SBAC PREPARATIONS
Data and AssessmentsDeveloping Benchmarks in ELA and Math
ELA and Math Common Core Curriculum Teams selected Benchmark test items - 2 constructed response type questions and the rest are selected response- 10-15 questions per grade level
Administer it online – every teacher in grades 2-10 will review data, score the constructed response and calibrate their scoring using rubrics through District release day
Benchmark Scoring DaysTeachers engage in the following during their training day:
Scoring Calibration Training – Teachers works in school teams and analyze sample student answers to constructed response questions using SBAC rubrics. Teachers calibrate their thinking as a team and come to consensus about the attributes that contributed to each student’s score. (90 minutes)
Teachers Score Student Responses - Teachers log in to EADMS and score their students’ responses to the constructed response questions. (Up to 90 minutes)
Team Planning Time – Teachers work in grade level teams to plan using ELA Common Core Units of Study or Math Modules. (Up to three hours)
Common Core Report Cards
Data Action team reviewed samples of CCSS report cards for elementary schools One sample was selected and modified SIS Coordinator is setting it up in PowerSchool Data Action Team will review and then send it out to
teachers for feedback
Report card will be online for use in Fall 2014
The Data Action Team decided to use GLOs (General Learner Outcomes) to assess students’ 21st Century Skills in addition to the Common Core Standards Self-Directed Learner Community Contributor Complex Thinker Quality Producer Effective Communicator Effective and Ethical User of Technology
