14. Roles  Choose one person to be a scribe to record the questions  Choose one person to be the referee to ensure that there is no discussion – just questions!

15. PRODUCING THE QUESTIONS 1.Follow the Rules for Producing Questions. 2.Number your questions. 5 minutes QFocus: Addressing Common Core with ELL Students in the Gen Ed Classroom

16. IMPROVING THE QUESTIONS You might have these two kinds of questions in your list: Closed-ended questions – they can be answered with “yes” or “no” or with one word. Open-ended questions – they require an explanation and cannot be answered with yes” or “no” or with one word.

23. PRIORITIZE YOUR QUESTIONS Choose the three most important questions from your list. Keep in mind the QFocus. Mark each priority question with an “X” 3 minutes

24. SHARE YOUR QUESTIONS Please share: The questions you changed from closed to open-ended and from open-ended to closed. Read each question as originally written and how it was changed your three priority questions your rationale for selecting those three the numbers of your priority questions

25. NEXT STEPS 1.Consider your 3 priority questions. Based on those, select one article to read before our next meeting in March. We will have a discussion about the article then? https://corelaborate.psesd.org/district-literacy- leaders-resources/ 2 minutes

32. ELPS TRAINING: UNDERSTANDING AND APPLYING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY STANDARDS

33. FROM:  EALRs and GLEs for Reading, Writing, and Communication2008  Mathematics Learning Standards2009  Science Learning Standards  ELD Standards TO:  Washington State Learning Standards English Language Arts (CCSS ELA)  Washington State Learning Standards Mathematics (CCSS Mathematics)  Washington State Learning Standards Science (NGSS)  ELP Standards The Big Ideas

36. Reading the ELPS

37. Organized by Grade Level and Common Core State Standard CCSS ELP Standard Descriptors of student performance based on Level of English proficiency

38. Applying the ELPS Objective ELPS Differentiation Standard

39. Thinking about a classroom example Watching this video, review corresponding ELPS for the standards addressed in this lesson: RI5.1 SL5.1 W52.B

40. Vital Areas of Focus:  Collaboration between ELL, Gen Ed, Specialists & Content Teachers as ELPS are learned and implemented  Integration of ELPS and the WA State Learning Standards  Retention of High Expectations for ELLs (while providing appropriate changes in the way learning may be accessed, demonstrated or achievement measured)  Implementation of effective scaffolding strategies for students needing English language support

Practice and Training Test options This is how students can take practice tests at home, for example, or how a member of the public can take a practice test Guest student Guest session Requires a Test Administrator with a user account in TIDE Guest student Real session Requires the student to be present in TIDE and requires a Test Administrator with a user account in TIDE This most closely mimics the operational environment Real student Real session Smarter Balanced Portal WCAP Portal

46. IABs for ELA Interim Assessment Blocks (IAB) Grades 6-8 1 Read Literary Texts 2 Read Informational Texts 3 Edit/Revise 4 Brief Writes 5 Listen/Interpret 6 Research 7 Narrative Performance Task* Not available in 2014-2015 8 Opinion Performance Task* Not available in 2014-2015 9 Informational Performance Task* * This is a full Performance Task as students experience in the summative assessment

47. Interim Assessment User Interface, Scoring and Reporting  User interface  Details for accessing items are not yet determined. Interim test engine is still in development.  Scoring  Interim assessments will have various item types, most of which will be machine scored  Hand scoring will be a local (school/classroom) responsibility (Information coming to portal soon)  Rubrics and training will be provided online as part of the system

48. ICA Reporting  ICA reporting is the same as for the summative assessment:  Overall scale score with error band endpoints and achievement level per content area/subject.  Claim score reporting is based on three classifications related to the overall scale score cut point between levels 2 and 3.

49. IAB Reporting  Individual student scores are available for each block.  Reporting for each block is based on three classifications related to the overall scale score cut point between levels 2 and 3: “Below Standard,” “At/Near Standard,” and “Above Standard.”

52. Preparing for New Test Scores  Smarter Balanced assessments measure the full range of the Common Core State Standards. They are designed to let teachers and parents know whether students are on track to be college- and career-ready by the time they graduate.  Because the new standards set higher expectations for students--and the new tests are designed to assess student performance against these higher expectations--our definition of grade level performance is higher than it used to be.  As a result, it’s likely that fewer students will meet grade level standards, especially for the first few years. Results should improve as students have additional years of instruction aligned to the new standards and become better equipped to meet the challenges they present.  This does not mean that our students are “doing worse” than they did last year. Rather, the scores represent a “new baseline” that provides a more accurate indicator for educators, students, and parents as they work to meet the rigorous demands of college and career readiness.
