Key Differences

• Schools will only be graded on the components for which they have 10 students– Schools that don’t have enough data for one or more

components will still receive a grade• Learning Gains require students– scoring below grade level to grow toward grade level – already at grade level to progress beyond grade level

10

Key Differences

• English Language Arts– Grades 6-8– Includes Writing

• ELL students included after 2 years • NO participation points for Acceleration • NO extra weighting or penalties• Grade on percentage of total points earned

11

Assessment: Improving Student Achievement

• Develop Essential Questions• Review Assessment Data– Fall, Winter Diagnostic– FSQs, Semester Exams, other

• Review Teaching and Learning– Alignment and Rigor– Student Work and Teacher Feedback

• School-Based Action Plan for Improving Achievement

12

Essential QuestionsAssessment Data

• Which standards have/have not been instructed?• How does our overall performance compare to the

District?• Standards where students perform best? • Standards where weaknesses are evident?• How are different groups performing by standard? • How can we group students by needs?• Are there specific gaps in skills for a group of students?

13

Essential QuestionsTeaching and Learning

• To what extent do teachers understand, teach to, and assess the standards at a consistent and appropriate level of rigor?

• Are standards, assessment, and instruction aligned?• Are specific reading and math interventions

improving literacy skills for selected students?• What instructional strategies appear to be effective?• By what criteria are we evaluating student work?• To what extent do all teachers and students receive

the ongoing assistance they may need?

CURRICULUMRESOURCES AND SUPPORT

Secondary Literacy

Language Standards• According to FSA test item specification, Language Arts Florida

Standards (LAFS) Language standards 1.1 and 1.2 will be addressed by Editing Task questions.

• Each grade level’s Language standards 1.1. and 1.2 delineate specific points of grammar, capitalization, and punctuation that should be instructional foci.

• Teachers should be familiar with their grade-level-specific Language foci in order to best prepare students for Editing Task questions on the FSA.

Language Standards• L.1.1 - Demonstrate command of the conventions of

standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking. – 6th Grade – Pronoun usage– 7th Grade – Using phrases and clauses to build simple and

complex sentences– 8th Grade – Verb usage– 9th-10th Grade – Using phrases and clauses to create a

variety of sentence structures– 11th-12th Grade – Changes in language usage over

time/Points of language usage that can be contested

Language Standards• L.1.2 - Demonstrate command of the conventions of

standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.– 6th Grade – Using punctuation (commas, parentheses,

dashes) to set off parenthetical elements– 7th Grade – Using a comma to separate coordinate adjective– 8th Grade – Using punctuation (comma, ellipsis, dash) to

indicate a pause or break; using an ellipsis to indicate an omission

– 9th-10th Grade – Using a semicolon to link independent clauses; using a colon to introduce a list or quotation

– 11th-12th Grade – Using hyphenation correctly

Language Standards Diagnostic Data6th Grade 7th Grade

8th Grade 9th Grade

10th Grade 11th Grade

Bundling Standards Based on Diagnostic Data

• The LAFS are much broader in scope and overlap more frequently than the NGSSS.

• Analyzing Winter Diagnostic ELA results requires looking for performance trends, not individual standards where students performed poorly.

• Performance trends can be used to guide pre-FSA instruction.

8th Grade Diagnostic Data – Item Analysis Report

Bundling Standards Based on Diagnostic Data

LAFS.8.RI.3.8 – Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is sound and the evidence is relevant and sufficient; recognize when irrelevant evidence is introduced

LAFS.8.RI.2.6 - Determine an author’s point of view or purpose in a text and analyze how the author acknowledges and responds to conflicting evidence or viewpoints.

These two standards may not appear to be directly related at first glance, but a quick look at the questions related to these standards (#s 13, 16, 17, and 19 on the 8th Grade Reading Diagnostic) shows that they all deal with students ability to recognize and analyze the author’s use of persuasive and argumentative writing.

Bundling Standards Based on Diagnostic Data

• By identifying “bundles” of standards that students appear to struggle with based on Diagnostic data, a school can build a pre-FSA focus calendar.

• A new “bundle” of standards can be the focus of literacy instruction for each one or two-week period leading up to the FSA.

• By “bundling” the standards, rather than addressing them in isolation, a school can more effectively address the broad skill weaknesses of its students and make use of varied instructional materials to build deeper mastery of those skills.

Pre-Assessment Resources

FSA Training Tests• Students need to be exposed to the format of the FSA ELA Reading

assessment, particularly technology-enhanced items (TEIs).• The training tests provided by FLDOE are still the best resource we have

to simulate the format (if not the content) of the FSA ELA Reading assessment.

• Path to access:– www.fsassessments.org– Click “Educators” on left-hand side of page– Click “Training Tests”– Click “Take the Training Test”– Leave Username, First Name, and Session ID as “Guest”– Click “Sign In”– Select a grade level and click “Yes”– Click “Start ELA Reading Training Test”– Click “Select”– Click “Yes, Start My Test”– Click the sound ( ) icon and click “Yes” if you hear the sound.– Click “Begin Test Now”

HMH ExamView Banks• HMH provides ExamView banks of text questions for each

collection in each grade level. Questions are available for each selection within each collection, and there are also “fresh-read” questions available.

• Tests can be built to focus on specific standards.• Path to access:

– Teachers should already have an ExamView Test Generator icon on their desktops.

– Once this program is opened, click “Create a new test from scratch”– Title your test– Use the buttons at the right of the toolbar to add questions to your

test– The button allows you to select questions by standard– Selection Assessments provide test items for selections included

within the Collections. Collection Assessments provide test items associated with fresh reads.

HMH ExamView Banks Screen Shot – Building Assessments by Standard

Close Reading Tutorial Lessons• The Secondary Literacy team has put together a series of close

reading tutorial lessons to assist students in approaching various text types.

• These tutorial lessons are accessible via Learning Village. They are posted on the landing pages for middle and high school reading and English under “Additional Resources.”

Read 180 Reading for Differentiated Instruction (RDI) Book 4

• The Read 180 Interactive Teaching System (ITS) provides access to RDI Book 4 electronically. This book specifically focuses on assessment strategies and practice.

• Lessons within RDI Book 4 each focus on a particular standard/skill and include 3 practice tests at varying reading levels so that they are accessible to students at varying degrees of proficiency.

• Path to access:– Log in to ITS at https://samconnect.scholastic.com/auth/pages/Login

using your District-provided username and password.– RDI Book 4 will appear in the “My Library” tab. Click on the cover of

the book to access.– Each lesson contains reading and test-taking strategies to review with

students.– Assessment pages from the book can be printed for student use.

ELA Formative Assessment System• The Florida Department of Education has developed a series of

“Formative Assessments” for grades K-8 in order to assist in teaching the LAFS.

• These formative assessments can be accessed through the State's single-sign on at www.fldoe.org/sso.

• While they are titled formative assessments, the resources on ELFAS really read more like lesson plans and are meant to be used in "bundles" that address several related benchmarks.

• These formative assessments DO NOT mirror FSA question format.

• The ELFAS assessments might be useful as an additional resources for tutorials.

• The Department of Secondary Education recommends that they not be used to replace the instructional materials in ELA or Intensive Reading classes.

Monitor Read 180 and Reading Plus Usage

• Intensive Reading students should be using the Read 180 (middle school) or Reading Plus (high school) online programs consistently as part of their class rotations in order to ensure optimal reading growth.

• Your Read 180 Leadership Dashboard provides class by class usage details.

• Read 180 usage expectations:

Test Administration Procedures for 2014-15

• To report industry certifications, the following procedures must be followed for all written examinations:– Exam is not proctored by the individual providing the direct instruction for the

industry certification or certificate, except under extremely limited conditions.• If only one individual is approved by the certifying agency as a proctor, the

teacher may proctor the exams and must be independently monitored by a second individual who does not provide direct instruction for the industry certification content to the individuals taking the test(s).

– Exam questions are delivered in a secure manner and paper-based tests are not available to the proctor for an extended period of time.

– Exam is scored by certifying agency (cannot be scored by anyone at the district).

– Exam is administered in accordance with the certifying agency procedures.– Exam must not have administered more than 3 times during the academic

year with a minimum of 30 days between test administrations.
