  1. WESTEST 2 SCHOOL REPORTS

  2. WESTEST 2 SCHOOL REPORTS • WESTEST 2 school reports are used to make programmatic level decisions • School administrators are encouraged to use other data and information to make programmatic decisions -- not just WESTEST 2 reports • Acuity Benchmark reports support programmatic decision making as well as determine areas of weakness by content and objective on a quarterly basis during the year • Writing Roadmap 2 assists teachers in determining areas of weakness in writing after each writing session

  3. Schedule of Delivery • WESTEST 2 schedule of delivery of reports are as follow: July 24, 2009 -- Phase I -- Electronic Reports sent to County Test Coordinator to retrieve on secure FTP site for immediate release to school principals - Confidential Summary Report (CSR) - Confidential Item Analysis Summary (CIAS) - Confidential Roster Report August 6, 2009 -- Phase II -- paper reports sent to County Test Coordinator to immediate release to school principals - Student reports - Individual Right Response Record (IRRR) - Student labels

  4. Delivery Model • It is recommended that School Leadership Teams and Grade Level/Content Collaborative Teams review and act on summative assessment results. • WESTEST 2 reports are confidential data because the reports include all students tested in the school • All teachers can view, study and use grade-level data • Researchers have consistently found that it is more effective to use systematic methods of data delivery/review with teachers and to develop systematic methods for using data in order to promote increased student achievement and learning (Berhnardt; 2009; Harrison & Bryan, 2008; Means, Padilla, DeBarger, & Bakia, 2009; Walser, 2009; Wohlstetter, Datnow, & Park, 2008; Weinstock, 2009).

  5. Critical Questions • What do we want students to learn? • How will we know if students have learned it? • What will we do if they don’t learn? • What will we do if they do learn?

  6. We want students to learn CSOs • WESTEST 2 measures each standard per content area, but not each objective • R/LA measures 71% of the objectives per grade level • Math measures 86% of the objectives per grade level • Science measures 78% of the objectives per grade level • Social Studies measures 80% of the objectives per grade level There are two forms with different objectives measured on each form. • Therefore, it is crucial to teach all of the CSOs - not just the tested information – in order for students to learn the needed skills and content for progression to the next grade level.

  7. How will we know if students have learned it? • One way schools, the educational community, and the public determine if students have learned the content is through statewide summative assessment data as well as national assessment data. • WVDE provides two school reports to the County Test Coordinator for release to school principals • Confidential Summary Report (CSR) • Confidential Item Analysis Summary (CIAS)

  8. What do you look for in this WESTEST 2 report? Confidential Summary Report (1) *Subgroup Performance: • Using Grade Level Mastery Data, review subgroup performance: • % of students At or Above Mastery by subgroup Which subgroup(s) in this grade level and for this content area need additional time and support? *Repeat for each tested grade level in the school

  9. What do you look for in this WESTEST 2 report? Confidential Summary Report (2) *Content Standard Performance • Review grade level mastery of the content standards: • % of students At or Above Mastery by standard Which standards require extra time and attention? *Repeat for each tested grade level in the school

  10. Reflection • Here’s What… • What do the data appear to be telling you? What patterns do you see? • So What?... • What are the possible reasons or explanations for the data? • Now What?... • How will your leadership team use these findings to establish school SMART Goals? • (StrategicMeasurableAttainableResultsorientedTime-bound)

  11. School SMART Goals • Directions: • Working in pairs, discuss the data from the CSR reports using the reflection questions as your guide. Develop SMART goals for “your” school. • (StrategicMeasurableAttainableResultsorientedTime-bound)

  13. What do you look for in this WESTEST 2 report? Confidential Item Analysis Summary (CIAS): Subgroup Performance on Content Standards (Grade level and/or content collaborative teams use this report to gather more specific data for each subgroup.) • For subgroups identified on the CSR as needing additional time and support, compare School and County Mean Percent Correct for each standard. • Identify the standards that fall below the County Mean Percent Correct as target areas for identified subgroup(s).

  14. How do you use the information ? • Confidential Item Analysis Summary (CIAS): Subgroup Performance on Content Standards (Grade level and/or content collaborative teams use this report to gather more specific data for each subgroup.) - Collaborative teams review the complete set of objectives for the identified standards - Plan their instructional cycle to include extra time and support for identified subgroup(s). West Virginia CSOs may be found on the *TEACH 21 site - Teams monitor progress toward school SMART Goals using periodic school-based and district-wide benchmark assessments. *Teach 21 http://wveis.k12.wv.us/Teach21/public/cso/cso.cfm

  15. Reflection • Here’s What… • What do the data appear to be telling you? What patterns have emerged among subgroups? • So What?... • What are the possible reasons or explanations for subgroup performance on a particular standard? • Now What?... • How will the collaborative teams use these and other data to establish grade level/content course SMART Goals? • (StrategicMeasurableAttainableResultsorientedTime-bound)

  16. Data Based Decisions Summative Assessment Data are used to make district level decisions Summative/Periodic Benchmark Data are used to make school level decisions Team SMART Goals Impact What Happens in an Individual Teacher’s Classroom Benchmark/Common Assessment Data are used to make team level decisions

  17. Where do we go next? • Leadership Team uses summative data to set school-level goals by content area • Bring School SMART goals to collaborative teams in September of each year for implementation • Build into strategic plan • Collaborative Teams use data to establish grade level/content SMART goals to align with School SMART goals • Monitor progress toward goals using current assessment data and adjust focus as students progress • Avoid “drill and kill” for the next year on the weaknesses targeted on WESTEST 2 results – use all data sets available to you throughout the year to improve instruction.
