1. KINGSTON NUMERACY NETWORK Professional Learning Session Wednesday, 5thMarch 2010 ON-DEMAND TESTING Why? When? Then what? Sharron Cramer Kingswood Primary School

2. What’s the purpose? Assessment FOR, AS and OF Learning No-one grew by being measured

3. Why do we administer On-Demand Testing? • Immediate results and feedback to students • No teacher marking • Administered by computer/or downloaded • Individuals, small groups, cohorts, whole class • Tracking progress • Links to VELS • Assist with making consistent judgements • Assist with planning future teaching

4. What test? LINEAR • Same questions, same order for all students • Can be used as pre/post test in specific area of maths • Sample questions help teachers understand learning sequence and content • Different tests can be assigned to cater for various abilities • Help determine groupings for differentiation

5. ADAPTIVE • Sets of questions are delivered according to student ability • Cannot be viewed before the students sit the test • Results aligned to VELS • Only gives a VELS progression point score (no skills information) • Track and monitor progress over time • Help determine groupings for differentiation

6. PROGRESSIVE • Tests specific VELS level e.g. 3.0-3.5,3.5-4.0, 4.0-4.5 etc • At this stage, only Number available for Maths, Reading for English • Can be viewed and printed out before the students sit the test • Students who sit the same VELS level test e.g 3.0-3.5 do the same questions • Provides a VELS score and a individual or class skills list (i.e. is a cross between the Adaptive test and the linear test) • Recommended action: - Do Adaptive test to get a VELS score for each individual student and then set a progress test based on their Adaptive test score

7. Scheduling Tests • Determine purpose of test first Will it be Assessment FOR, Assessment AS or Assessment OF Learning? • What is manageable and purposeful- Teacher? Student? School? • Is On-Demand Testing pre-determined at team/school level? • Does it complement the planning of mathematics? • Is there a timeline for collation of data at the school level?

8. Helpful Hints {Things that work at Kingswood} • Make a copy of Linear tests so you know what you are testing-helps group for differentiation • Use Linear test BEFORE teaching • Use Adaptive test end of each term-making judgements/school progress tracking • Monitor students as they complete the tests-note strategies used • Share data with the students-set goals • File student results/graphs in assessment portfolio as evidence {Good to present at PRP time!} • Determine cross-grade groups for like abilities in key content areas • Use other tools for making judgements –triangulated data • Hard copies can support Naplan question format and timing

9. Monitoring Progress KINGSWOOD PS NUMERACY ASSESSMENT/MONITORING SCHEDULE ASSESSMENT Please administer the following standardised tests and collect work samples as evidence of achievement. Other assessment tools should be used to identify, plan and monitor student achievement.  Early Years Numeracy Interview-File growth Points Data {Term 1 and 4}  Filed work samples {Term 1-4}  Students identified for ILP  Students identified for ILP  Filed work samples {Term1-4}  EYN Interview conducted {End term 4} SCHOOL DATA COLLECTED TO MONITOR PROGRESS Please record student achievement on spreadsheet and send to Assessment and Reporting Coordinator at the end of each term where indicated. Copy of ILPs to Office June and December VELS-Teacher Judgement EYN Interview data sent to next teacher {term 4} VELS LEVEL 1 Copy of ILPs to Office June and December VELS-Teacher Judgement EYN Interview data sent to next teacher {term 4} VELS LEVEL 2   Students identified for ILP On-Demand Adaptive Number-{End of each term} 2 On-Demand Linear tests-Focus topic Filed work samples S.A Number Facts {end of each term} Naplan Testing-{Term 2} EYN Interview Conducted-{Grade 3 /4 below expected level} Copy of ILPs to Office On –Demand Adaptive number-end of each term S.A Number Facts score Naplan scores {Term 4} June and December VELS-Teacher Judgement EYN Interview data sent to ext teacher {term 4} VELS LEVEL 3        Students identified for ILP On-Demand Adaptive Number-{end of each term} 2 On-Demand Linear tests-Focus topic Filed work samples S.A Number Facts-{end of each term} Naplan Testing {Term 2} Work Samples from Fractions and Decimals Interview Copy of ILPs to Office On –Demand Adaptive number-end of term S.A Number Facts score June and December VELS-Teacher Judgement Naplan scores-{Term 4} VELS LEVEL 4     
