2. OECD Test For Schools Workshop September 2014 Take an opportunity to look at the sample questions posted around the room

3. Develop a deeper understanding of the OECD Test for Schools and the type of questions tested Identify strategies to “unpack” the school report and understand various graphs Engage in a data dialogue protocol to analyze district data Determine next steps and plan for the use of your school data Outcomes

4. Work with the people at your table to determine which number from the number bank accurately completes each statement. By the Numbers

5. The OECD Test for Schools was piloted in 2013 in 105 schools across the US. There were 10 FCPS schools involved. The age of the student who takes the assessment is 15. The OECD Test for Schools data is comparable to existing Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) scales. The international PISA results are published every 3 years. 75 is the suggested minimum target number of students tested at each school. Average number of FCPS students at a school who took the assessment in 2013-14 school year is 64.  Answers

6. Answers Continued For the OECD Test for Schools, students respond to approximately 2 hours of test questions in reading, mathematics and science and answer a 30 minute student questionnaire that is an important part of the assessment. The total percentage of simple multiple choice items on the mathematics, reading and science test 34%. Besides the mean average score, schools receive information about the percentage of students who performed in each of the 6 proficiency levels. Predict the FCPS Mean Performance Scores for 2013: Mathematics: 524 Reading: 523 Science: 531
