Assessment Updates- ACT Aspire
The 9th grade ACT Aspire will no longer be
administered in the fall (likewise 9th grade
fall DLM will not longer be administered.)
The spring administration requirement
remains in effect for grades 9 and 10 for
both ACT Aspire and DLM.
Assessment Updates- Badger
• DPI is barred from adopting assessments
from the Smarter Balanced Assessment
Consortium.
• Anticipating the prohibition to participate in
Smarter Balanced, DPI issued a Request
for Proposals (RFP) in the spring and the
procurement process is underway. This
process will result in selection of new
statewide summative assessments for
grades 3-8 in ELA and mathematics…
Assessment Updates-Science and
Social Studies
• The previously mentioned RFP also includes
science in grades 4, 8, and 10. A separate RFP
was issued for social studies.
• As a result of this new procurement, the fall
WKCE/WAA-SwD science and social studies tests
at grades 4, 8, and 10 will no longer be
administered. Science and social studies
assessments will shift to a spring administration.
• The procurement goal is to release an “Intent to
Award” (i.e., select the vendors) by September
2015.
Alternate Assessment for Science
and Social Studies
– With the elimination of WKCE/WAASwD, we will be moving towards the
DLM science assessment in order to
provide a more cohesive assessment
system.
– Likely, we will still use the Social Studies
rater forms to satisfy state requirement.
Assessment Updates- Reading
Readiness
The current law requiring districts to assess
reading readiness using PALS remains in
place for the 2015-16 school year.
Beginning in the 2016-17 school year,
PALS will no longer be administered
statewide. Instead, districts and charter
school operators will select their own
reading readiness screener and receive
some funding for the use of that screener.
Assessment Updates- Civics
Beginning with the 2016-17 school year, districts,
charter operators, and private choice schools
may not grant a high school diploma until the
student successfully completes a civics test. A
student may re-take the exam until he/she
passes.
The exam must consistent of 100 questions, 60 of
which must be answered correctly to pass.
(Students with an IEP must complete the exam
to receive a diploma, but are not required to
meet the benchmark of 60 correct answers.)
Assessment Updates- Civics
The questions must be identical to those on
the U.S. citizenship test administered by
the United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services.
This assessment falls under the jurisdiction
of districts, charter operators, and choice
schools and will not be administered by
DPI. As such, districts and schools will be
responsible for the format and date of the
exam.
