  1. Assessment Workshop What is SAGE? Understanding the Standards Using Questions to Plan Using Questions with Students Where to Find Questions Handouts, Links, etcat: assessmentworkshop.weebly.com

  2. What is SAGE? Student Assessment of Growth and Excellence • Based on Utah’s Science Core Standards • Emphasis on Depth of Knowledge (DOK) • Assessment is Adaptive • New Types of Questions (beyond multiple choice)

  3. Adaptive Assessments Encourage students to try every question!

  4. Sample Simulation Question Conductivity Question

  5. SAGE Portal More information about the SAGE Assessment System can be found at: http://sageportal.org • Formative (available now) • Assessments (Spring 2014) • Interims (Fall/Winter 2014)

  6. Utah Science Core TASK: Read pg. 1 – Organization of the Elementary Science Core Read pg. 5 – Intended Learning Outcomes

  7. The Structure of the Science Core

  8. Indicators and ILOs Electricity Example • Standard IV, Obj. 2, Indicator C:Generalize the properties of materials that carry the flow of electricity using data by testing different materials. • ILO 1i:Use data to construct a reasonable conclusion.

  9. Utah Science Core TASK: Read the indicators for your standard. Identify indicators that push inquiry or ILO skills. Be ready to share 1 indicator and the ILO skill it reinforces.

  10. Using Questions to Help You Plan Released questions: • Clarify the standards • Identify content specific and academic vocabulary • Highlight science skills

  11. Using Questions to Help You Plan Objective: Compare the amount of static charge produced by rubbing various materials together (e.g., rubbing fur on a glass rod produces a greater charge then rubbing the fur with a metal rod, the static charge produced when a balloon is rubbed on hair is greater than when a plastic bag is rubbed on hair). Question: Which of the following would react similar to a plastic rod when rubbed with a piece of fur to cause a ping pong ball to move without touching it? A. Rubber • Wood • Copper • Aluminum

  12. Using Questions to Help You Plan

  13. Using Questions to Help You Plan TASK: Read the sample questions for your standard. Identify vocabulary that is used and science skills students need. Create a poster that lists content vocabulary, academic vocabulary and other insights.

  14. Using Questions with Students Three Strategies: • Probes • Exit Tickets • Evidence Circle

  15. PROBES Students choose an answer and explain their reasoning in a constructed response format. To create a probe: • Find a higher level question. • Use the stem as the probe. • Turn the answer choices into “student” ideas. • Ask students which “student” they agree with and why.

  16. PROBES

  17. EXIT TICKET • Change the stem of a question into a writing prompt. • Assessing: Separate answers into two piles: got it & needs help. Example: A class observes two demonstrations: water changing into steam and a piece of wood burning and producing smoke. A student concludes that both demonstrations must be examples of a chemical change because a gas is produced in each. Do you agree or disagree with the student? Explain your reasoning.

  18. EVIDENCE CIRCLES • Choose a higher level question that you think students may struggle with. • Write the question on a large sheet of paper. • Write the answer choices on strips of paper. • Instruct students to read the question first, and then to take turns reading the answer choices. • Tell students to discuss the answer choices. They must choose the best answer and be ready to defend their choice.

  19. Where to Find Questions Sage Formative – password required UTIPS – password required NAEP – National Assessment of Educational Progress TIMMS – Trends in International Math and Science Study

  20. Reflection / Work Time • Explore the sageprotal.org • Look for questions to use in class on the different item banks. • Create a probe, exit ticket, or evidence circle activity to use in class.
