ELA Assessment ClaimsELA Assessment ClaimsClaim 1: Students can read closely and

analytically to comprehend a range of increasingly complex literary and informational text.

Claim 2: Students can produce effective and well-grounded writing for a range of purposes and audiences.

Claim 3: Students can employ effective speaking and listening skills for a range of purposes and audiences.

Claim 4: Students can engage in research/inquiry to investigate topics, and to analyze, integrate, and present information.

ELA Target 2 for Claim 1ELA Target 2 for Claim 1Claim 1: Students can read closely and

analytically to comprehend a range of increasingly complex literary and informational text.

Target 2 for Claim 1 for Literary Text: 4TH GRADE: CENTRAL IDEAS: Identify or summarize

central ideas/ key events. (DOK 2).

8TH GRADE: CENTRAL IDEAS: Summarize central ideas/key events using key details from the text (DOK 2)

11TH GRADE: CENTRAL IDEAS: Summarize central ideas/key events using key relevant details (DOK 2)

Mathematics Assessment Mathematics Assessment ClaimsClaims

Claim 1: Concepts and Procedures◦ Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and interpret

and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency

Claim 2: Problem Solving◦ Students can solve a range of complex well-posed problems in pure and

applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies

Claim 3: Communicating Reasoning◦ Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to

support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others

Claim 4: Modeling and Data Analysis◦ Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can construct

and use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems

Claims explain how the students will be tested

All Standards are CriticalAll Standards are Critical

Major/Prioity work is to gain a strong foundation ◦Conceptual understanding

Key concepts – teacher gives access to concepts from a number of perspectives – so it is no longer a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures

◦High degree of procedural skills and fluency Class and home time for students to practice core functions – to

later apply to complex concepts/procedures◦Ability to apply math they know to solve problems inside

and outside the math classroom Apply math outside of the context – use math to make meaning

Take time to look over the Targets for Claim 1Reminder: Targets are an integration of standards
