Transcript SAT-10/ARMT Results

SAT-10/ARMT Results
(Stanford 10),was administered to
Alabama students in Grades 3-8 for the
first time in April 2003.
Norm-referenced scores
Enable us to compare a student’s
performance with the performance of
the norming group.
Primary Purpose of the Stanford 10
• To compare individual performance with
performance of the norming group.
• To report relative strengths and weaknesses
of individuals.
• To provide data to study changes in
performance over time

Norm-Referenced Scores
- National Percentile Ranks (PR)
- National Stanines (S)
- National Grade Percentile Bands
- Cluster Ranges
- Achievement/Ability Comparison Range
Reported Scores cont……………..
• National Percentile Ranks (PR)
• A percentile rank tells the percent of students in the
norming group who got the same raw score or a low
raw score on the test.
• National Stanines (S)
• Stanines range from a low of 1 to a high of 9, with 5
denoting the national average.
• Stanines 1,2, and 3 are below average; 4,5, and 6are
average ; and 7,8, and 9 are above average.
Percentile Rank………………
• A student earning a percentile rank tells the percent
of students in the norming group who got the same
raw score or a lower raw score on the test.
• A student earning a percentile rank of 65 performed
as well or better than 65% of the students in the
norming group.
National Stanines (S)
• What do we know about a stanine score of 4?
• What do we know about a stanine score of 5?
• What do we know about a stanine score of 7?
Bell-Shaped Curve
ARMT Achievement Levels
• Standards have been set in order to report
the student’s overall performance in reading
and mathematics by an achievement level.
There are four achievement levels for reading
and mathematics.
Four Achievement Levels
• Level I- Does not meet academic content
standards
• Level II- Partially meets academic content
standards
• Level III- Meets academic content standards
• (grade-level performance)
• Level IV- Exceeds academic content standards
Purpose of the Data
• To improve achievement
• Determine the achievement of individual
students and students groups
• Identify relative strengths and weakness of
individual students and students group.
• Provide data to study changes in performance
of individual students and students and
student groups over time.
Your ARMT Scores…………….
• What is your achievement level in reading?
• What does this tell you about your overall
mastery of grade-level reading content?
• What is your achievement level in
mathematics?
• What does this tell you about your overall
mastery of grade-level mathematics content?
What can you do Better?
• Identify specific instructional strategies to
address strengths and/or weaknesses in
reading and mathematics.
• Work hard this year to get a better score!!!!!
