  1. M & Ms MEAP-Access and MOPLS MAASE Summer Institute Aug. 2011

  2. Welcome and Introductions The presenters are: Erika Bolig – OSA Professional Development Coordinator Linda Howley – OSA Assessment Consultant for Students with Disabilities Joanne Winkelman – OSE-EIS Policy Coordinator

  3. M & m agenda MEAP-ACCESS • History • Test Design • Sample Items • Accommodations • Accountability • Student Selection and Eligibility MOPLS • Overview • Features • Updates to ASG MOPLS

  4. MEAS Continuum MEAP-Access helps to complete the assessment continuum • MEAP • MEAP with accommodations • MEAP-Access • MI-Access (FI, SI, and P)

  5. MEAS Continuum

  6. MEAP-Access basics Prior assessment choices for these students has been: • Regular assessment – MEAP and MEAP with accommodations • Alternate Assessment based on Alternate Achievement Standards – MI-Access

  7. MEAP-Access basics In some cases, neither of these options proved to be the best assessment of what these students know and can do.

  8. HOW DID WE GET HERE? MEAP-Access Pilot – Winter 2009 MEAP-Access Operational Test – Fall 2009 Not enough students participated in fall 2009 to conduct standard setting; low scores; items not modified “enough” Lots of new items written Item modification performed Cog labs conducted around the state MEAP-Access items embedded on MEAP and MI-Access Functional Independence – Fall 2010 MEAP-Access Operational Test Fall 2011

  9. How meap-Access differs from meap MEAP-Access: • Fewer items on the assessments • 3 answer choices per item vs. 4 • Segmented passages • Passage introductions

  10. HOW MEAP-ACCESS differs from mi-access MI-ACCESS: • Based on Extended Grade-level Content Expectations (EGLCEs) • Assessments for students who have, or function as if they have, mild, moderate, or severe cognitive impairment

  11. MEAP-ACCESS FALL 2011 • Grades 3 – 8 Reading • Grades 4 & 7 Writing • Grades 3 – 8 Mathematics *MEAP-Access will be administered during the MEAP assessment window. (October 11-28, 2011)

  12. MEAP-ACCESS sample booklet

  13. MEAP-ACCESS design Mathematicsgrades 3-8 • 45 multiple choice items (3 answer choices) • Two parts in one test booklet • Part 1 – 20 items, Part 2 – 25 items • Calculator use allowed on all items

  14. MEAP Design Mathematicsgrades 3-8 • Two parts in one test booklet Grade 3 – No calculator on any part • 61 mc items Grades 4-8 – No calculator on part 1 • 4 answer choices • 57 – 72 mc items

  15. Meap sample item

  16. MEAP-ACCESS sample item

  18. MEAP-ACCESS design Readinggrades 3-8 • 4 reading selections, each with 8 multiple choice (mc) items • 11 independent word study mc items • Two days, two test booklets • Day one – 3 parts • 2 reading selections with 8 mc items each • 11 independent word study mc items • Day two – 2 parts • 2 reading selections with 8 mc items each

  19. MEAP DESIGN Readinggrades 3-8 • 5 reading selections, each with 8 multiple choice (mc) items • 3 short answer CR items • 6 cross-text MC items

  20. MEAP-Access passage intro

  21. regular sample PASSAGE

  22. Meap-access sample passage

  23. Meap-access sample items

  24. MEAP-ACCESS sample booklet

  25. MEAP-ACCESS design Writing grades 4 and 7 • 3 writing prompts • 15 independent multiple choice items • Two days, two test booklets • Day one – 2 parts • 2 writing prompts • Day two – 2 parts • 1 writing prompt • 15 independent mc items

  26. MEAP DESIGN Writing grades 4 and 7 • 4 writing prompts • 26 multiple choice items

  27. Meap sample writing prompt Write about: Trying Something New Life offers many opportunities to try new things. Sometimes people are afraid to try something new. Do only one of the following: • write a story about a time when you tried something new OR • write a story about a time someone you know tried something new OR • write a story in your own way about trying something new.

  28. Meap-access sample Writing prompt Write about: Trying Something New Life offers many opportunities or chances to try new things. Sometimes people are afraid to try something new. Do only one of the following: • write a story about a time when you tried something new OR • write a story about a time someone you know tried something new

  29. MEAP-ACCESS design Writing grades 4 and 7 • Will use same writing rubric as MEAP • Separate rangefinding conducted with teachers across the state

  30. Meap-access basics Assessment options: IEP Team has the flexibility to have a student participate in • MEAP, • MEAP-Access or • MI-Access (FI only) for different content areas.

  31. Meap-access accommodations Refer to the Assessment Accommodation Summary Table: accommodations that are standard for MEAP, are also standard for MEAP-Access. Accommodated Formats: Braille, Enlarged Print, Audio CDs (math only), Reader scripts (math only). *Calculators allowed on both parts of MEAP-Access mathematics test. *Students may use the entire testing window (3 weeks) to complete the assessment (must finish one part in one sitting)

  32. Meap-access and accountability State Accreditation (school report cards) uses results from • MME • MEAP • MEAP-Access • MI-Access

  33. Meap-access and accountability • All students participating in MEAP-Access earning valid scores count towards 95% AYP participation requirement • May count up to 2% of students across the district who score at the Proficient level for AYP

  34. FUTURE OF MEAP-ACCESS POST ASSESSMENT DECISIONS • Did enough students test in order to conduct standard setting? (a big problem in fall 2009) (If not, perhaps Michigan does not need a 2% assessment) • What implications has Fall 2011 test have for future item modifications, and guidelines for participation? • Where do we set the cut scores in light of Michigan’s career and college-ready cut score change?

  35. FUTURE OF MEAP-ACCESS Common Core State Assessments – 2014-15 • Michigan part of Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortia (SBAC) • General Assessment will reach both higher level students and lower level students (MEAP-ACCESS)

  36. Benefits to schools/districts This is an opportunity to increase the number of proficient scores for some students with disabilities. This test will also assist teachers and parents with information that will help students progress toward grade-level achievement. MEAP-Access may also match more closely the instruction given and better reflect the students’ skills.

  37. MEAP-ACCESS eligibility criteria • Student must have current IEP; • IEP must include goals based on Michigan’s Grade Level Content Expectations (GLCEs) for the grade in which the student is enrolled;

  38. MEAP-ACCESS eligibility criteria • Student must have access to and instruction in grade-level content for the grade in which the student is enrolled; • IEP Team is reasonably certain student will not achieve grade-level standards at the same proficiency level as their peers, in the year covered by the IEP;

  39. MEAP-ACCESS eligibility criteria • Objective evidence demonstrates that the student’s disability has precluded the student from achieving grade-level standards at the same level of proficiency as their peers; • Student’s lack of progress must be determined using multiple objectives and valid measures of the student’s academic achievement over time.

  40. reminders • OSE-EIS will continue to monitor all state assessments and accommodations to ensure the integrity of assessment practices.
