency is the single best predictor of general reading achievement through 8th grade

55. Administration: General Considerations
Altering instructions or presentation of test forms, providing hints, giving corrective feedback or using test forms as teaching tools will invalidate results
1:1 & Online testing completed in a quiet space (limited distractions)
1:1 – position yourself so you are across from a student at a small table or the corner of a larger table
If testing is spoiled (interrupted during fluency measures), students can retake the test a few days later

56. Administration: General Considerations
Accommodations – changes made to test setting, timing, presentation format or response format that minimize obstacles to perceiving / respond to test content WITHOUT changing the test – are permitted
TestNav – has a menu of special accommodations tools / features for SWD (contract settings, magnifier, answering masking, show / hide line reader
ORF – enlarging / modifying
Special lighting, adaptive furniture, etc.
Modifications – changes made to the testing process or content – are not permitted
Hints
Corrective feedback
Extended time on timed measures (ORF, MCF, etc.)

57. Administration: Math Grades 2 - 8
No calculators are permitted on any measure
Number Comparison Fluency – Triads (NCF-T) & Mental Computation Fluency (MCF) are fluency measures with strict time limits
Concepts & Applications (screening only)
Students are allowed scratch paper and pencil
Untimed
Audio available

58. Administration: Math Grades 2-8
Online measures (NCF-T, MCF and C&A) – all test directions & content are presented on iPad using the TestNav app (Self-Service)
Each student will need headphones / ear buds (have student test audio before beginning)
Examiners present and supervise (proctor) sessions

59. Administration: Math Grades 2-8

63. Reading: Online Test Sessions
Encourage students to take any bathroom or water breaks before testing begins
Consider using a DND sign
Be an active proctor
Do not allow students to talk
Address questions individually by going TO the student with a question
Do not answer any questions about the test items themselves
Encourage students to answer test items based on what they think each item is asking and to the best of their abilities

64. Oral Reading Fluency (ORF)
MUST complete online portions (Grades 2+) before you can assess ORF
1:1 using a Digital Record Form (DRF) - just like AIMSweb 1.0 Live)
Directions appear in bold on screen
Preview student passage to make sure it matches
Begin when student begins reading
Allow 3 seconds for the student to respond (timer in top right corner)
Allow 10 seconds for student to sound out / subvocalize before saying the word and marking it incorrect
Mark skipped lines, but do not redirect or give corrective feedback
If student self-corrects within 3 seconds, record response as correct (re-click word)

65. ORF
“When I say Begin, start reading aloud at the top of this page. Read across the page (demonstrate by moving finger across the page). Try to read each word. Ready? Begin.”
After 1 minute, say “Stop” & record last word student read.
For Benchmarking, have student turn to the second story page and say: “Let’s try another one. Be sure to do your best reading. Ready? Begin.”
Note: if a student finishes in less than one minute, click the pause button and select “Score Completed Form” from the pop-up menu
Discontinue rule: if student reads 10 or fewer words on the first story, do not administer the second story. Click the pause icon and select “Discontinue Form” from the pop-up menu

66. ORF Words are incorrect if: Do not penalize for: A word is skipped
Any sound in a word is mispronounced
A different word is substituted
A word is not read in its proper sequence
An abbreviation is read rather than the full word it presents
The student self-corrects after 3 seconds have elapsed, or
No attempt is made within 3 seconds
Do not penalize for:
Self-corrections made within 3 seconds
Repeated words
Inserted words
Regional dialects, or
Articulation disorders

67. To assess ORF: Open Digital Record Form
