But the new tests are not comparable so we should not compare scores from one to the other. We have a new baseline! November 18, 2014 | Slide 8 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 2015 results, cont’ Think of the standards and the assessment as a new target with new results…. I envision two mountains: People who successfully climb Mt Rainer (at 14,000 ft), will find Mt McKinley (at 20,000 ft) more challenging. Some will be able to meet the challenge, some will be close and some who previously were able to summit Rainier will not be able to summit McKinley at first. November 18, 2014 | Slide 9 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Preparing for New Test Scores Smarter Balanced assessments measure the full range of the Common Core State Standards. They are designed to let teachers and parents know whether students are on track to be college- and career-ready by the time they graduate. Because the new standards set higher expectations for students--and the new tests are designed to assess student performance against these higher expectations--our definition of grade level performance is higher than it used to be. As a result, it’s likely that fewer students will meet grade level standards, especially for the first few years. Results should improve as students have additional years of instruction aligned to the new standards and become better equipped to meet the challenges they present. This does not mean that our students are “doing worse” than they did last year. Rather, the scores represent a “new baseline” that provides a more accurate indicator for educators, students, and parents as they work to meet the rigorous demands of college and career readiness.

OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Legislature has given the State Board the option to set a different cut score for graduation purposes The ELA exit exam cut score will be determined from 10th graders’ performance on the Smarter Balanced HS ELA test (for classes of 2015-2018, at least). Math EOC exit exam cut scores will be determined from this year’s performance on new EOC tests (for classes of 20152018). Exit exam cut score on Smarter Balanced math may also be set next summer – SBE discussion at November meeting. November 18, 2014 | Slide 21 College and Career Ready Cut Scores vs High School Graduation Cut Scores OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION From Draft Position Statement: As directed by the Legislature, with the assistance of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Board hereby intends to adopt a performance level requirement for high school graduation that is statistically equivalent to the current high school minimum proficiency standard, and intends to periodically review this standard over time. November 18, 2014 | Slide 22 Equal Impact OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Equal impact cut scores would yield the same “passing” rates on the new tests as the former tests Reading, Writing or a combination? 2014 or average of past three years? 10th grade pass rates or 11th grade after retakes? Higher cut scores over time?

Have the user check her junk/spam folder for the ‘welcome’ email from the original account creation. a. If it’s there, she’s fine and should try to get into the library with that password b. If it’s not there, give the teacher a heads-up that a password reset email is on the way, and reset the password 2. Double check the email address in ART matches the email she’s using to log in 3. Check that the password reset email isn’t caught in a school or district level filter 4. If password reset email has not hit district email at all, delete and recreate account using same email address (generates new ‘Welcome’ email) 5. If new ‘Welcome’ email doesn’t arrive, contact OSPI ([email protected] or 360-725-6109) November 18, 2014 | Slide 30 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Digital Library Broadening Access to New Groups Currently limited to public K-12 Adding users means adding administrators Working to expand access to other groups in a systematic way November 18, 2014 | Slide 31 Digital Library OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION For more information on how to add users, known issues and solutions/recommendations, educator collaboration, professional and instructional resources please view last month’s webinar by visiting http://www.k12.wa.us/SMARTER/Webinars.aspx October 10, 2014 Slide 32 Interim Assessments 33 November 18, 2014 Interim Assessment Design Principles OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Administered through the same system as Summative Items drawn from same pool as Summative; full array of item types Can be administered at various points in the year Optional for districts Online administration Adhere to Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines Adaptive as appropriate (2015-16) Not intended for accountability decisions November 18, 2014 | Slide 34 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Interim Assessment Components Interim Assessment Interim Comprehensive Assessment (ICA) Interim Assessment Blocks (IAB) November 18, 2014 | Slide 35 Interim Assessments Timeline OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Interim Assessments will be available Jan 6th Jan 6th – Comprehensive Interim Jan 27th – Interim Assessment Blocks Initial release will include fixed forms; adaptive forms will be available as the item pool allows November 18, 2014 | Slide 36 Interim Assessment User Interface, Scoring and Reporting OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION User interface Details for accessing items are not yet determined.

Use Smarter Balanced assessments in grades 3-8 and 11 to signal if students, teachers and systems are on track for graduating students college and career ready. Use the 11th grade tests as a “Green,Yellow, Red” indicator of services/instruction needed in senior year. If red or yellow, districts determine requirements for 12th grade year. Switch resources used for testing retakes and alternatives for passing exit exams on direct instruction and preparation of students.
