  1. STAR 2010 September 10, 2010

  2. Agenda • New in 2010 • Interpreting reports • Comparing results • Appendixes A-G

  3. California Modified Assessment (CMA) reports Scale score, performance levels for Grades 6–8 English−Language Arts (ELA) Grades 6–7 mathematics Grade 8 science Percent correct for ELA grade 9 Life Science, grade 10 Algebra I What’s New in 2010 Manual (M) 2

  4. Results: Reporting ClusterCautions M 8−12;Appendix A • Based on small numbers of items; therefore, may not be reliable or generalizable • NOT equated from year to year • Should not compare reporting cluster percent correct from year to year

  5. Interpreting Reporting Clusters or Content Areas in the Same Year M 8−12;Appendix A • Compare to percent-correct range of proficient students statewide

  6. 2010 CST Reporting Clusters: Number of Questions and Average Percent Correct M Appendix A To be finalized with complete data in 2010 Post-Test Guide, after August 16.

  7. Examples—Interpreting Reporting Clusters for the CST for Geometry M 11

  8. Using Results M 4 • For instructional decisions with other data • Used in Academic Performance Index (API) calculations: CSTs, CAPA, CMA (only grades 3–8, excluding Algebra I) • Used in adequate yearly progress (AYP) calculations, ELA and mathematics: • Grades 2–8, CSTs • Grades 3–8, CMA (excluding Algebra I) • Grades 2–8 and 10, CAPA

  9. Year-to-Year ComparisonsDo Compare CSTs:Same Grade and Same Content Area M 13−16 • Mean scale score • Same content and grade, varying years • Percent in each performance level • Same content by grade across years • e.g., 2009 ELA grade 10 with 2010 ELA grade 10

  10. Year-to-Year ComparisonsDo Compare CSTs:Percent Proficient and Advanced M 13−16 • Percentage of students scoring at PROFICIENT and above • For a given grade and subject, e.g., Percent proficient and above for grade 3 math in 2009 and 2010 • For a given subject and aggregated grades, e.g., Percent proficient and above for grades 2– 6 mathematics in 2009 and 2010 • Across grades and a subject, e.g., Percent proficient and above in all courses and all grades

  11. Year-to-Year ComparisonsDON’T Compare M 13−16 • Individual scale scores or statistics based on scale scores for different grades or content areas • Subjects by grade are independently scaled • Different content standards are measured in different grades • Cohorts across grades • Across tests • CMA grades 6−11, STS grades 5−11 to previous years • CAPA, CMA grades 3−5, STS grades 2−4 to years before 2009

  12. Example—Using CST Results to Compare Grade Results from Year to Year M 14

  13. Summary • Do’s and Don’ts • Do compare mean scale score, percent at performance levels within same grade, same content area • Don’t compare mean scale scores across grades, content area • Summary and Internet reports • Data CDs • Individual reports

  14. Appendixes • Appendix A: STAR Reporting Clusters • Appendix B: STAR Scale Score Ranges • Appendix C: STAR Conditional Standard Errors of Measurement (CSEM) • Appendix D: Parent/Guardian or School District Request for Verification of 2010 Test Score • Appendix E: Request to Correct 2010 STAR CST/CMA and CAPA Demographic Data • Appendix F: California Reading List Number • Appendix G: Glossary of Statistical Terms
