  1. NECAP Mathematics and Reading Data Workshop Office of Instruction, Assessment and Curriculum Rhode Island Department of Education

  2. Types of Assessment NECAP • Formative Assessments • the processes used by teachers and students during instruction that provide feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students’ achievement of intended instructional outcomes; • Interim Assessments • the assessments that fall between formative and summative assessment and are used to evaluate students’ knowledge and skills relative to a specific set of academic goals • Summative Assessments • assessments generally given at the end of some unit of time such as the semester or school year to evaluate students’ performance against a defined set of content standards(Achieve/Aspen Center for Achievement) BEP 2009

  3. Some Prep Before We Begin • Materials needed: • Principal username and password • Legend for the Item Analysis Report- Reading or Math • ATLAS protocol worksheets • Describing • Interpreting • Action Steps • Laptop- one per group

  4. FERPA: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act • Access to individual student results is restricted to: • the student • the student’s parents/guardians • authorized school personnel • Authorized school personnel shall have access to the records of students to whom they are providing services when such access is required in the performance of their official duties. • FERPA website: http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html

  5. Measured Progress Web tool Introduction • New web-based data reporting tool • Levels of access for district administration, principals, and teachers • Found at: http://iservices.measuredprogress.org

  6. Measured Progress Web tool Introduction • IT IS: • Space to create custom reports • New access for teachers and principals • Unique tool to aid school level data analysis work • IT IS NOT: • Data mining software • Updated in real-time • The only tool that should be used to look at data in schools • The only student level tool to be used for conclusions or decisions about programming

  7. Types of Reports • Static/traditional • District data slice (in excel) • District /School level reports (MP generated) • Interactive • Can be filtered or sorted • Includes: • Item analysis reports • Achievement level summary • Released items summary data • Longitudinal data

  8. Any questions before we begin??? Let’s look at some data!

  9. From National School Reform Faculty (http://schoolreforminitiative.org) Purpose: to brainstorm around data in order to create action steps Four Major Steps: 1) Describing 2) Interpreting 3) Implications 4) Reflecting ATLAS PROTOCOL

  10. Norms for Protocol Add any? Take any away? Can we agree? Be as objective as possible- use data to support statements Remember this is sensitive information. Respect talk time. Dig as deep as you can!

  11. Describing- Math Data

  12. Describing- Reading Data

  13. Logging In • Go to: http:// iservices.measuredprogress.org • Select : New England Common Assessment Program • Select: NECAP reporting • Select: Rhode Island (state icon) • Enter : username and password (case sensitive)

  14. Describing the Data:Group Selection First, choose group you will be working with: • Select Year- 2009-10 (should be prefilled) • Select Administration- (Fall 2009) • Check District- (prefilled) • Check School – (prefilled) • Select Test - (choose the test your group will study) • Scroll down to Filter By Group- choose testing • If you were to look at class information or other user created groups, they would appear in this drop down menu.

  15. Describing the Data: Choosing Parameters for Study Let’s all select the same parameters to begin with: • Maximize Advanced Filtering • Advanced Filtering Options: Male • IEP, Ethnicity, SES and LEP should all be set to: All Students • If you need to refresh your population, be sure to Submit the new information • Export in PDF format • Fill in the information on males in each section of the chart • Set new Advanced Filtering Options, Submit, Export in PDF format, Record information • Repeat as needed

  16. Describing the Data What do you see? Just the facts! Together with your group: Make sure to not make judgments or draw conclusions. Use your worksheet to guide your research.

  17. Describing the Data: Released Items Summary Data (for CR Analysis) • Select Interactive tab • Select Released Items Summary Data from drop-down • Check year, district and school information for accuracy • Select Test that you are working on • Select Testing from Filter by Group

  18. Interpreting the Data Questions we will ask: • Is this addressed in our curriculum? • Is this an item type issue? • Is this a depth of knowledge (DOK) problem? • Is this a teaching issue? • Content knowledge • Misconceptions • Do we need to do more research? Make sure to also take a step back from the chart… Are there patterns? Themes? Interesting observations?

  19. Interpreting the Data

  20. Implications and Action Steps What steps should be taken? What support is needed? How will we know success? Together with your group: Record this on your worksheet.

  21. Action Steps:

  22. Reflecting With your group: • What did you learn from your colleagues that was interesting or surprising? • What new perspectives did your colleagues provide? • How will you pursue these questions further?

  23. Any last questions?
