  2. Nebraska Standards • Science – Social Studies • Standards “unpacking” • New Tools

  3. Common Core Standards • Reading and Mathematics • Science • State Board Decision

  4. Common Core Assessment • Two Grants Funded • Smarter Balance - $160 million • PARCC - $170 million • 2014-15 • Not a requirement – State Board Decision

  5. NeSA-Update • District Assessment Contacts – change through superintendent. • Security Agreements – One for principals. One for DAC – all returned to NDE. • October testing decisions (online, paper/pencil, Braille, large print, Spanish) eDirect and NDE • Testing 11th graders – 3rd year of high school. One year before expected graduation year.

  6. Practice Tests • October 18th – Mathematics • January 24th – Online writing test – 11th grade • Testing Window – Reading, Mathematics, Science (field test) March 28, 2011-May 6, 2011

  7. NeSA-Writing – 2011Grades 4, 8 – Essentially the same • Similarities • Same testing window • Same rubric • Same Cut scores • Differences • Scannable booklets – three pages, 7,000 characters • #2 pencil only • Mailed from and returned to DRC

  8. 11th Grade Online NeSA-W Pilot • 11th grade not required to take NeSA-W in 2011 (only). Requirements resume in 2012 with an online test. • Voluntary – district commitment in October • No scores – no cut scores • Rubric transition to analytic scoring

  9. Rubric weighted in four domains Content/ideas – 35% Organization – 25% Word Choice/Voice – 20% Conventions – 20% • Rubric shared across state in November • Rubric also made into a self-assessment checklist Proposed

  11. Overall Writing Plan(Based on field test outcomes) Proposed • 2012 – 8th grade and 11th grade analytic scoring and online writing • 2013 – 4th grade analytic scoring and online writing • New 4th and 8th grade analytic rubrics released in 2011

  12. CAL Software InstallationJanuary 24, 2011 • Automatic updates of software – ready for reading, mathematics, science but not writing • Participation in 11th grade writing pilot will require download of dictionary – http://nesa.caltesting.org/download/index.html or • Totally new download including all tools for reading, mathematics, science and writing • New to online testing? – Total download

  13. Including All Students • 99% of students will take the NeSA general education tests (with or without accommodations • NeSA-AAR, AAM, and AA-Science (field test) • Alternate tests mailed from NDE and sent back to NDE

  17. New Very Small Schools AYP Goal-Reading • No different AYP Goals from all other schools. • If a grade span(s) has no group of 30, the data will be aggregated. • Apply the NeSA-Reading State goal of the grade span contributing the greatest number of students to the aggregated data.
