We test at Fall, Winter and Spring. The report will predict growth of student and predict performance on our summative end of year assessment: SBAC]]> 2021-11-05 18:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870601178 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870611864 Example: ORF: Oral Reading Fluency
NWEA Fluency test

 A small group of selected students read a short story at their reading level to teacher and teacher assess WCPM and notes prosody and comprehension. This is done weekly to help teacher plan for  instruction for following week. The rest of the class takes the NWEA fluency test to determine WCPM and assist in instruction to improve reading fluency.]]> 2021-11-05 18:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870611864 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870629401 Example: iReady

K-6th grade classes are required to have students complete 40 minutes of weekly iReady time. Every 4 weeks a Progress Monitoring assessment automatically comes up when they log into iReady. This data is discussed, analyzed and evaluated by teachers in weekly PLC meetings.]]> 2021-11-05 18:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870629401 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870650895 Example: SBAC ( Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium)

This test is aligned to the Academic Content Standards and is given every spring. The tests adjusts to the students academic knowledge of standards and determines if they meet grade level criteria by levels 1 -4, 4 being advanced.]]> 2021-11-05 18:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870650895 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870660901 Example: iReady monitoring progress
 
This could be placed in For learning as well but I have placed it  in As.  I feel the student is given access to reports to determine how they are learning and what they can do to better understand how they are learning, what works for them and what tools can they use to improve academically.]]> 2021-11-05 18:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870660901 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870667365 Example: Nonsense word assessment

Each week I give this timed assessment to my tier 3 students to determine their phonics level and understanding. I adjust my lessons for the next week to help build strong phonemic awareness.]]> 2021-11-05 18:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870667365 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870674853 Example: Switch it

Students use the white board or vocabulary word folder to change words by listening to the sound change. As the Interventionist, I work with small groups from each classroom at our school. This formative assessment helps me determine each students level of understanding of phonics.]]> 2021-11-05 18:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870674853 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870684863 Example: SBAC and WIDA

These 2 tests determine our standing in the district and there are good and bad consequences if we do not meet the norm. Our school rating( star), teacher evaluation, and need for assistants by state is determined by these assessments. Our WIDA results showed 65 % growth so as the WIDA manager for our school, I'm happy but now I have to set goals to beat that percentage. High stakes and stress are definitely connected.]]> 2021-11-05 19:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870684863 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870693053 Example: Word Games

I use these when I sense students need to have a change in the environment. They usually stand and swat words with literacy paddles ( fly swatters) or play spot it with site words. I'm assessing but it is not planned. I still use this data to plan instruction.]]> 2021-11-05 19:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870693053 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870710579 Example: Performance test for ELA units from Wonders

When teachers complete a unit, there is a unit test that is given to see if the standards covered were successfully understood and students can demonstrate that understanding. Teachers may have to adjust instruction if those standards weren't meant.]]> 2021-11-05 19:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870710579 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870715222 Example: iReady 

Every 4 weeks the progress monitoring diagnostic assessment is automatically given. This determines the scale score and the data provided is charted and discussed in PLC meetings.]]> 2021-11-05 19:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870715222 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870730811 Example: SBAC and WIDA

To me, just the fact that the definition of large scale uses OF  in the sentence "... large number of students across the district and state." is definitely and explanation of the term large scale. These high stake tests are known throughout state and country.

This standardized test is designed to compare and rank test takers in relation to one another usually by selected group; grade level or age group. As mentioned earlier this high stake's test measures the proficiency of student in comparison to others at their level.]]> 2021-11-05 19:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870751041 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870760969 Example: Wonders: adopted ELA program for district

At the end of each unit a performance test is given to check understanding of standards covered in that unit. The student is expected to demonstrate knowledge of these standards by completing an assignment that will implement understanding of given standards. The unit has a rubric that is used to determine level of understanding.]]> 2021-11-05 20:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870760969 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870773610 Example: NWEA Maps

This assessment is given 3 times a year and the data is used to group students according to need in each classroom. RBG3 mandates intervention if the percentage falls below 41%. Each teacher has access to the data and works with interventionist specialist to plan individualized interventions to improve score. ]]> 2021-11-05 20:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870773610 smiller280 https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870792780 Examples: SBAC, WIDA, NWEA, iReady, Wonders, 

Evidence of learning is gathered at designated times as mentioned earlier. SBAC and WIDA is once a year. NWEA is three times a year and iReady is monthly and Wonders is set by district when performance task is due.]]> 2021-11-05 20:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller280/29jy7ru8id0eprxv/wish/1870792780
