8. College & Career Readiness “Tasks that have proved most vexing to automate are those that demand flexibility, judgment, and common sense — skills that we understand only tacitly — for example, developing a hypothesis or organizing a closet.” -David Autor, MIT economist Quote from Fareed Zakaria Washington Post article, March 26, 2015 Orange County Department of Education Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/why-stem-wont-make-us-successful/2015/03/26/5f4604f2-d2a5-11e4-ab77- 9646eea6a4c7_story.htmlhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/why-stem-wont-make-us-successful/2015/03/26/5f4604f2-d2a5-11e4-ab77- 9646eea6a4c7_story.html

19. Responding to Data What can we learn from the data? Create new data protocols Set specific target goals

20. Site Report Guiding Questions 1.Which is the strongest claim area? 1.Which is the the weakest claim area? 1.What instructional practices are we currently implementing that are positively impacting the learning in each claim? 1.What do you notice about the overall scores?

21. We Need to be Patient This year is a starting point. Teachers, parents, and schools should see these results as a baseline and focus on helping students make progress. It is only natural that the first year’s scores leave lots of room for improvement.

22. A Test Score is Just One Part of the Picture CAASPP scores are just one measure of a child’s performance; one way to gauge what a student knows. Pioneer uses multiple measures to determine placement and acceleration and remediation.

23. Smarter Balanced Summative Tests Overall Scores – Scale score – Achievement level Claim or Area Scores

25. Overall Scores Each student will receive an overall score for English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA) and mathematics, expressed as a number between 2000 and 3000. – Each student takes a different test due to the computer adaptive nature. – Scores are based on the number and difficulty of items students get right as well as those they get wrong.

26. Overall Scores Each overall score falls into one of four achievement levels: – Standard not met – Standard nearly met – Standard met – Standard exceeded – Let’s look at the handouts…

27. Achievement Level Descriptors Standard not met Standard nearly met Standard met Standard exceeded Needs substantial improvement for success in future coursework May require further development for success in future coursework Demonstrates progress towards mastery Demonstrates advanced progress towards mastery

29. Student Score Reports Grade Level Differences – Grades 3, 4, 6, and 7 include only Smarter Balanced ELA and Math – Grades 5 and 8 add CST Science – Grade 11 includes Early Assessment Program (EAP) Status
