16. The SAGE test blueprints Available at http://ut.portal.airast.org/resources/?section=1

17. SAGE Mathematics Blueprint Available at http://ut.portal.airast.org/resources/?section=1

18. SAGE ELA/Literacy Blueprint Available at http://ut.portal.airast.org/resources/?section=1

19. SAGE Science Blueprint Available at http://ut.portal.airast.org/resources/?section=1

20. What is DOK listed in the blueprints? Depth of Knowledge (DOK) provides a vocabulary and a frame of reference when thinking about our students and how they engage with the core content. DOK offers a common language to understand "rigor," or cognitive demand, in assessments, as well as curricular units, lessons, and tasks. DOK levels grow in cognitive complexity and provide educators a lens on creating more cognitively engaging and challenging tasks. See DOK for each content area.

22. Depth of Knowledge – Math/Science See Handout

23. What are the SAGE technology requirements

24. 2014 SAGE Technology CSD STANDARD. Windows, Macintosh, or Chromebook computers purchased in the last FOUR years can be utilized for SAGE. iOS Devices. Schools interested in using iPADS will need written approval from Darren Draper by April 15 th. According to the State, all IPADS must have external keyboards. Headphones are required for the SAGE ELA test. Currently the Assessment Department is planning on purchasing inexpensive earbud headphones for each student. This district plan for headphones is subject to change.

25. Do we have a State grant for more technology to help with testing time and instruction? YES! HB 2 – Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) Funds

26. SAGE-Compatible Computer Labs We have enough grant money (H.B. 2 General Legislative Session 2013) to provide each school with one new Chromebook lab. To opt-in, schools need only to provide $1,350 for the cost of a Chromebook cart!

27. How to Opt-In To opt-in to the Chromebook lab Deal O’ the Year, please submit a journal entry: For $1,350 To 32 E 048 9932 4791 731 By November 1 st

28. Next Steps  SAGE information brochure for teachers  SAGE information brochure for parents  Chromebook purchase  SAGE information for Students with Disabilities
