  2. Participation and Supported Independence (P/SI) MI-Access

  3. P/SI Student Populations Content Areas Assessment Booklets Item Format Scoring Rubrics

  4. Participation Students who have, or function as if they have, severe cognitive impairment

  5. Participation Expected to require extensive ongoing support in adulthood and may have significant cognitive and/or physical impairments that limit their ability to generalize or transfer learning Dependent on others for most, if not all, daily living needs

  6. Participation The instructional approach for these students targets opportunities for them to integrate into age-appropriate tasks, activities related to daily living skills, and academic content

  7. Supported Independence Students who have, or function as if they have, moderate cognitive impairment

  8. Supported Independence Will require ongoing support in major life roles and may have cognitive and/or physical impairments that limit their ability to generalize or transfer learning

  9. Supported Independence Instructional approach is direct, in context, and targeted toward specific, essential independent living and academic skills

  10. Supported Independence Working toward mastering daily living and employment routines and an acceptable level of independent living

  11. P/SI Content Areas Assessed • English Language Arts • Mathematics • Science • MI-Access is based on • Extended Grade Level Content Expectations (EGLCE) • Extended Benchmarks (EB) • Extended High School Content Expectations (EHSCE) • Grades 3-8 and 11

  12. P/SI Assessment Booklets • Combined booklets for ELA and mathematics for both Participation and Supported Independence • Color coordinated

  13. Participation • ELA and • Mathematics = Blue

  14. Participation • Science = Pink

  15. Supported Independence • ELA and • Mathematics = Green

  16. Supported Independence • Science = Red

  17. Item Development All items • aligned to EGLCE/EB/EHSCE • coded to adult life contexts

  18. Item Development • Core items count toward the student’s score • Embedded items are for field testing ONLY

  19. Item Types and Formats Selected Response/Multiple Choice items • SI: 3 choices-graphics • P: 2 choices-graphics

  20. Item Types and Formats Observation/Activity • Many items use an activity-based observation format • Paper and pencil tests are not appropriate

  21. Selected-response • ELA, mathematics, and science have selected-response items • ALL selected-response items administered the same way

  22. Selected-response Selected-response picture cards will be provided by the MI-Access contractor for use during the assessment

  23. Selected-response ONE set of picture cards will be shipped to each TEACHER based on: • content area (P/SI ELA and Mathematics OR P/SI Science) • grades being assessed

  24. Picture Cards Picture cards are presented in very specific ways • Read manual sections on the different presentation styles • Watch presentation styles in online learning program

  25. Selected-response Two reasons for picture cards: • Not practical for students to look at pictures in an assessment booklet. • Selected-response items have to be presented twice – each time in a different order.

  26. Sample SI Item Which of these shows a pulley being used? A hammer and nail B raising a flag C wheelchair on ramp

  27. Picture Cards The assessment administrator will be provided with 8½ X 11 pictures of a hammer and nail, raising a flag, and a wheelchair on ramp.

  28. Sample Participation Item Which one can go faster? A B

  29. Picture Cards The assessment administrator will be provided with 8½ X 11 pictures of a car and a bicycle.

  30. Picture Cards

  31. MI-Access Artwork Artwork is available at the MI-Access Webpage for review and instructional use

  32. Activity-Based Observation Assessment administrators need to use whatever they typically use during instruction in the format most familiar to the student

  33. Activity-Based Observation Assessment administrators will provide THEIR OWN picture cards IF they are typically used during the activity or routine where the item is being administered

  34. Sample Participation Item • Activity: The student will respond appropriately to a greeting from an unfamiliar person, such as a teacher, support staff, or related service provider, during arrival or dismissal time. • Scoring Focus: Responding to and/or communicating with a variety of audiences

  35. Online Learning MI-Access P/SI Scoring Rubrics Online Learning Program is available on the Webpage at www.mi.gov/mi-access

  36. Online Learning It has self-directed modules to lead you through the assessment administration.

  37. Online Learning Modules are in video format allowing viewer to watch the role of Primary and Shadow assessment administrators.
