  1. RESPONDING TO NeSA DATA NAESP/NSASSP STATE CONFERENCE 2011 Valorie Foy Crete Public Schools Cindy Gray Elkhorn Public Schools ShureenSeery Louisville Public Schools

  2. OVERVIEW • NeSA Score Basics • Analyzing NeSA Results • Using Information to Improve

  3. NeSA BASICS

  4. INFORMED USE OF DATA • Multiple Measures/Indicators • Thoughtful Professional Discussion • Monitoring over Time

  5. Basic Test Scores • Raw Score Number Correct (Note that raw scores on NeSA won’t convert to the same scale score from year to year) • Percent Correct e.g., 80% on a final exam (Not used for NeSA)

  6. PERCENTILE RANKS FOR NeSA • (%ile) Percent of students in the peer group who performed lower than the student or group • Available on Individual Student Reports and the Student Data File from DRC • %ile Scores should not be averaged

  7. Converting Raw Scores to Scale Scores • A raw score is converted to a scale score by a statistical process called equating. • Equating adjusts for slight differences in difficulty between test editions, and ensures that an 11th grader’s score of, say, 90 on one edition of the NeSA-M reflects the same achievement as a score on 90 for 11th graders the next year • Equating also ensures that a student's score does not depend on how well others did on the same edition of the test.

  8. Choosing Scores to Report • Scale Score • Influenced by outlier scores • % Mastering • Lets you know % above cut, but students are weighted equally whether they have a perfect score or whether they barely mastered

  9. Monitoring Individual Student Performance

  10. ARE THEY READING ON GRADE LEVEL?

  11. Things to Clarify • Percent Correct • Typically refers to the percent of items that a student answered correctly - Not comparable across assessments • Percent at Mastery • Usually refers to the percent of students who met the mastery level performance on a criterion-referenced assessment. • Percentile Rank • Usually used with norm-referenced assessments - This score indicates relative performance in comparison with a norm group. For example a score of 69%ile indicates that the student scored better than 69% of the students in the norm group. - These scores cannot be used for calculations.
