B. LaRayne Brown – FY17 SAGE Data Review

Dr. Terry summarized the SAGE assessment process and tool. He explained how the

SAGE assessment is developed, its alignment with the Utah Core Standards, and how it

measures student progress and growth.

Mrs. Brown explained the SAGE system is designed to measure each student’s individual

progress in relation to state learning standards.

The state requires four types of assessments: Screening, Diagnostic, Progress

Monitoring, Outcome Based.

Formative assessments help to see how students are progressing. Summative

assessments help determine if the students are proficient.

Mrs. Brown reviewed common assessments used with students: KEEP, DRA, SAGE,

DIBELS, DLM, ACT, WIDA, and others.

Mrs. Brown explained how the state school grade system works and problems with the

system.

Mrs. Brown reviewed the Utah Data Gateway available to the public which provides

school level data for assessment trends.

Mrs. Brown reviewed the data available in the SAGE Portal and how the data can be used
