The Assessment Challenge

How do we get from here... ...to here?

All students

leave high school

college and

career ready

Common Core

State Standards

specify K-12

expectations for

college and

career readiness

...and what can an

assessment system

do to help?

Summative Assessments Today • Each state bears the burden of test development;

no economies of scale Each state procures its own

assessment system

• Students often leave high school unprepared to succeed in entry-level college courses

Measure proficiency against state standards, not agreed-

upon standards

• Poor measures of demonstration of skills and complex cognitive performance

Usually heavy reliance on multiple choice questions

• Tests cannot be used to inform instruction or affect program decisions

Results often delivered months after tests are given

• Difficult to interpret meaning of scores; concerns about access and fairness

Accommodations for special education and ELL students vary

• Costly, time consuming, and challenging to maintain security

Most administered on paper

– NC FALCON

• Interim

– Benchmark assessments (State or SBAC in 2014)

Prioritization of Content Standards

• Two-Step Process

– Step 1:Teachers convened to provide input

• Relative importance of each standard

• Anticipated instructional time

• Appropriateness for multiple-choice format

– Step 2: Curriculum and Test Development staff at DPI review input and develop weight distributions across the domains for each grade level

Item Types

• Online – Technology Enhanced Items

• Both Online and Paper/Pencil – Mathematics: gridded response items

• Grades 5-8 and Algebra I/Integrated I

– Calculator Inactive: Grades 3-8 and Algebra II/ Integrated I

– One-third to one-half of grades 3-8 – One-third of Algebra I

– English II: short constructed response – General: Four-response multiple-choice items – NCEXTEND2: Three-response multiple-choice items

The Four Key Components of SLI

A secure, multi-tenant data store

Aspiration: Real-time feedback about where students are in their learning journey and where they need to focus next

Set of application programming interfaces

Aspiration: “Apps stores” that will give teachers and students access to the latest tools and content to help them succeed

Metadata schema

Aspiration: Faster discovery of relevant, Common Core-aligned resources

Learning maps

Aspiration: Track and predict individual student and cohort progress
