  1. Chris WnoroskiTerryl Swejk Linking Ohio’s Academic Content Standards – Extended and the new Alternate Assessment

  2. An Extension of Ohio’s Revised Academic Content Standards accessible to students with significant cognitive disabilities. • Extensions may reduce the Revised Academic Content Standards in breadth and depth to apply to those students taking an alternate assessment. What Are Extended Standards?

  3. Grade band Domain Central ideas written to capture overall meaning of the standards and cluster statements within the grade-band domain Three levels of complexity written for standards/clusters Use table of contents to code: KCC= Kindergarten, Counting and Cardinality Math Extensions Extensions

  4. Modules available on the OCALI website. Foundational topics include: • What are Extended Academic Content Standards? • General Curriculum for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities • Planning for Instruction and Assessment for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities Modules:http://www.ohextendedstandards.org/ ODE Website: http://education.ohio.gov/GD/Templates/Pages/ODE/ODEDetail.aspx?page=3&TopicRelationID=967&ContentID=119791&Content=131088 OACS-E Instruction Support

  5. SST-9 OACS-E Trainings

  6. Why is OASC-E Important for AASCD?

  7. Alternate assessments are designed for the small number of students who are unable to participate in regular grade-level state assessments even with appropriate accommodations. (IDEA 1997) Alternate Assessments

  8. Alternate Assessments Must be aligned to Ohio’s content standards. Must yield results in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. It must be designed and implemented in a manner that supports use of results as an indicator for AYP. Can measure progress based on alternate achievement standards ESEA (NCLB).

  9. AASCD Assignment by Grade

  10. The assessment is new, but the participation guidelines have not changed. • The same students for whom the old assessment would be appropriate are the students for whom the new assessment is appropriate. • Decision-making framework for participation is located in: AASCD Directions for Administration Manual, Spring 2013. Participation Criteria

  11. Key Differences

  12. Key Differences (cont.)

  13. With the AASWD, +/ 98% of students scored proficient or above. 95% of those scored accelerated and advanced. This produced no usable measure of student performance nor growth. • The new AASCD will have a distribution of scores comparable to the general assessments and will be able to show student growth. Considerations

  14. February 25th - March 29th 2013 • Many districts have Spring Break the week of March 25, 2013 Test Administration Window

  15. The AASCD is administered in a one-on-one setting, with Test Administrators reading a script to administer tasks. • The administration of AASCD per student is approximately 4 hours. Breaks are permitted based on student need and circumstances. • Pictures, graphics and symbols are provided for nearly all of the tasks. • The Test Administrator uses a rubric to score the student’s performance. How Is the AASCD Administered?

  16. Set Up Scoring Script Administering the Test Scoring

  17. The AASCD is administered and scored by the Test Administrator. • Fidelity of administration and scoring is monitored by using a second rater to verify, through a sampling of administrations, that all procedures were followed. • A sampling of teachers and students will participate. Scoring Fidelity

  18. Any staff who administers the AASCD must attend training • Only district staff with ODE certification, licensure or permit are permitted to administer the test • Including 2nd rater • Mozilla Firefox is the only search engine with the ability to access the testing system • Test materials received by districts must be considered secure just as OAA and OGT materials are • Teachers need to be familiar with Extended Standards and begin using these standards at the beginning of the school year • Teachers can use test format during instruction ImportantInformation
