28. State Assessment Change Timeline Spring 2013: ISAT with 10- 20% Change to CCSS Spring 2014: ISAT with Additional Change to CCSS Spring 2015: PARCC Assessments: Fully Aligned to CCSS

29. Current ISAT Questions: 4th Grade Math: Find the answer: 7 X 5 = 8th Grade Math: Expand (x – 2)( x – 3). PARCC Prototype Questions: 3 rd Grade Math: Amber didn’t know what 7 X 5 equals, but she knew 5 X 5 = 25 and 2 X 5 = 10. Use drawings, words, and/or equations to explain why Amber can add 25 and 10 to find what 7 X 5 equals. 6 th Grade Math: What is the value of 3x + y + 3 – 3(x + y) when x = 18.22 and y = -1? Find a value for k and a value for n so that (x – 2)(x – 3) = x 2 + kx + n. PARCC Item Development ITN Changes in Types of Understanding Assessed

30. Current ISAT Questions: 4th Grade Math: Find the answer: 7 x 5 = 3 rd Grade Math: 8 x 5 = __ 8 x __ = 40 9 x 4 = __ x 9 4 x 2 x __ = 40 4 x 2 x __ = 5 x 2 x 2 x 2 9 x 4 = 4 x __ x __ 8 x __ = 4 x __ PARCC Item Development ITN Changes in Types of Understanding Assessed PARCC Prototype Questions:

31. Grade 4: PARCC Sample Performance Task in Mathematics – Part One – Tasks Assessing Concepts, Skills, and Procedures Math Standard 4.NBT.3: Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place. Math Practice Standards 1, 4, 6

32. Grade 4: PARCC Sample Performance Task in Mathematics– Part Two – Tasks Assessing Expressing Mathematical Reasoning Math Standard 4.NBT.3: Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place. Math Practice Standards 1, 2, 3

33. Grade 4: PARCC Sample Performance Task in Mathematics – Part Three – Tasks Assessing Modeling & Application Math Standard 4.NBT.3: Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place. Math Practice Standards 1, 2, 4, 8

34. Prototype CCSS/PARCC Questions for English Language Arts Standard 3: Key Ideas & Details Students read Robert Cole’s retelling of a series of historical events in “The Story of Ruby Bridges.” Using their knowledge of how cause and effect gives order to events, they use specific language to describe the sequence of events that leads to Ruby desegregating her school. (Third Grade) Students explain the relationship between time and clocks using specific information drawn from Bruce Koscielniak’s “About Time: A First Look at Time & Clocks.” (Fifth Grade)

37. Continuum of Services Differentiated classroom instruction content, process, product, learning style, interest Consultation with gifted educator strategies, materials, groupings Extended Services instruction above grade level

38. Extended Programs in Elementary School Math Replacement: Grades 3-5 In home school with Extended Resource Teacher Based on accelerated instruction, 1-2 reps. for mastery, depth of problem solving and analysis Reading Replacement: Grades 3-5 In home school with Extended Resource Teacher Concept-based approach to higher level reasoning and thinking through inquiry dialogue Self-Contained Program: Grades 3-5 At Hough School Full day program for students whose needs can not be met by replacement Extended classes

39. Identification for Extended Resource Classes (Instruction above grade level) Teacher recommendation Formal assessments: Achievement : MAP Reading and/or Math 95+ National Percentile Reasoning: CogAT Reading and/or Math 95+ Local Percentile

40. Identification for Hough Self-Contained Classes Grades 3-5 Ability determined to be in top 1-2% of district 3 rd, 4 th, 5 th grade Nominated by classroom teacher Eligibility documented by: Individual IQ tests Achievement assessments, informal assessments Interviews Work samples, anecdotal information Intensity & accelerated interest Less time for mastery (1-2 repetitions) Intense concentration; sustained intellectual effort Passion for area(s) of interest Abstract introspection; awareness; sensitivity Theoretical & moral thinking Needs beyond Extended replacement classes

41. Other Elementary Continuum Services Determined by readiness, developmental appropriateness, ongoing assessment, review Literacy program Science program Extended staff – consultation and materials Information regarding outside enrichment Professional development for general ed and Extended teachers – differentiation classes, conferences, workshops
