  19. Let’s complete a “quick” analysis of the test design Genres Tested: ______________________________________________________ We will complete these sections at the end. 

  20. Please Go to the First Question in Your Packet Unpacking the Reading STAAR Released Items Eligible Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Questions from Texas Education Agency Student Assessment Division Fall 2010

  21. In order for a student to be able to master the first question, what does the student need to know? Think Around the Question

  22. 6th Grade Example

  23. Let’s Look At Vertical Alignment of the Tested SE… 6th Grade Example Everyone has a chart that looks like this…

  24. In order for a 6th grade student to be able to master this question, what do our teachers promise to teach? Let’s Look at Vertical Alignment 6th Grade Example

  25. Now Let’s Look at the CSCOPE Indicators in Connection to the Tested SE—Looks Like This…

  26. CSCOPE Performance Indicators* 6th Grade Example *Note: The STAAR released test key only lists the SE with a 10, but CSCOPE does note specific SE’s –which is what is referenced on this chart.

  27. We Are Ready to Start Unpacking Each Question!  Unpacking the Reading STAAR Released Items Eligible Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Questions from Texas Education Agency Student Assessment Division Fall 2010

  28. Steps for Analysis of 2011 STAAR Released Items 1. Unpack the SEs by: • Circling the cognitive demands (verbs) • Underlining the content (concept) • Boxing the context 2. Read the Question 3. Solve the problem and determine the number of steps it took you to solve it. 4. Identify the academic vocabulary either implied or stated that is aligned to the SEs in the question. • Determine what part of the SE is being tested. • Determine how the question is being tested. (question stem) • Determine the level of thinking (DOK) that is required for the student to successfully work through the problem. • Determine what the students need to know in order to answer the question.
