Goals for today
Connecting the Dots...
Michigan Academic Standards and the M-Step
o reading, writing and mathematics presented as tools for learning
o increased focus on the application (product) of learning
● Overview of the M-Step
● Opportunity to take and score
o ELA and Math Classroom Activity
o ELA and Math Performance Assessment
.
What is M-STEP?
Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress
The
●

●
●
M-STEP will include:
Summative assessments designed to measure student growth effectively.
English language arts and mathematics will be assessed in grades 3–8
Science in grades 4 and 7
Social studies in grades 5 and 8
It also includes the Michigan Merit Examination in 11th grade which consists of the
ACT Plus Writing, WorkKeys, and M-STEP summative in English language arts,
mathematics, science, and social studies.
Structure of M-Step
Three components
● Computer Adaptive Test

with paper pencil option this year
● Classroom Activity
● Performance Task (ELA and Math)
o taken on computer, but not computer adaptive/or taken
with paper/pencil
Structure of M-Step
Assessment Items from
o Michigan-developed test items
o Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium items
o Pilot test items
Structure of M-Step
Classroom Activity
o Purpose- to introduce students to the vocabulary and the
context of the Performance Task to follow
● 30-minute scripted lesson
● presented to the students as close as possible, but no more
than 3 days prior to the administration of the Performance
Task
● may occur on the same day as the PT
● delivered in class by the teacher
● not an online activity
●
required task- make-up sessions required
Structure of M-Step
Classroom Activity (30 minutes)
● teacher can create class charts, tables and graphs to
summarize learning
● students can take notes
● student and teacher notes, graphs, tables and charts
cannot be used on the Performance Test
● administering the PT without first administering the
Classroom Activity is considered a testing irregularity
Structure of M-Step
Performance Based ELA Task
●
2-5 pieces of source material (reading passages)
● 1-2 selected response items
● 2-3 short constructed response items
● and one full-write essay (extended response
item).
● Given in 2 parts, with Part 1 given first
Structure of M-Step
Performance Based ELA Task
Each student will write one full-length essay, written in one
of these genres in the Michigan Academic Standards● Argumentative
● Informational
● Narrative
● Opinion
● Explanatory
Structure of M-Step
Performance Based Math Task
Each student will answer several constructed response
questions connected to a math problem such as“In this task, you will use data to create a model that shows the
relationship between animal body weight and pulse rate measures.The
you will examine additional data to examine your model”
Calculators
The calculators are embedded into the online
tests and will only be able to be used on items
that allow a calculator. Grades 3-5 will not be
allowed to use calculators on any portion of the
test. Grades 6-8,11 will have calculators
embedded into the test questions if taking
online. Paper/pencil tests will allow calculators
for sessions 2 and 3 for grades 6-8,11.
Scrap Paper
Students will be allowed to use scrap paper for
online testing. This paper is considered a
secure document and MUST be collected and
shredded following the test session. It should
be noted that students should keep in mind
time as they use scrap paper on the ELA
portion as the session does expire at the end of
the instructional day.
Performance Task
Samples of Classroom Activities, Performance
Tasks, and Genre Rubrics are available online
http://www.mi.gov/mde/0,4615,7-14022709_70117_70118---,00.html
Test Results
It is anticipated that test results will be released in late
summer. Raw scores for online tests will be available
within 2 weeks of student completing testing in a subject.
Once all subjects are tested online, rosters of student
results will be made available. Use caution when looking
at the near-time reports as the raw score will only include
number of correct out of number of items tested.
Tech Enhanced Items
It is important that you have teachers practice
the online test items with their students. Some
of the questions ask for more than one answer,
select all that apply, and highlight the text.

Only multiple-choice items
Grade 4: will consist of content learned in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades
Grade 7: will consist of content learned in 5th, 6th, and 7th grades
Grade 11: will measure high school content expectations that a
student should know and be able to demonstrate by spring of grade
11
● Similar to the previous MME Day 3 science component- with
additional items in the Inquiry strand
*No Classroom Activity or Performance Task
Social Studies Content of M-Step
● Grade 5: will consist of learning from 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades
● Grade 8: will consist of learning from 6th, 7th, and 8th grades
● Grade 11: will measure high school content expectations that a
student should know and be able to demonstrate by spring of grade
11
● Only multiple-choice items
● Similar to the previous MME Day 3 science component- with
additional items requiring analyzing and interpreting graphic
stimuli
*No Classroom Activity or Performance Task
Let’s Practice!
ELA
● Argumentative Performance TaskMandatory Financial Literacy Classes
Math
● Speeding Tickets
Rubrics to assess ELA content
● Read closely and Talk to the Text
(annotate).
● What do you notice?
● How are elements weighted?
Assess yourself with the rubric
● Read through the Classroom Activity and
then complete the Performance Task
● Use the corresponding rubric or scoring
guide to assess your performance
on the activity you just completed
What does this mean for instruction?
Based upon...
● the performance task you completed?
● the rubric/ scoring guide used to assess it?
How can you use the samples of ELA and Math
Performance Tasks in your classroom?
Other Instructional Implications to
consider...
● M
› ore challenging texts to teach reading (both higher grade-level text levels
and reductions in amount of out-of-level teaching)
● G
› reater use of informational texts to teach reading (particularly in primary
grades and in secondary English)
● ›Increased emphasis on close reading (or critical reading)
● ›Greater attention to argument and evidence
● ›More writing about reading
● I›ncreased emphasis on disciplinary literacy (science, technical subjects,
social studies, history)
● ›Enhanced role of technology intermixed throughout the standards
● Greater use of critical and analytical thinking

assessment?
What questions do you still have?

11th Grade Performance Task
Due to concerns around testing time, the Classroom Activity and
Performance Task components of the 11th grade M-STEP are optional
for high schools. While there are some benefits to administering
these components, they will not be required. There will be no
accountability penalty in terms of participation or scoring for high
schools that choose to not administer the classroom activities and
performance tasks. This does not apply to the classroom activities
and performance tasks in grades 3 through 8 — those are required.
