Calculating W-APT Scores August 3rd , 2010 Hall County Schools
New DOE Requirement for Scoring W-APT • The changes in the scoring include adjusting the CPL score for the lower grade/s within a given grade level cluster. • DOE has notified us to employ the new scoring method starting 2010-11.
New Tool for Scoring W-APT • We have adapted the state scoring sheet to prevent “hand calculate” of any adjusted CPL. • Dr. Perry e-mailed adapted scoring sheets. • The adjusted CPL can be computed with an online calculator at http://www.wida.us/assessment/w-apt/WAPT_Test.aspx.
Why is adjustment necessary? • Students in the upper grades of each grade level cluster: 2nd graders in the 1-2 cluster, or 5th graders in the 3-5 cluster, and so on have potentially been exposed to more academic content topics. • Therefore, they may be at a slight advantage over students in earlier grade levels within a cluster.
Scoring Adjustments • Mathematical adjustments are made to the scores of lower grade level students within the cluster. • For example, in the 3-5 Cluster, students in grades 3 and 4 will get the adjustment, but students in 5th will not get the adjustment. • Please note that CPLs for Grades 2, 5, 8 and 12 test-takers do not need adjustment.
