4. Definition - “Formative Assessment is a deliberate process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides actionable feedback used to adjust ongoing teaching and learning strategies and improves students’ attainment of curricular learning targets/goals.” 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 4

8. The Formative Assessment Process Clarify Intended Learning Elicit Evidence Act on Evidence Interpret Evidence Teacher, Peers, or Student Identify: Learning Goal vs. Success Criteria: Gap between the goal and criteria? Misunderstanding? Procedural error? Lack of skill(s)? Do I need to adjust instruction? 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 8

9. Planning for Instruction Formative Assessment is a deliberate process. Once educators and students have had a chance to interpret results of gathering evidence, what should happen next ? process Clarify Intended Learning Elicit Evidence Act on Evidence Interpret Evidence 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 9

10. Formative assessment involves multiple activities, not just the administration of a single test. One of those activities is the use of assessments to elicit evidence regarding students’ understanding of and mastery of a given standard or concept. Popham, Transformative Assessment, 2008 Not just a test! https://www.smarterbalancedlibrary.org/content/why-formative-assessment 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 10

11. Learning Progressions should clearly articulate the sub-goals of the ultimate learning goal. Learning Goals and Criteria for Success should be clearly identified and communicated to students. Students should be provided with descriptive evidence-based feedback that is linked to the intended instructional outcomes and criteria for success. Both self- and peer assessment are important for providing students an opportunity to think meta-cognitively about their learning. A classroom culture in which teachers and students are collaborative partners in learning should be established. Five Attributes of Formative Assessment More than just a grade! 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11

12. Dylan Wiliam Consistent use of these formative strategies can double the speed of student learning. from Embedded Formative Assessment http://www.nwea.org/blog/2012/dylan-wiliam-the-5-formative-assessment- strategies-to-improve-student-learning http://www.nwea.org/blog/2012/dylan-wiliam-the-5-formative-assessment- strategies-to-improve-student-learning 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 12

13. Formative Process Use the summative assessment results as a starting point for gathering further information on student performance using a variety of resources, including those from the Digital Library. For example, on the summative mathematics test: ◦A student who is in Level 2 and At/Near Standard in all three claims: Gather more information about which skills the student has a solid understanding, and build on those to strengthen areas of weakness. Could include using IABs. ◦A student who is Below Standard in Claim 1: Gather more information on the specific content skills described in the standards with which the student struggles. Could include using IABs. ◦A student who is At/Near or Above Standard in Claim 1, but Below Standard in the other claims: Gather more information on student’s ability to apply learning to unique situations, which may include their disposition toward math and their perseverance to solve problems and write about mathematical ideas. 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 13

14. Formative Process ◦A student who is At/Near or Above in Claim 1 and Claims 2&4, but Below Standard in Claim 3: Gather more information related to student’s content vocabulary and use of academic language. ◦A classroom that is At/Near or Above Standard in Claim 1, but Below Standard in the other claims: Evaluate the instructional opportunities to be sure opportunities beyond facts, algorithms, and teacher- directed procedures, including problem solving, productive struggle, mathematical discourse and writing, and opportunities to apply the mathematics to the real-world. 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 14

Practice test will be available in January 2016 Test administration window is February 2 – March 11, 2016. 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 57

58. TIDE Appeals and ARMS TIDE APPEALS In the standard administration of a test, the student takes the test in TDS and then submits it for scoring. The Appeals system within TIDE provides a method when the standard administration did not occur. The TIDE Appeals system allows staff to report when a testing situation has occurred that requires a student’s test to be Reset or Re-opened in order to continue testing. EXAMPLE - Expired—When a student did not test within the allotted amount of time the student cannot resume the test because the test opportunity expired. The TA would submit and appeal to Re-Open test. The appeal would need to be approved to allow the student another testing opportunity. - Reset—When a student has been logged out for one reason or another, the TA would submit an appeal to restart the test. 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 58

59. TIDE Appeals and ARMS ARMS The Assessment Reports Management System (ARMS) will be used in spring 2016 for districts to electronically submit all testing incidents. It also will be used to request Modified Testing Schedules, Medical Exemptions, Test Question Ambiguities, and Security Reports. The ARMS application is located within the OSPI EDS system. For fall 2015, the Testing Irregularity reporting will remain the same as spring 2015. ARMS is being enhanced for spring 2016 administrations. We are working to build the ability to export data into a spreadsheet type format. We are also looking into the ability to import data. A webinar will be provided to support the enhancement when the application is ready. 9/29/2015 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 59
