Inspect® Interim Formative Assessments
• IFA: Inspect® Interim Formative Assessments
–Formerly called benchmarks
–District assessments given to all students after standards should have been taught
– In practice: Use KDS IFAs and modify to match your own pacing.
11

Base Standard Schedules
• Instructional Guides
• Meant to act as a base, intended to be modified to fit your pacing
12
yourinspect.com
How Should Inspect® IFAs be Used?
• Take what KDS has developed and customize to meet your district needs– Grade level collaborative teams and/or teacher
leaders determine standards to be taught in each term.
– Once standards schedules are established, grade level collaborative teams adjust assessment items as necessary
• Makes process of creating district assessments faster

Inspect® Pre-Built Assessments
• Grades 3-8 and High School (ELA and math)
• Three Sets
• Intended to be scaffolded in with instruction
16

Inspect® Performance Tasks
• Students demonstrate mastery of multiple academic standards through a single task and they also learn to apply classroom knowledge to solve real-world problems.
• Follow specific high-stakes formats:– Number of stimuli
• Qualitative and quantitative measures of text complexity• Word count
– Number and type of questions– Rigor
• DOK levels
– Rubrics
17
yourinspect.com
ELA Performance Tasks: consist of two components:
• In the first part, students read a series of texts and respond to three research questions– After a student completes the first part, he or she
can return to the first part, but cannot change any responses.
• In the second part, students respond to the central question of the PT in an essay in one of three formats: informational/explanatory, narrative, or argumentative/opinion.
18
yourinspect.com
ELA: How are they scored?
• All ELA PTs include a criteria to the student for how the essay will be scored and rubricsfor both the written prompt and the constructed response items from part 1
19
yourinspect.com
PT Writing Rubrics
• Essay will be scored on three categories:
– Organization/Purpose
– Development/Elaboration
– Conventions
20

Math Performance Tasks
• Students are given a real-world scenario
• Answer mathematical questions in relation to the real-world scenario–Key: can students do math, when they
are not told what math to do?
• Questions and parts progressively build to a solution
23
yourinspect.com
Math: How are they scored?
• All math PTs include rubrics for constructed response questions or parts.
• In some cases, certain parts are dependent upon others in terms of scoring. (i.e., cannot get credit for part B if part A is not correct.)

Early Literacy and Early Numeracy Assessments
• Assessment tools specifically designed for primary grades
• Focus on foundational skills for later success
• Provide data about acquisition of key skills as well as growth over time to inform effective instruction and intervention
30
yourinspect.com
Early Literacy and Numeracy Assessments
• Most early childhood assessments
– Do not align to rigorous college and career ready standards (CCRS)
– Require 1:1 administration
• Inspect® has developed assessments that:
– Target the research-based foundational skills for later academic success
– Align to rigorous college and career ready standards
– Can be completed independently by students
31
yourinspect.com
Foundational Skills
• Important skill areas that develop during early childhood
• Critical in and of themselves in terms of later school success
• Necessary building blocks for knowledge in other areas (e.g., Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998)
• Appear to be related to one another– Children with delays in literacy skill development
are often delayed in early numeracy skills acquisition (Krajewski & Schneider, 2009).
32
yourinspect.com
Early Literacy Assessments
• To support K-2 children in acquiring and mastering the foundational skills, Inspect®
created assessments that focus on early literacy skills in developmental progression that is aligned to CCRS Foundational Skills.

Early Numeracy Skills
• Research suggests that particular attention should be paid to the development of early numeracy skills.– critical to later school success
• Meta-analysis (Duncan et al., 2007) suggests early numeracy skills in kindergarten is a stronger predictor of later achievement.– stronger than reading, attentional skills, or
social behavior
38

Early Numeracy Skills
39
• Biggest predictors
– Number sense skills (ordinality and cardinality in particular)
– Operations skills
• Early mathematics skills were found to be as predictive of later reading achievement, as were early reading skills

Early Numeracy Skills
40
• Early geometry and spatial skills and patterns and measurement skills were not as highly predictive of later achievement.
