    1. LAKE COUNTY SCHOOLS FCAT Results Analysis & School Grades Review Barry Farley, Manager Testing & Evaluation July 14, 2007 When the public hears about FCAT, the common thinking is that it is a single test. Today I’m going to review the results from a complex and varied group of no fewer than 7 separate assessments that cross 9 different grade levels. So let’s start by going over some basic information that you need to know about FCAT in order to better understand the results.When the public hears about FCAT, the common thinking is that it is a single test. Today I’m going to review the results from a complex and varied group of no fewer than 7 separate assessments that cross 9 different grade levels. So let’s start by going over some basic information that you need to know about FCAT in order to better understand the results.

    2. What You Need to Know Tests are based on the benchmarks of the Sunshine State Standards The stated mission…to assess what students know and can do Reading: assessed at grades 3-10, performance items at grades 4, 8, & 10 Mathematics: assessed at grades 3-10, performance items at grades 5, 8, & 10 Writing: assessed at grades 4, 8, & 10, essay & multiple-choice Science: assessed at grades 5, 8, & 11 Rd: Recognizes the use of cause & effect; identifies author’s purpose in a text Math: Identifies patterns and makes predictions Science: Identifies the structure and function of cellsRd: Recognizes the use of cause & effect; identifies author’s purpose in a text Math: Identifies patterns and makes predictions Science: Identifies the structure and function of cells

    3. What You Need to Know FCAT results are reported using— Scale Scores -- SS (100-500) Achievement Levels (1-5) Developmental Scale Scores – DevSS (@300-3600) % of students at each level (0%-100%) Number correct by content reporting area Writing+ essay score (1.0-6.0 rubric) National Percentiles (1-99 -- NRT’s only)

    4. What You Need to Know FCAT results are NOT reported— By Benchmark (i.e., analyze author’s purpose) By Teacher – No class reports

    5. What You Need to Know Each test at each grade level was developed and scaled independent of the others – A SS of 300 may be Lvl 2 on one test and Lvl 3 on another Cut points for the 5 achievement levels were set independently for each test & at each grade level Test content, test blueprint, and item weighting change every year Writing prompts change every year DOE began releasing copies of tests in 2005-06 Item 1: Teacher-based data is available using FCAT-STAR and is active to current enrollment. Item 2: In addition, at most levels DOE & the Florida Board increased the cut level recommended by educators & curriculum experts Item 4: Refer to content focus for Gr10 Rd as example for test content differences. The release schedule for future tests is shown below and is dependent on appropriate levels of funding as indicated in the previous question. Schedule Tests to Be Released Fall 2005 Grade 4 – Reading and Mathematics tests Grade 8 – Reading and Mathematics tests Grade 10 – Reading test for retake students Grade 10 – Mathematics test for all 10th graders Fall 2006 Grade 3 – Reading and Mathematics tests Grade 7 – Reading and Mathematics tests Grade 9 – Reading and Mathematics tests Grade 10 – Reading test for all 10th graders Grade 10 – Mathematics test for retake students Fall 2007 Grade 5 – Reading , Mathematics, and Science tests Grade 6 – Reading and Mathematics tests Grade 8 – Science test Fall 2008 Grade 4 – Reading and Mathematics tests Grade 8 – Reading and Mathematics tests Grade 10 – Reading and Mathematics tests Grade 11 – Science test The Department of Education would prefer to release a form of the Grade 10 test every year, but the practical and technical details to support this activity are still being examined. Because the Department of Education prepares four Grade 10 tests each year (one for tenth graders and three for students retaking the test) many more questions must be written, field-tested, scored, and equated to support the release of this test.

Elementary Results Review FCAT READING Gr3 SS – 312 -5* (2nd highest*) Gr4 SS – 315 +2 Gr5 SS – 311 +9 (Highest Ever) Red line=Gr3 Blue line=Gr4 Green line=Gr5 Note the anomoly shown at Gr3 (red) in 2006. DOE has determined that this was caused by a very complicated issue concerning the Gr3 Reading anchor items. End result was that 2006 to 2007 growth in Reading was skewed negatively, and most Lake elementaries did not have those students counted in the school grade calculations for reading growth and for low25 reading growth.Red line=Gr3 Blue line=Gr4 Green line=Gr5Note the anomoly shown at Gr3 (red) in 2006.
