  3. CAASPP System Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics California Alternate Assessments (CAAs) for ELA and mathematics California Science Test (CAST)—to be piloted in 2016–17 CAA for Science—to be piloted in 2016–17 and 2017–18 Standards-based Tests in Spanish 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  4. Importance of Informing Parents and Guardians About Testing Pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 852: • Each year local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to notify parents or guardians of their pupil’s participation in the CAASPP tests. • In addition, LEAs are required to inform parents/ guardians of their right to exempt their child from taking the CAASPP tests. • Parents/Guardians must annually submit a written request specifying the tests to be exempted. 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  5. What’s New for 2016–17 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  6. What’s New for 2016–17 • New Pilot Assessments • CAST (California Science Test) • CAA for Science • Testing Window • All assessments can be administered when 66 percent of the instructional year has been completed, including grade eleven. • Smarter Balanced ELA and mathematics testing will be available on January 9, 2017. • CAST and CAA testing will be available on March 20, 2017. • New and Revised Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs) • 29 new and 24 revised 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  7. What’s New for 2016–17 • Classroom activities have been eliminated for both summative and interim assessments. • The California Student Statewide Identifier (SSID) number no longer includes the prefix “CA-.” • There are two new non-embedded accessibility resources: • Simplified Test Directions (designated support) • 100s Number Table (accommodation) 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  17. Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  18. Smarter BalancedAssessment System 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  19. Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments • All students in grades three through eight and grade eleven take the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments with the following exceptions: • Students with the most significant cognitive disabilities and whose individualized education program (IEP) team designates the use of the alternate assessment • English learners who have been enrolled in a school in the United States for fewer than 12 months for ELA (optional exemption) 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  20. Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) CAT adjusts the level of difficulty to the student’s abilities. Student is not scored on the basis of the number of correct answers (i.e., percent correct). Student is scored on both the number of correct answers and the difficulty of the questions completed. 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  21. Performance Task (PT) The PT is designed to provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate higher-order thinking skills to explore and analyze a complex, real-world scenario. The PT is required. Students will not receive a score if the CAT and PT are not completed. 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  22. Early Assessment Program (EAP) • Used to demonstrate college readiness at the California State University (CSU) and some California community colleges • Grade eleven students must authorize the release of their testresultsfor each assessment (ELA and mathematics). • Students will receive a question at the end of the computer adaptive portion of each test authorizing the release of test results. • Students who do not authorize the release of their results may need to provide a copy of the CAASPP score report to the campus. 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  23. Benefits of the EAP • Students who release their CAASPP test scores for EAP purposes and receive a score of Standard Exceeded for ELA and/or mathematics will not have to: • Participate in the CSU Early Start Program • Take the CSU Placement Exam for the content area(s) where the score received was Standard Exceeded • Take the community college assessment for placement 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  24. Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  25. Security Considerations forInterim Assessment Materials In California, the Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments are available only to educators in California LEAs. (Nonpublic school educators who provide direct instruction to California public school students may also have access.) The interim assessments are not for public use, display, or distribution. Any use, display, or distribution of the interim assessments that results in access to individuals beyond LEA staff is considered a security breach. 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  26. Overview of the Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments Two types of interim assessments: • Interim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs) • ELA, mathematics, and PTs for each content area • Look and feel like the summative assessments • Between 34 and 49 questions per computer-based fixed form • Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs) • Shorter and more focused on specific concepts • Designed to allow flexibility with pacing plans • Up to 18 questions per IAB 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  27. Benefits of Using the Interim Assessments Build teacher and student comfort with the process of online testing Evaluate progress and plan adjustments to increase student learning Experience content and questions reflective of the summative assessments Provide an excellent opportunity to try out accessibility supports and actual test questions with students 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  28. Using InterimAssessment Results Interim assessment results may help: Improve teaching and student mastery of the knowledge and skills measured by the assessment of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) (when combined with other information) Identify specific areas of strength and weakness Check end-of-unit learning Make decisions about areas of curricular enhancements Make decisions around professional development needs 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  29. The Interim Assessment Manner of Administration Setting • The setting is used to identify which interim assessment results are appropriate for comparison across time and students. • The accuracy of this setting is important. • This setting should be set before administering an interim assessment. • Nonstandardized and Standardized/ Benchmark are the two setting options. 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  30. The Interim Assessment Manner of Administration Setting • In the Interim Assessment (IA) Reporting System, results with the icon are from a Standardized/Benchmark administration. • For further details, see the tip sheet or the Interim Assessment User Guide on the CAASPP Portal. 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  31. Interim Assessment Administration Resources 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  32.

  34. Digital Library 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  35. Digital Library Registration • LEA CAASPP coordinators are responsible for providing access to LEA and nonpublic school staff who provide services to their students. • Create and manage users and manage LEAs on the Administration and Registration Tools (ART) Web site at https://art.smarterbalanced.org. • Adding Users to the Digital Library video available at http://www.caaspp.org/training/caaspp/index.html. • NEW! Self-registration interface for the Digital Library—LEA staff will be able to request and receive a Digital Library account or reset their password. 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  36. Digital Library Registration Digital Library Self-Registration Page 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

  41. Strategies to Encourage Educator Use of the Digital Library Dedicate time during staff meetings and/or professional development time to explore the Digital Library and CDE resources to support engagement. Use the Professional Learning Series, the Instructional Learning Series, and the Smarter Balanced Making Connections resource lists. Spend time working with site coordinators, LEA staff, and teachers to familiarize them with the Digital Library. Implement formative assessment processes and practices for grade-level teams and school sites. 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
