Overview • The new Math • Process • EDS log on • DAC, administrator, teacher and student roles/processes • Tasks • Submission • The web page

Math Terminology COE Math is referred to as Mathematics Year 1 and Mathematics Year 2. • Mathematics Year 1 Algebra and Integrated 1 • Mathematics Year 2 Geometry and Integrated 2

Math Guidelines • No fewer than 6 and no more than 8 work samples • 2 on-demand work samples • Each reporting strand in Mathematics Year 1 and Mathematics Year 2 must be represented at least two times in the collection • At least two representations of Process and Course Specific PEs are also required for a sufficient Mathematics Year 1 or Mathematics Year 2 collection. • All of the work samples that are listed on the work sample documentation form must be included in the same sequential order in the submitted collection • The work sample documentation form must be signed by the student • The Math moodle is a source for instructional materials

Eligibility policy A student must have sat for and generated a score on the reading, writing and /or mathematics year 1 and mathematics year 2 state assessment at least two times with one of the attempts being at least one year prior to submitting a COE.

Eligibility A student can submit only one COE per content area (reading, writing, mathematics year 1, mathematics year 2) in their high school years.

Eligibility English Language Learner (ELL) students are exempted from participating in the Reading and Writing HSPE in their first year of school in Washington State. The exemption is called New Non-English Proficient (NNEP). If they are exempted prior to 11th grade, they need to take and not pass the HSPE two times before being eligible to submit a COE. A student in the class of 2014 or earlier who transfers into a public school from out of state or from an in-state non-public school setting (private or home school) is eligible for direct access to the COE without taking a state exam first (ELL or not). They are considered transfer students and have direct access to all CAA/CIA options once the appropriate paperwork has been submitted to OSPI and approved.

Policies • If students meet the augmentation requirements, they may submit an augmented COE. The augmented collection must be submitted in the subsequent submission window. • Students may choose to either Augment a collection or Appeal a collection. A score appeal is appropriate only when the student believes the collection did not meet standard because of a scoring error (such as miscalculation or scoring errors on performance tasks).

Policies, continued • Level 1 and Level 2 test irregularities invalidate a student’s score for the entire collection pending a district investigation and report returned to OSPI. Level 1 internet plagiarism is not refutable regardless of any district investigation and the student scores will remain invalidated. • All extended time responses must be done under the supervision of the teacher or school staff and are not to be taken home. While there is some opportunity for appropriate teacher assistance all work on the extended time response needs to be that of the student.

Extenuating Circumstances An extenuating circumstance is a situation that has caused a student’s completed collection to miss a scoring window although all eligibility and sufficiency criteria have been met. If a district can provide documentation of the circumstances by which the student’s COE was not scored, a review panel will determine if the extenuating circumstance warrants scoring the COE at a later date. Examples of extenuating circumstances include: • Administrative error or irregularity • Unexpected/Severe medical situation/Serious illness • Lost/missing COE materials • Other unavoidable situation

Graduation Requirements New Requirement How does COE fit in?

The COE Class as the 3rd Math Credit Question – Can our Collection of Evidence class count as the third math credit for those students who have not yet met standard on the state assessment and are working to develop a collection? YES!

State Board Reference And the answer is….

Yes, with some understandings Two conditions allow for the class to count as the third math credit This issue is a data processor issue of coding the course

Submission Requirements How many EOC attempts must a student have prior to submitting a Math COE? Beginning with the class of 2013, students must have at least two failed attempts and score reports prior to submitting a Math COE.

Submission Requirements Do the EOC attempts have to come from the content area of the collection students are submitting? At least one of the EOC attempts must be from the content area for which the student is submitting the Math COE. The other attempt can be from the same or another math content area.

Collection Requirements How many ‘On-Demand’ Tasks must be included in a Math COE? Two tasks or work samples must be ‘On-Demand’. These tasks are designed to be completed in a single class period under the supervision of an educator. Any Inclusion Task may be selected by the teacher or student as ‘On-Demand’.

Collection Requirements What is meant by an Extended Time response? An “extended time” response is one that students may complete over more than one class period or session while still supervised by a teacher or education professional. Sometimes this may be multiple days or session. These responses allow the students the opportunity for multiple editing and revising prior to submitting their final response for submission in their collection. All extended time responses must be done under the supervision of the teacher or school staff and are not to be taken home. While there is some opportunity for appropriate teacher assistance the work on the extended response needs to be that of the student.

Collection Requirements What is “Appropriate Teacher Assistance”? For the extended time responses, it is expected that there is an appropriate amount of teacher assistance. For Mathematics, it is expected that teachers will assist with concept development but not teach to the specific inclusion task and use part of the task to illustrate a point. As students work through extended time responses, teachers may encourage students to check their work and remind them to edit and revise their written materials. Extended time responses must continue to be student work rather than group work.

Math COE Math has a unique submission method. • It begins electronically and then becomes paper-based. • Students work on a paper-based work sample task and response form. • It is submitted in an envelope as a paper collection, scanned and then scored electronically.

Highlights of the Math COE process • Eligibility and sufficiency are completed online • Required forms are printed with student specific information on them and ready for student use • Students do not need access to computers in order to complete COE • Training is readily available for teachers and students

The Process

Step 1: EDS Accounts • All staff involved with COE will need an account on EDS • Teachers and administrators can self-enroll for an EDS account • Request for roles forwarded to District Data Security Manager • Once roles are approved, teachers can log in to EDS

EDS Accounts • Math teachers need role of “eCOESchoolAdvisorMath” • Administrators (principal or designee) need role of “eCOESchoolPrincipal” • Role request needs to be made for each school/district/role

Step 2: Create Groups • Note: Teachers need to log in to eCOE through EDS at least one time before their name will be on the list for creating groups • Create as many groups as you want to organize your students • Full submission and augmentation groups are separate

Step 2: Create Groups (cont.) • From menus, choose • Cohort (full or augmentation and submission date) • Teacher • Assign name to group

Step 3: Add students to groups • Click on “Manage Groups” link to add students to groups • Student eligibility information will be displayed • Students may start a COE before they are eligible, but must become eligible before they can submit

Step 4: Assign tasks • Work with students to choose the tasks that they will be working on • Tasks must come from the inclusion bank • Tasks may not be altered • Students may choose more tasks than they need to submit; they will make final choice of which to include before submission • At least two tasks must be on-demand

Step 5: Print tasks • Once the tasks are assigned to the students, they can be printed. • Tasks will contain barcodes used to manage the papers for scoring • Barcodes are unique to each student; do not make copies for other students. • Do not allow students to color in or deface barcodes.

Step 6: Complete Work • Students complete work under the supervision of a teacher • Teacher manages the security of the student work • On-demand tasks completed in on-demand environment

Step 7: Choose work to include in collection • Students must choose 6 – 8 samples to be included in collection • At least two must be on-demand • All sufficiency requirements must be met • All eligibility requirements must be met • Once requirements are met, collection is submitted for teacher approval  principal approval

Step 8: Package and send • A cover sheet will print for each student who is submitting • Put cover sheet and finished tasks into a large mailing envelope (10 X 13) • Place all envelopes from a school into a box and ship to scoring center • Use a carrier with tracking, such as UPS or FedEx, or USPS with tracking.

What happens next? • Collections received by scoring center • All collections scanned • Scorers will score • Results will be returned to schools • Original collections are archived for 2 years (not returned to schools)
