California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) State & Federal Accountability

 Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Tests in Grades 3-8  English-language arts & Math  Computer based & Computer adaptive  Nationally-normed  Paper-based test in Grades 5 & 8  Science  State-normed  Ca Alternative Assessment (CAA)in grades 3-8  ELA, Math & Science for students with significant cognitive disabilities (FIELD TEST) CAASPP Components

 About 7 sessions of testing, min, similar to previous years  2 sessions each of computer adaptive testing in ELA and Math  Classroom activities in ELA and Math  2 sessions for the ELA performance task  1 session for the Math performance task  Untimed, students may take as long as they need to finish SBAC Window March 18 – May 29

 Network is strong  Outage created some delays  Number of devices sufficient, not ideal  Students were positive, low anxiety  More practice touch typing would help  More practice with online testing  County Survey will provide more information SBAC Experience

 Following the Spring 2015 testing, individual score reports will be sent home  Not comparable to previous testing system  Projections based on 2014 SBAC Field Test  In ELA, % will score proficient or above  In Math, % will score proficient or above SBAC Results

SBAC Results – Sample Score Report

 Ca State Board of Ed  suspended the Academic Performance Index (API) for at least two years  aiming for a shift to multiple measures likely to include items such as, English proficiency, attendance, suspension & drop out rates  Federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)  there will be no Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), Program Improvement (PI) status for schools and districts will not change  as part of Title III requirements, only the English learner portion of the Local Education Agency Plan (LEAP) will be revised (Board meeting ) State & Federal Accountability

North County Math Consortium (NCMC)

Jan. Professional Development More well received

 NCMC Implementation Survey results forthcoming  Curriculum Curators to complete units for grades K-5  Grades 6-8 utilizing CPM, scope & sequence to be determined  Summer PD focused on vertical articulation and scope & sequence with Dr. Phil Daro  October and January PD topics to be determined based on identified needs (likely differentiation, growth mindset, meeting the needs of all learners) NCMC Next Steps

 Placement for ninth grade students based on 7 th and 8 th grade Summative MARS scores with teachers recommendation considered for borderline scores  Course I is the placement for the vast majority of students by design, best for students  Course II is recommended for 9-14% of consortium students (11-19% of PSD students)  An additional acceleration point is available to students with additional course work while enrolled in Course III NCMC High School Placement
