Session 46

Today’s Topics
• The basis of the MI-Access assessments
• Instructional relevance of MI-Access
• Tools and questions
• Local example
3
MI-Access EGLCEs/EBs/EHSCEs and Assessments
• Instruction, curriculum, and assessment - promoting the greatest degree of independence possible
• Assessments built on assumption that state’s content standards will drive curriculum
• All students must have opportunities to access and learn the content standards – EGLCE/EB/EHSCE
4
MI-Access Assessments• A state level alternate assessment should:
– evaluate the concepts and procedures that students with disabilities need to effectively solve problems;
– present those problems within the real-world contexts of daily living, community experience, and employment; and
– cover the same knowledge and skills currently evaluated by the general state assessment (MEAP) albeit in somewhat different ways.
5
MI-Access Assessments
• Assessment item development:
– Wide variety of student academic skill in navigating and responding to the assessment
– Measuring knowledge of concepts as opposed to reading/writing skills (e.g., Mathematics)
– Universal design principles applied to reduce need for accommodations
6
MI-Access Functional Independence EGLCEs/EBs and Assessments
• Items presented in a real-world context
• Hands on materials (e.g. coins, clocks, etc.) may be used as long as nature of question or response elicited is unaffected
• Any necessary data, charts, and/or text are provided as part of the item
7
GLCEs & EGLCEs/EBs Mathematics
• Divided into Strands of Numbers and Operations, Algebra, Measurement, Geometry, and Data and Probability
• Subdivided into Topics/Domains, e.g., Count, Write, and Order Whole Numbers; Identify and Describe Shapes; Data Representation; Units and Systems of Measurement

P/SI EGLCE/EHSCE
• Explicitly measuring Mathematics
– Separate EGLCEs/EHSCEs for P and SI
– Linked to GLCE/HSCE (general education)
– Content Area Thread

P/SI Draft EGLCE/EB
• P/SI ELA and Mathematics Assessment Plan Writing Team (APWT)
• Reduced depth, breadth, and complexity
• Looking for the mathematics already present in instruction
–Context always considered

Example SI Link
GLCE - 4th Grade• N.FL.04.08 Add and subtract
whole numbers fluently.
SI EGLCE–Elementary• N.FL.e4.SI.EG08a
Demonstrate knowledge of basic addition and subtraction facts (single digits, no regrouping, and sums/differences less than ten). Use of manipulatives and/or calculator is permissible.
21
Example SI Link
GLCE - 7th Grade• D.RE.07.01 Represent and
interpret data using circle graphs, stem and leaf plots, histograms, and box-and-whisker plots, and select appropriate representation to address specific questions.
SI EGLCE–Middle School• D.RE.m7.SI.EG01b Read and interpret
pictographs with a scale of one.
22
Example P Link
GLCE – 4TH Grade
• N.ME.04.20 Understand fractions as parts of a set of objects.
P EGLCE - Elementary
• N.ME.e4.P.EG20aDifferentiate between a whole object and part of an object.
• Example: A whole puzzle
vs. one piece
23
Example P Link
HSCE-High School
• L1.2.4
Organize and summarize a data set in a table, plot, chart, or spreadsheet; find patterns in a display of data; understand and critique data displays in the media.
P EHSCE- High School• EHSCE.P.L1.2.4b Organize data by sorting
pictures or objects.Example: Using pictures of
self and classmates, differentiate between present/absent, male/female, or activity choices
24
Sample Items - SI
• EGLCE: D.RE.m7.SI.EG01c• ACTIVITY: The student will correctly identify the
location of a person to whom he/she will deliver a message or object. For example, the student could be directed, “Please take this note to Mrs. Smith. Where is her classroom?” The student may provide verbal directions or indicate the location on a map of the school.
• SCORING FOCUS: Identifying what data are needed to solve a problem
25
Sample Items - P
• EHSCE: EHSCE.P.A1.1.1a• ACTIVITY: The student will correctly indicate
which item is cold when present ed with 1 hot and 1 cold item while engaged in a familiar eating routine, such as lunch or snack time. For example, the student could be presented with a cup of ice water and a cup of hot soup and then be asked, “Which one is cold?”
• SCORING FOCUS: Differentiating between hot and cold

32
“Mining” the EGLCEs/EBs/EHSCEs
• Begin by discussing the fundamental meaning and content of the EGLCE/EB/EHSCE statement.
• Underline important key concepts.• Think about the meaning of each
concept—underlying knowledge/skills, concrete examples—and why it’s important.
33
“Mining” the EGLCEs/EBs/EHSCEs
Questions
• Do our students receive instruction on this concept?
• Where, when, and how?
– Performance Context
• If we don’t teach this now, how could we in the future?
34
“Mining” the EGLCEs/EBs/EHSCEs
Questions
• What types of IEP goals could we write to measure these concepts?
• Are our instructional materials covering these concepts adequately?
• What materials exist to help us figure this stuff out?
35
Using the EGLCEs/EBs/EHSCEs to Prepare for MI-Access
Questions
• How many EGLCEs/EBs/EHSCEs from each strand/topic/domain will be assessed?
• What will the items assessing these concepts look like?
• How will the items based on these concepts be scored and reported?
36

• You have State Assessment Data from LAST YEAR
• You have current year EGLCEs to guide your Curriculum for THIS YEAR (along with other assessments i.e., Brigance, Key Math etc).
• You know what will be assessed NEXT YEAR. This is a powerful tool to guide your curriculum AND to write Goals & Objectives.
Plan
58
• After reviewing classroom evaluation results, MI Access results from Fall 2006 and meeting with parents, annual Goal & Objectives are developed.
• It is clear that Molly Math Student needs improvement/development of skills in Problem Solving and Computation.
• More specifically, she has difficulty reading charts, tables, graphs and using/understanding data presented in this manner.
• What would the Goal Page look like?

(What would instruction look like? – Advanced Level)
MPSLook at simple bar chart/pie chart to determine more or less.Measure plants in Science and enter data in Microsoft Word table. Present information that explains growth (or lack of) according to a hypothesis (more or less sunlight, fertilizer added to soil, poor soil type etc.). This introduces students to charts and graphs, less – more.Draw pictures of lines representing number levels (students look across the grid at the number). The higher the line, the larger the number on the grid.Develop classroom surveys and make simple bar graphs to show more or less.
Strand III: Data Analysis and StatisticsContent Standard 1: Students collect and explore data, organize data into a useful form, and develop skill in presenting and reading data displayed in different formats. (Collection, Organization and Presentation of Data)

Look ahead at 7th Grade “Released Item”
MI-AccessDevelop classroom surveys and make simple bar graphs to show “more or less.”Ask students to survey peers about favorite pop, candy etc. They will develop a bar chart showing preference.Engage in math games and use “tally marks” to keep track of the score.Students will “tell” what the pie chart divisions or bar graphs of varying size means. Compare different categories of data by interpreting graphs/charts.
Strand III: Data Analysis and StatisticsContent Standard 2: Students examine data and describe characteristics of a distribution, relate data to the situation from which they arose, and use data to answer questions convincingly and persuasively. (Description and Interpretation)
