Kansas College and Career Ready Academic Assessment OR Kansas - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Kansas College and Career Ready Academic Assessment OR Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) Results Fall 2015

See Breakdown doc on website

Performance Level Definitions • Level 1: Indicates that a student is not performing at grade-level standards, and additional supports are needed. • Level 2: Indicates that the student is doing grade- level work as defined by the standards but not at the depth or level of rigor to be considered on-track for college readiness. • Level 3: Indicates that the student is performing at academic expectations for that grade level and is on track to being college ready. • Level 4: Indicates that the student is performing above expectations for that grade level and is on track to being college ready.

New Vocabulary: Scaled Scores 220 is THE lowest any student can score and a 380 is THE highest any student can score

Noteworthy • October 1: Grayscale will be available for printing • October 12: Exit Records / Thorough Data Scrub ▫ Why? ▫ ALL future growth will be measured against Spring 2015 • Correction window closes October 31 st ▫ Trick or Treat?

Individual Student Results and Reports To see the full document, use the link titled “Student & School Report Samples from KSDE”

-Performance Level Bands will be changed before final versions are populated -Median (Middle) Score is KEY with these results -SE is Standard Error: Expected performance range if student repeated the assessment

Why Median? • The median is the middle value of the set when they are ordered by rank. If you had nine students taking an exam and the scores were: 91, 84, 56, 90, 70, 65, 90, 90, and 30, The median (middle) score is 84 • Diminishes outliers ▫ By comparison, the Mean is affected more significantly by outliers • More accurate ▫ The larger the sample (n) or the population (N), the more accurate the median is as a measure of central tendency • Food for Thought: ▫ School Median ▫ Student Growth Percentile = Growth AMO

-Strengths and Supports are aligned to Claims -Standard Error (SE) range is shown -Notice Claim 1 is alone and blue: There were enough items for that Claim to separate it from the others which may be represented as a strength -2, 3, and 4 are grouped given fewer total questions

Claims, Targets, and Evidence… You can view the Kansas Assessments website overview and Kansas Assessment Performance Level Descriptors link.

Big 3 • Content Emphases • Performance-level Descriptors (PLDs) • Item Specifications • http://www.ksassessments.org • Go to ELA Overview • Go to Math Overview

Stage Adaptivity: Spring of 2016 • Stages 1, 2, 3, and 4 ▫ Stage 1 – 25 fixed questions from mostly PLD 3 by grade level in ELA and Math ▫ Stage 2 – Performance on Stage 1 determines Stage 2 – 15 questions – Stay with mostly PLD 3 questions – Move up to mostly PLD 4 questions – Move down to mostly PLD 2 questions ▫ Stage 3 – Stage 1 and Stage 2 (Aggregate) determines Stage 3 – 15 questions – Mostly stay – Mostly up – Mostly down ▫ Random Field Test Block – A fourth stage, but not necessarily Stage 4.

Stage Adaptivity Continued • Stage 4 – PLD 4 Questions can go above grade level but are tied to a specific grade-level skill. • By law, questions will not go below grade level despite performance • “Salsa Analogy” – PLD 2, 3, or 4 ▫ 2 - Mild ▫ 3 - Medium ▫ 4 – Hot • Random Field Test Block ▫ Will occur for each student in Stage 2, 3, or 4 ▫ No one will know ▫ Does not factor into score ▫ Does not impact adaptivity
