A SYSTEM of Science Assessments

}  Built on teaching and learning in classroom

}  Each component adds and elicits new evidence of students’ learning

}  Defensible evidence of student attainment of the standard – as the standard was intended – is generated

}  Supports different purposes/users/uses

December DAC Monthly Webcast provided an overview of the science system of assessments including DAC’s role.

Field Test Purpose

4

•  Psychometric analysis of item types •  Engage students with items •  Observe administration •  Prepare for operational assessment

High Schools P Arrival week of March 6 P Test Window upon arrival of

materials through week of March 27

P All students at Grade 11 P Return by March 31


Elementary/Middle Schools P Arrival week of March 6 P Test Window March 13-17 P All students at Grades 4 and 7 P Return by March 24

P All schools will be involved P Student combined booklet (no separate answer document) P No student performance levels generated

Materials – Science Field Test }  Regular and accommodated (large print) test materials will

arrive in the district week of March 6. }  Test materials arrive in the district packaged by school.

}  Student combined booklet

●  Students answer in the test booklet (not a separate student response booklet)

●  Pre-populated with student information

}  Test materials will include an overage: ●  School will receive 5% ●  District will receive 3%

Construction of Items

Forms – Science Field Test

8

•  Multiple (20) forms per grade level •  Clusters of items •  Transition between clusters

•  “Directions” page per cluster •  “Go On” •  No breaks

•  Two clusters per form


Cluster Format

9

•  Clusters contain multiple choice and extended response items •  Typically six multiple choice and two extended

response questions •  Multiple choice

•  Question will specify number of correct responses

•  Could have more than one correct answer •  Potentially have more than four choice

options, eight at most


Cluster Format (continued)

10

•  Extended Response •  Limited to no more than one page •  Response could be required in same box as

stimulus •  Stimulus could be on separate page •  To provide full page for student response •  Response pages can look very different from

K-PREP response space

Student Combined Booklet


Student Combined Booklet }  Correct pre-printed Student Combined Booklet ●  Use Student Combined Booklet as is. ●  Following instructions in TAM, grid Accommodations given

(large-print) }  Incorrect pre-printed Student Combined Booklet ●  Void the Student Combined Booklet. ●  Assign a new let Student Combined Book following gridding

instruction in the script portion of the TAM. ●  Enter correct information into IC.

}  No pre-printed Student Combined Booklet ●  Follow gridding instruction in the script portion of the TAM.

}  Any voided Student Combined Booklet must be returned to Pearson (excluding voided with bodily fluids)

14 KDE:OAA:DAS: js: 1/17/2017

Accommodated Materials – Science Field Test

15

•  Students with IEP, PSP and 504 plans may receive accommodations

•  Large-print available •  Visually impaired and hearing impaired students use

Form 1 •  Without audio and text reader,

•  Human readers are needed •  BACs may organize small student groups with only a

reader accommodation by form within the grade span •  Extended time (time and a half - up to 105 minutes,

double time – up to 140 minutes) •  Non-standard response template will be available


Extended Response Spaces

16

v  Answer boxes look very different v  Will have only ONE NSR template while book

has many different looks v  Labeled parts A, B and C can be moved up or

down based on student need v  Student may use NSR template created for

Science Field Test to type and graph paper for drawing as long as everything is taped inside the box

v  Be careful tape cannot cover the timing tracks

Scheduling – Science Field Test

18

•  Pre-test activities •  On day of testing, follow gridding instruction in the

script portion of the TAM. •  Test administration

•  Seventy minutes (70) maximum •  No break provided

•  Post-test survey •  Elementary and Middle – Four Questions •  High – Ten Questions •  Yes/No Answers and Agree/Disagree at high school •  Example: I understood what the questions on the test

were asking me to think about or do. KDE:OAA:DAS: js: 1/17/2017

Scheduling – Science Field Test

19

•  Testing date determined by individual school, all students take at same time within the school.

•  Makeup test sessions are optional. •  First Year English Language Learners attempt

four multiple choice items or one extended response item.

•  Foreign Exchange and students in Alternate Assessment program will not take part in Science Field Test.


Monitoring Visits– Science Field Test

20

OAA and OTL Staff •  Observations •  Collection of student time on testing data •  Questions about testing


Support Materials – Science Field Test

21

•  DAC/BAC Manual •  Test Administration Manuals (TAM) •  Calculators Optional


Inventory and Return of Materials }  Inventory materials as soon as possible upon

receipt. } Keep original boxes. } Original boxes will be used to return test materials. } Request additional materials if needed. }  Check district and school overage before placing an

additional order.

22

Note: Do not exchange test materials between schools in or out of the district in lieu of ordering additional materials.


Requesting Additional Materials

} PearsonAccess } Online orders must be submitted and

approved prior to 1:30 p.m. ET to be included in that day’s shipment.

} Requests for additional test materials can be made through March 24.

26

•  Provide snapshots of student learning/thinking/application (and models of quality 3-D tasks) of the science standards; teachers working collaboratively analyze students’ work to calibrate expectations and confer on instructional implications/next steps to promote learning



} One (1) task per grade K-12 from every district

} Before submitting ● Remove the student name ● Write the name of the district on the paper ● Write the name of the task on the paper ● Write the student's grade level on the paper
