New Hampshire’s Commitment: Find Access to Rigorous Content for ALL Students. New Hampshire’s Commitment: Find Access to Rigorous Content for ALL Students. General Assessment “1%” ? ???

New Hampshire’s Commitment: What are we assessing ? The State Content Standards – the same for ALL. Structured Learning Progressions To illustrate, map, and describe patterns of learning To chart and track individual student progress To inform instructional decisions

New Hampshire’s Commitment: What Have we Learned? New Hampshire’s Commitment: What Have we Learned? We NEED Access-Based Definitions of the Standards – the CONSTRUCTS we are trying to measure! Teachers need to know... Students need to know... And Item developers urgently need to know...

New Hampshire’s Commitment: What Have we Learned? New Hampshire’s Commitment: What Have we Learned? What are the representational boundaries of the constructs we are testing? When is performance no longer within the intended construct? How does skill acquisition change based on sensory processing need? Alternate learning pathways?...progressions?

New Hampshire’s Commitment: What Have we Learned? New Hampshire’s Commitment: What Have we Learned? What is reading if you cannot see? How do we know if you are literate in Braille or Nemeth, or in using Tactile Graphics? What exactly counts as “text”? What is writing if you have no arms? When is speech to text ok?.... And when is it not ok What is speaking if you have no voice? What is listening if you cannot hear? How do we know if you are literate in Sign?

Access by Design 3 Tiers, over time, progressing toward 1

New Hampshire’s Challenge: What Have we Learned? New Hampshire’s Challenge: What Have we Learned? Are we ready? Do we have the will to do what it will take to achieve fair and meaningful access to rigorous content for all from the beginning...by design?
