I just need to clarify. Giving my students the interim assessment in Caaspp is completely ok. It is not as giving them the Summative one that is reported to the state etc. ]]> 2022-07-18 16:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA071822/wish/2245526949 We noticed that the 3rd grade prompt gave explicit instructions about citing sources.

Students have to focus on reading and understand the reading in order to respond.  

Students need stamina to read and focus on both passages.  

Students should read the questions before reading the passages to maximize time (testing strategies).

Students need to be taught how to cite sources.

Wondered:  
Would this be more difficult for students with phonological challenges?

Are there different sources for students in Special Education?

Is there a time limit for the entire test?]]> 2022-07-18 17:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA071822/wish/2245533501 Anecdotal arguments were given against taking multivitamins, but no scientific evidence was provided for taking vitamins. https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA071822/wish/2245533835 2022-07-18 17:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA071822/wish/2245533835 wonderings michaelgarcia21 https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA071822/wish/2245534415 -length of responses?

We should give them graphic organizers or help them create graphic organizers during the practice/ interim assessments. https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA071822/wish/2245534592 2022-07-18 17:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA071822/wish/2245534592 Group 4 https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA071822/wish/2245534655 We noted that we need to backwards plan to support our students background knowledge in the different types of writing (narrative, opinion, informative). In this example, students need to know how to reference sources in order to answer appropriately. We also need to support our EL students in vocabulary as well as reading and writing.]]> 2022-07-18 17:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA071822/wish/2245534655 Group 8 https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA071822/wish/2245534681 We notice that students are needing to be able to identify the important information for the question, and we think that the highlighting tool will be very helpful for that on the actual tests. We notice that this would be a great tool for preparing the students for the state test and for incorporating questions like this in our lessons.

A way to scaffold this is to start with the Interim assessments and have the students work on it in collaborative/ expert groups and give them lots of time to practice and discuss.
