The Agenda Number of tests Timing of tests Aligned to which standards? Why the Archdiocese of Detroit
switched. Scoring
IRM DataManager Would I recommend switching?

Which Tests Have Been Dropped? Maps and Diagrams Reference Material Math has been revised
Number Sense & Operations Algebraic Patterns & Connections Data Analysis/Probability/Statistics Geometry Measurement. Sections are now considered “basic skills”
Timing is Everything! Timing for Forms A, B, C Timing for Form E

Why We Switched
NCEA ‘s National Standards and Benchmarks-21st Century Skills
We were using the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations and were switching to the CCSS
Wanted aligned Interims Have decided to use the Smarter
Balance Test in 2014
Our Results
Went paperless (Was that a transition!) Getting ready for the new test Interim formative tests Working toward Data Director Moving to computer adaptive testing Not everything went that well!

A word about Interims
Piloted in five schools Could give them three times Cost effective Scored by scanning
Only a few scanners worked Ended up doing them myself Downloaded tests and answer sheets by school Scoring not what expected
Would we Do this Again?
In a Word: YES, but with some conditions
Don’t assume all principals are ready Make sure the scoring center is ready to
provide what you need Demand professional development-don’t
let anyone tell you that “nothing has really changed”
