  10. Oregon Work Samples A work sample is a representative sample of individual student work (e.g., research paper, statistical experiment, speaking presentation) that is scored using an official state scoring guide. Work Sample Tasks must: align with the state content standards for the skill area being assessed. clearly provide students with opportunities to demonstrate proficiency in the content standards being assessed in the work sample. (For those work samples being used to satisfy Essential Skills graduation requirements, prompts must provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate high school level knowledge and skills.) reflect independent, individual student work only, although individual work samples may grow out of common learning experiences or group work. Whether used as a local performance assessment or to meet an Essential Skills requirement, work samples are not meant to be timed. (Test Administration Manual , 2011-2012 , Office of Assessment and Information Services, Oregon Department of Education, Appendix M – Work Samples and State Scoring Guides) www.ode.state.or.us/go/assessment

  11. Math Performance Task Preview Sample Oregon Work Sample Task Grade 5: Olga’s Strawberries *Three samples of scored student work with commentaries are in the session packet. www.ode.state.or.us/go/commoncore

  12. Oregon PS Scoring Guide Five Process Dimensions: • Making Sense of the Task • Representing and Solving the Task • Communicating Reasoning • Accuracy • Reflecting and Evaluating • Must score at least 4 on all five dimensions www.ode.state.or.us/go/assessment

  13. Student Work-Olga’s Strawberries www.ode.state.or.us/go/assessment

  14. Oregon Reading Work Sample Honeybees (Approximately 50-90 minutes) • Part 1: Read 1 article: “Are Americans Destined for a Diet of Bread and Water?” (http://www.ode.state.or.us/wma/teachlearn/testing/scoring/guides/2009-10/rd-perfasmtinform_american-diet-honeybee.pdf ) • Option to include margin notes, which can factor into scoring • Part 2: Respond to 6 constructed response questions • Two questions per dimension of reading scoring guide • Combination of graphic and prose responses www.ode.state.or.us/go/assessment

  15. ELA Performance Task Preview ELA Performance Task Preview Sample Oregon Reading Performance Task • Literary Work Sample: TheCall of the Wild • Read an excerpt from Jack London’s The Call of the Wild (approximately 15 minutes) • Answer questions relating to the excerpted section (30 to 60 minutes) • Scored components: • Seven constructed response items (each question relates to one of three traits on a 6-point rubric); three graphic organizers • Scored in three traits (General Understanding, Develop an Interpretation, Text Analysis) • Sample may be re-submitted after student revision www.ode.state.or.us/go/assessment

  16. Oregon Reading Scoring Guide Three Traits (6-point scale, 4 levels of criteria) Demonstrate Understanding — “Getting the gist” Develop an Interpretation — “Reading between the lines” Analyzing Text — “Looking at the author’s craft” Must average a 4 across the three traits (12 composite score), no score lower than a 3 www.ode.state.or.us/go/assessment

  17. Oregon Writing Scoring Guide Six Analytic Traits (6-point scale) • Ideas and Content • Organization • Sentence Fluency • Conventions • Voice (Optional scoring) • Word Choice (Optional scoring) Must score at least a 4 in the required traits www.ode.state.or.us/go/assessment

  18. Performance Tasks Performance Tasks • Extended projects demonstrate real-world writing and analytical skills • May include online research, group projects, presentations • Require 1-2 class periods to complete • Included in both interim and summative assessments • Applicable in all grades being assessed • Evaluated by teachers using consistent scoring rubrics The use of performance measures has been found to increase the intellectual challenge in classrooms and to support higher-quality teaching. - Linda Darling-Hammond and Frank Adamson, Stanford University

  19. Sample Task Stimulus Stimulus/Information Source for Task Massachusetts (http://www.sudbury.ma.us/services/individual_faq.asp?id=69) The initial 10MPH over the speed limit is assessed a $50 fine. In other words, there is a flat fee for the first 10MPH. Each MPH above the initial 10MPH is then calculated at $10 per MPH thereafter. In addition to the fines established relative to the speed traveled, there is a $50 assessment applied to the fine schedule which goes to a Head Injury Fund established by the state. Example: 46MPH in a 30MPH zone = 16MPH over the speed limitFine = $50 Head Injury Fund assessment + $50 (first 10MPH over the speed limit) + $60 (next 6MPH) = $160

  20. Sample Task Stimulus (cont.)

  21. Sample Task Components to Elicit Evidence of Student Understanding Scorable products that could result from task stimuli: Students create a table to show how different speeds result in different ticket values for MA. Students create a graph to show the speed vs. total ticket cost for MA Students explain why the NY speeding penalties cannot be represented by a function Students write one or more functions for the cost of a speeding ticket in a 60 mph zone in MA, based on the driver’s actual speed. Students respond to a task in writing, such as: Some people have complained that New York’s calculations are unfair. Create a more fair system for New York that (1) represents a one-to-one function and (2) would allow New York to collect about the same amount of money as it currently does. Explain all assumptions you make and mathematics used to support your work.

  22. Sample Item The function f(x) = 5(x – 65) + 120 is used to calculate a speeding ticket for a driver going x mph in a 65 mph speed zone. If the “5” in the function is changed to “4” and the “120” is changed to “180,” for what values of x would ticket costs be greater than before the change?

  23. Sample Item The function f(x) = 5(x – 65) + 120 is used to calculate a speeding ticket for a driver going x mph in a 65 mph speed zone. Is the set of all positive integers a reasonable domain for this function in the context of the problem? Explain why or why not and provide specific examples to support your reasoning.

  24. Sample Item The graph shows the relationship between the number of miles over the speed limit a person is traveling and the cost of a speeding ticket. Explain how the graph supports or refutes the statement below: “As driving speeds become more reckless, the penalties are more severe.”

  25. Math Performance Task Preview Sample Smarter Math Performance Task Grade 5: School Festival You serve on a committee that is in charge of planning a school festival. The following tasks need to be completed by committee members as part of the planning for the school festival. • Determine the budget for the festival. • Choose the food and drinks for the festival. • Determine amounts of supplies for making a dessert. • Make a schedule of the different activities. • Make some decisions on the games and prizes used during the festival. * Details and rubrics are in the session packet.

  31. Questions to Ponder….. • How could you use your development of Oregon Work Sample (or Local Performance) Tasks to prepare students for success on Smarter Balanced Performance Tasks • What could be done with current tasks to bring them up to the level of rigor in the Smarter Balanced Assessment? • Possible extension of Olga’s Strawberries – Summer Strawberry Picking • Multiple approaches • Multiple solutions • Justify solution based on interpretation www.ode.state.or.us/go/assessment

  32. Sample Olga Enhancement Summer Strawberry Picking You have been hired to pick strawberries at the farm with Olga and Fritz this summer. You will pick berries with them 5 days a week, for a total of 8 weeks. The farm offers two different pay options and you must choose only one of them: Option A $8.00 per day Option B $1.50 per flat picked Olga has decided to pick Option A, based on her experience from last summer. Fritz has decided to pick Option B, because he thinks that he can pick more flats of berries each day than Olga can. How many flats on average a day must Fritz pick, in order to earn more money than Olga each day? Based on Fritz’s average from Question #1, who will make more money over the summer, Olga or Fritz? Justify mathematically your answer. Which option do you decide to pick? ______________ Justify mathematically your choice, show why your option will earn you the most money over the summer. www.ode.state.or.us/go/assessment
