SOL Remediation
Types of Assessment
Formal vs. Informal Written vs. Performance Tasks vs. Projects vs. Portfolios Summative vs. Diagnostic vs. Formative
Summative Assessments
Designed to measure knowledge, skills, and abilities after instruction has taken place.
Typically Summative Assessments has “Pass” and “Fail” associated with them which distinguishes them from Formative and Diagnostic which don’t.
Examples: SOL SAT/ACT Final Exams or tests
Diagnostic Assessment
Understand the current knowledge, skill, and/or ability so that we can diagnose the gap and thereby provide a prescription for learning if required.
Identify students’ current knowledge of a subject, their skill sets and capabilities, and to clarify misconceptions before teaching takes place. Knowing students’ strengths and weaknesses can help you better plan what to teach and how to teach it.
Examples: NWEA ARDT Teacher Evaluation Skills/Tasks
Formative Assessment
Provide feedback and information during the instructional process, while learning is taking place, and while learning is occurring.
Used to strengthen memory recall by practice and to correct misconceptions and to promote confidence in ones knowledge.
Examples: Warm-ups & Exit tickets ActivEngage Informal assessments – survey, thumbs up/thumbs down
SPBQ Report
Student Performance By Question (SPBQ) SOL report generated from VDOE Breaks down SOL into question stems
Determine what is important!
Identify district and school strengths and weaknesses Ideal time – summer planning, beginning of the year How can I use this now?
Examine topics of emphasis Examine question stems – TEI? Rigor?
Team approach
Work smarter – not harder!
Examine your pacing for remainder of the year
Algebra Readiness Diagnostic Test (ARDT) Math 6 – Algebra 1 Limited licenses/units Computer adaptive Old SOL items and new TEI items Strand reports
SOL Simulation
2013 SOL Simulation administration Split into reporting categories.
Give in parts or as a whole – school-based decision!
Different scenarios: ○ ○ Focus on “endurance” Focus on “instructional time” Remediate immediately based upon student performance.
