ELA LEAP 2025

Reporting Categories

Assessment Design The LEAP 2025 ELA assessments focus on an integrated approach to reading and writing that reflects instruction in an effective ELA classroom: careful, close reading of complex grade-level literary and informational texts a full range of texts from across the disciplines, including science, social studies, and the arts tasks that integrate key ELA skills by asking students to read texts, answer reading and vocabulary questions about the texts, and then write using evidence from what they have read questions worth answering, ordered in a way that builds meaning a focus on students citing evidence from texts when answering questions about a specific passage or when writing about a set of related passages a focus on words that matter most in texts, that are essential to understanding a particular text, and that include context that allows a student to determine literal and figurative meanings

LEAP 2025 Task Types All students will take the Research Simulation Task. The other task will be either the Literary Analysis Task, administered by itself, or the Narrative Writing Task and a passage set consisting of a literary or informational text and a set of selected-response questions about the text.

Research Simulation Task The Research Simulation Task mirrors the research process by presenting two-three texts on a given topic. Students answer a set of selected-response questions about the texts and then write an extended response about some aspect of the related texts.  

Literary Analysis Task The Literary Analysis Task provides students an opportunity to show their understanding of literature. It asks students to read two literary texts, answer a set of selected-response questions about the texts, and write an extended response that compares and/or explains key ideas or elements.  

Narrative Writing Task The Narrative Writing Task asks students to read a literary text, answer a set of selected-response questions about the text, and then create a narrative related to the text.

Science LEAP 2025

Assessment Design The spring 2018 field test will assess a student’s understanding of the LSS for Science, reflecting the multiple dimensions of the standards. The field tests include item sets, task sets, and discrete items. A scientific phenomenon provides the focus for the sets. Stimulus materials, related to the scientific phenomenon, provides context for and anchor both item sets and task sets (comprised of four to five questions). In addition to the information presented in the stimulus materials, the questions require students to bring in content knowledge from the course to demonstrate their understanding of science.
