Organizational Leadership

Levin and Elmore• Everyone needs to collaborate to

ensure that daily teaching and learning practices are the focus of the school

• All responsible for success• Principals and teachers are

fundamentally evaluators• Leaders responsible for cultural

changes – by displacing specific norms, structures, and processes by others

How will you create a culture in your schools of ALL students “college and career ready”?

Cognition

“AssessmentTriangle”

Evidence-Based Design Framework

Models of Cognition

• Describe how students acquire knowledge and develop competence in a particular area

• Reflect recent and credible scientific evidence of typical learning processes and informed experiences of expert teachers

• Describe typical learning progression toward competence, including milestones (benchmarks)

31

Observation Models

• A set of specifications for assessment tasks that will elicit illuminating responses from students

• The tasks or situations are linked to the cognitive model of learning and should prompt students to say, do, or create something that provides evidence to support inferences about students’ knowledge, skills, and cognitive processes

Interpretation

• Interpretations use the evidence from observations to make claims about what students understand and can do

• Claims– Frame a manageable number of learning goals

around which instruction can be organized– Guide the specification of appropriate evidence– Provides a basis for meaningful reporting to

different interested audiences

An Overview of SBAC’s Approach

Content Specifications …– Create a bridge between standards and assessment and,

ultimately, instruction

– Organize the standards around major constructs & big ideas

– Express what students should learn and be able to do

Each claim is described for assessment

• Rationale for each claim– Why is this learning goal important for College & Career

Readiness (CCR)?– What does the research say about learning in this area?

• What does ‘sufficient’ evidence look like?– What types of items/tasks?– What content/texts will be emphasized?

• What are some suggested reporting categories?

Summative Assessment Targets

• Indicate proposed prioritized content for the summative assessment- link CCSS to the kinds of items/tasks students will respond to

• Show how one or more (or parts) CCSS addresses the target – ‘bundles’ CCSS (examples on next slide)

– Standards or parts of standards that relate to same type of understanding & comparable rigor/DOK demands

– Several similar CCSS from different strands

The Assessment Challenge

How do we get from here...

...to here?

All studentsleave high

school college and career

ready

Common Core State

Standards specify K-12 expectations

for college and career

readiness...and what can an

assessment system do to help?

Next Generation Assessments

• More rigorous tests measuring student progress toward “college and career readiness”

• Have common, comparable scores across member states, and across consortia

• Provide achievement and growth information to help make better educational decisions and professional development opportunities

• Assess all students, except those with “significant cognitive disabilities”

• Administer online, with timely results• Use multiple measures

Assessment System Components

Summative Assessment (Computer Adaptive)• Assesses the full range of Common Core in English

language arts and mathematics for students in grades 3–8 and 11 (interim assessments can be used in grades 9 and 10)

• Measures current student achievement and growth across time, showing progress toward college and career readiness

• Can be given once or twice a year (mandatory testing window within the last 12 weeks of the instructional year)

•Includes a variety of question types: selected response, short constructed response, extended constructed response, technology enhanced, and performance tasks

Assessment System Components

Interim Assessment (Computer Adaptive)• Optional comprehensive and content-cluster

assessment to help identify specific needs of each student

• Can be administered throughout the year• Provides clear examples of expected performance on

Common Core standards• Includes a variety of question types: selected

response, short constructed response, extended constructed response, technology enhanced, and performance tasks

• Aligned to and reported on the same scale as the summative assessments

• Fully accessible for instruction and professional development

Assessment System Components

• Extended projects demonstrate real-world writing and analytical skills

• May include online research, group projects, presentations

• Require 1-2 class periods to complete

• Included in both interim and summative assessments

• Applicable in all grades being assessed

• Evaluated by teachers using consistent scoring rubrics

The use of performance measures has been foundto increase the intellectual challenge in classroomsand to support higher-quality teaching.

- Linda Darling-Hammond and Frank Adamson, Stanford University

Few initiatives are backed by evidence that they raise achievement. Formative assessment is one of the few approaches

proven to make a difference.- Stephanie Hirsh,

Learning Forward

Assessment System ComponentsFormative Assessment

Practices• Research-based, on-

demand tools and resources for teachers

• Aligned to Common Core, focused on increasing student learning and enabling differentiation of instruction

• Professional development materials include model units of instruction and publicly released assessment items, formative strategies

145

Definition:Assessment that takes place continuously during the course of teaching and learning to provide teachers and students with feedback to close the gap between current learning and desired goals.

Assessment Reform Group, 2002; Bell & Cowie, 2001; Black et al., 2003; Black & Wiliam, 1998; OECD, 2005; Sadler, 1989; Shepard, 2000)

Advantages of Formative Assessment

• Students learn faster• Teachers know what students

already know & adjust instruction

• Students aware of progress• Most powerful moderator in

student achievement• Works for at risk students

Formative Assessment Strategies

(Black, Wiliam,1998; Sadler, 1998; Stiggins, 2007;Heritage, 2007)• Pre-assessing students

• Sharing Learning goals with students

• Co-creating classroom discourse & questioning

• Rich & challenging tasks elicit student response

• Identifying gaps

Formative Assessment Strategies

(Black, Wiliam,1998; Sadler, 1998; Stiggins, 2007;Heritage, 2007)

• Providing feedback/how to improve

• Self-assessments• Peer- assessments• Opportunities to close the gap• Celebrations

Feedback

• Student Work

Feedback

Strategies

• Traffic Light feedback• Gallery Walk• Portfolio• Concept Map• Ticket out the door

What do students say

• Class discussion• Debate• Oral presentation• story/event telling• Agree/disagree• Choral reading• Think-Pair-Share• You’re the Judge• Ask a question• Make a Statement• Radio Show

• Small group talk• Play/drama• Reciting a

poem/speech• Panel discussion• Music• Interviews• Think aloud• Answer specific• Podcasts• Read aloud• Other____

Take a Three Minute Pulse

• After 10-15 discussion, reading, lecture• Reflect, discuss what they learned

using higher order thinking skills • Suggested questions: (Marzano)

– How does this information relate to you?– How does what we’ve just learned relate to..– How is what we just learned similar or different to– Identify one thing you knew and one thing that was

new to you…
