1 The DLM Assessment System: Planning for Implementation November 13 & 14, 2014
2 Today s Topics 1. Overview of the DLM system and year end testing model from the teacher s perspective 3. District support for implementation 4. Other topics as requested
3 OVERVIEW OF ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
4 A Portion of the Math Map
5 Learning Map Claims Conceptual Areas Essential Elements (and other nodes)
6 DLM Essential Elements Are the target for the grade level Reduced depth, breadth, complexity Provide appropriate level of rigor and challenge Focus on the skills (with multiple means of demonstration) Are not functional or pre-k skills or instructional descriptions
7 Example for English Language Arts Common Core State Standard RL.6.2 Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments. Essential Element EE.RL.6.2 Determine the theme or central idea of a familiar story and identify details that relate to it.
8 Identify two related points the author makes in an informational text
9 Testlets in Linkage Levels Connect the map Initial Precursor Behavior to the items developed. Testlet IP Distal Precursor Proximal Precursor Behavior Behavior Testlet DP Testlet PP Target Successors Behavior Behavior Testlet T Testlet S
10 Fractions M.EE.3.NF1-3 Differentiate a fractional part from a whole 10
11
12 Assessment Design Testlets Usually assess 1 EE / linkage level 3-5 items Engagement activity ELA: Text or writing task Math: Context at beginning, carried throughout Teacher-administered or computeradministered (MC, sorting, matching)
13 Special user interface designed for DLM Customized presentation through Personal Needs & Preferences (PNP) profile
14 Sample Testlets ELA: RI 5.8: Identify the relationship between a specific point and supporting reasons in an informational text Target Level Node: Same as EE Math: 7.NS.2.a: Solve multiplication problems with products to 100 Initial Precursor Level Nodes: Recognize set, recognize separateness
15 Two Levels of Writing Assessments Conventional Writing Using orthography to communicate Selecting topics Generating and communicating facts, ideas and details in writing Emergent Writing Behaviors that precede conventional writing Communication about choices and information Cognitive processes that are precursors to conventional writing
16 Example Task/Rating in an Emergent Writing Testlet Screen 1 SAY: What do you want to write about? Choose one. WAIT AND OBSERVE: Give the student time to choose one of the objects.
17 Example Task/Rating in an Emergent Writing Testlet Screen 2 Choose the highest level that describes your observation. Makes a choice between objects. Attends to objects but does not make a choice. Seeks objects but does not make a choice. Attends to other stimuli. No response.
18 Example Task/Rating in an Conventional Writing Testlet Screen 1 SAY: What other facts, ideas or details can you write about [topic]? WAIT: Give the student time if needed to think about additional facts, details or other information about the topic. SAY: Write about them. WAIT AND OBSERVE: Give the student time to write facts, details or information about the topic.
19 Example Task/Rating in an Conventional Writing Testlet Screen 2 Choose the highest level that describes your observation. Independently wrote 3 or more facts, ideas or details related to the topic Independently wrote at least 2 facts, ideas or details related to the topic Wrote one fact related to the topic Wrote multiple facts, ideas or details unrelated to the topic. Wrote a single fact, idea or detail unrelated to the topic.
20 ACCESSIBILITY
21 Accessibility Accessible Content Personal Learning Profile Technology
22 Accessible Content Testlet levels Vocabulary Multiple and alternate pathways Special item writing guidelines Careful attention to unnecessary complexity
23 Personal Learning Profile Personal Needs and Preferences (PNP) Display Language & Braille Audio & Environment First Contact Communication Academics Sensory characteristics Motor characteristics Computer access
24 Technology Special user interface designed for DLM Dynamic routing
25 Accessibility Manual 1. Include Eligible Students in the DLM Assessment 2. Learn About the DLM Accessibility Features: What Does DLM Provide? 3. Discuss and Select Appropriate Supports and Tools: Considerations for IEP Teams 4. Enter Appropriate Supports into the DLM System 5. Prepare for the Assessment: Using the Chosen Accessibility Features 6. Evaluate the Accessibility Features Used After the Assessment
26 1. Supports activated by PNP A. Magnification B. Invert Color Choice C. Color Contrast D. Color Overlay E. Read Aloud with highlighting Text to Speech text only text & graphics graphics only nonvisual
27 2. Supports Requiring Additional Materials/Tools F. Uncontracted Braille G. Single-switch system/pnp enabled H. Two switch system I. Administration via ipad J. Adaptive equipment used by student K. Individualized Manipulatives
28 3. Supports Provided Outside the System L. Human Read Aloud M. Sign interpretation of text N. Language translation of text O. Test administrator enter responses for student P. Partner Assisted Scanning
29 Personal Needs & Preferences (PNP) Profile Display Enhancements Language & Braille Audio & Environment Other Supports
30 Students with Blindness/Visual Alternate forms Impairments Content would normally be represented on computer but translated into teacheradministered testlet Braille Alternate pathways
31 Braille Very small number of DLM students use Braille Forms will be available: Beginning spring 2015 operational window Only in upper linkage levels Delivery method still under evaluation by state partners
32 Hardware/Software No software costs (KITE is free) PNP features built in Use devices already available (interactive whiteboard, 1-switch or 2-switch systems, headphones, etc.) Option for test administrator to enter responses if there is a gap
33 HOW THE YEAR END MODEL WORKS
34 Year End Assessment Model Optional Instructionally- Embedded Optional Instructionally Embedded Testlets can be delivered for select Essential Elements System recommends linkage level; teacher can accept or override Student performance does not contribute for summative purposes Required Spring Testing Testlets cover the whole blueprint Dynamic routing supports adaptivity between testlets (system determines linkage levels) Scores are used for summative purposes
35 Content of the Assessment Grades 3-8 and high school English Language Arts (ELA) Mathematics Blueprints: Consortium approved a subset of Essential Elements Consortium set minimum requirements for breadth of coverage
36 Test Delivery Optional Instructionally Embedded One testlet per EE chosen in ITI Teacher chooses linkage level Each testlet assigned separately Test administrator schedules sessions within testing windows Spring (End of Year) 4-7 testlets per subject depending on grade Entire blueprint covered System chooses linkage levels Each testlet assigned separately Test administrator schedules sessions within window
37 Testlet Delivery System has testlets available at all 5 linkage levels for every part of the test Part 1 IP Part 2 IP Part 3 IP Part 4 IP Students take one testlet from one level for each group DP PP DP PP DP PP DP PP System determines which level to deliver to the student T S T S T S T S
