ISAT-Alt and I-PASS (Individual Portfolio Artifact Submission System)

Idaho’s GSEG GRANT IMPLEMENTATION

Utilized Federal Department of Education grant funds

The ISAT-Alt was developed in response to a federal peer review

First in Nation Digital ePortfolio for Alternate Assessment

Behavior Imaging Solutions in Boise Idaho – Co-created I-PASS w SDE IT and Assessment Divisions

Internet Based HEPPA and FERPA secure data management

Teachers upload - Video, Digital Photo, Scanned, Faxed & Saved student evidence of learning of the extended content objectives assessed.

I-PASS ePortfolios-Customized Student’s Assessment Needs – Content Area Folders - Evidence of Learning (ECO) Extended Content Area Objectives

ISAT-Alt Submission, Rangefinding, Scoring and Standards Setting accomplished online

I-PASS Media Gallery and libraries contain classroom data, assessment materials, as well as online training videos

Developed during the Summer and Fall of 2009 culminating with the launch of I-PASS upload of ISAT-Alt artifacts during May and June of 2010.

Enhanced Student Data Management

Capacity Improved Handles Large Volumes of Data – Eliminated the alternative which was the submission of 6,000 paper based content area portfolios saving on shipping, handling and contracted scoring.

Digital Process Eliminates Paper

Administrative Monitoring of all processes – custom permission levels for Admins (local, district and state)

Improved Secure Online Individual, District and State Reporting –

$$ & Time Savings –Reduced Costs of Alternate Assessment by at least 1/2

Guidelines and Procedures Page 7

Overview of the ISAT- Alt

Idaho State Department of Education and the State Board of Education

Single Statewide Assessment System for all Idaho public schools and all students

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997 (IDEA-97) - mandated that every student with a disability participates in statewide and local assessments with or without accommodations or on an alternate assessment.

No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) - requires statewide assessment of all students in grades 3-8 and at least one high school grade annually in: Reading, Language Usage, and Mathematics.

The ISAT and ISAT-Alt grades 3-10 in Mathematics, Reading and Language Usage grades 5, 7, and 10 Science

Participation of Students from Other States Attending Special Placement Schools in Idaho

Content Standards – The Foundation of Assessment

Page 16

Idaho Extended Content Standards - grade-level specific - clear link to general education curriculum (i.e., the Idaho Content Standards)

Links academic instruction and learning to grade level content through extended standards

Content reduced in complexity or modified through the extended content standards

Based on grade-level academic skills

Achievement standards (Standards Assessed) reflect different expectation for proficiency

Combination of extended grade-level content standards and alternate achievement standards

Promotes access to general education curriculum

Based on individual learning needs and capabilities

How to Read the Asssessed Extended Content Standard Tables

Pages 16 & 17

Reading Example

Who Administers the ISAT-Alt and Collects the Assessment Artifacts?

Page 19

Assessment Task Administrators Include;

General education teacher - teaching content

Special education teacher - teaching content

Speech and Language Pathologist - using content

Paraprofessional - under the supervision of a certified teacher

Note – Paraprofessionals may also assist by uploading the data into I-PASS through assigned temporary password.

ISAT-Alt Summary of Elements & Portfolio Contents

Pages 20-22

Items NOT Scoreable or Acceptable as Artifacts for Submission

Page 22

Items NOT Scoreable or Acceptable as Artifacts for Submission:

Evidence (Artifacts) (data sheets, documents, video or photos) that have any visible identifying information such as student first and last name, school, or school district)

Checklists (except for sight words)

Data sheets (except for sight words)

Single photograph of the student performing the work on the objective without evidence of student work or description of the task.

Narrative descriptions of the student demonstrating the objective without actual evidence of student work

Any entry that does not contain all of the required components and data

Blank sheet of paper

Statement student is unable to perform the task

ISAT-Alt Scoring Participation TableISAT-Alt Scoring Participation Table

Scoring of PortfoliosAccuracy

Page 23

Each entry in the student’s portfolio will be scored on three dimensions:

Level of AccuracyLevel of IndependenceLevel of Complexity

A summary of the levels for each scoring dimension is shown on the next slides.

Scoring process starts at the teacher level.

Two entries for each assessed objective.

Teacher provides scores on each dimension for each entry in the portfolio including;Complexity, Independence & Accuracy. Teacher scores are entered into I-PASS via drop down menus.

Final scores are assigned to portfolio online by 2 trained scorers.

If 2 scores are within one point(adjacent) scores are recorded.

If 2 scores vary by more than one point portfolio is directed to a third scorer.

I-PASS system records the highest of the 2 scored entries as the final score

Accommodations Page 25

IEP Team Decision – Use Accommodations Guidelines Excel found online on ITC

Accommodations MUST be designated and used in both instruction and prior to assessment

(not just on the assessment)

Accommodations are NOT consistent across all assessments so should be designated individually for each assessment

Assistive Technology – Must be “considered” annually

Accommodations Guidelines Excel http://itcnew.idahotc.com/dnn/iaa/AADocuments.aspx

Assistive Technology Page 25

According to IDEA regulations, all accommodations necessary to facilitate participation in state mandated assessment must be provided and assistive technology considered during the annual IEP meeting.Resources for Teachers
