10. 10 What is Assessment?

11. 11 The Purpose of Assessment “Assessment is a process of collecting data for the purpose of making decisions about individuals or groups and this decision-making role is the reason that assessment touches so many people’s lives.” Salvia & Ysseldyke (2001)

12. 12 What is the Purpose for Assessment? To make instructional decisions

13. 13 Data to Verify From To Perception of an Issue Action What Makes Decision-Making Strategic? Data Driven Action Action Based on SWIS Perception of an Issue

15. 15 Characteristics of Assessment Functional (Effective, Useful)  Relevant  Direct  Multidimensional  Formative  Frequent, Repeated  Individually Focused  Technically Adequate

16. 16 When You Think “Assessment” What is the question that needs to be answered? What information do you intend to obtain from your assessment? What will you do to get the information? How will you use the information you got?

17. Phases of Collaborative Inquiry Collecting Data Analyzing Data Organizing Data-Driven Dialogue Framing the Question Drawing Conclusions, Taking Action Monitoring Results Love, N., 2002

18. 18 What Data Do We Use? Looking at Numbers Quantitative data (Numbers)  Defining the gap between expectations and current performance  Monitoring the progress and growth Move Beyond Numbers Qualitative data (Descriptions)  Developing a focus area or the cause of a concern  Defining the context  Examining the implications of decisions

33. 33 Using Assessment to Identify the Focus Area for Improvement

34. 34 Using Your Homework Select a “case” to use for the next session  Single student e.g., a gifted student  A specific group of students e.g., ELL  A classroom or grade level e.g., improving math instruction  A whole school e.g., lunchroom behavior  A whole district e.g., increasing time with non- disabled peers or a new science curriculum

35. 35 Identify the Focus Area for Improvement What is happening?  Frame a question in terms of the impact on student learning  Examine the context by collecting and analyzing data  Develop a hypothesis to define a central area of focus

36. 36 Remember… We Need to Develop a Question Frame a question in terms of the impact on student learning  Frames our thinking in terms of inquiry vs. judging  Aligns our thinking to student learning

37. 37 Use Your Case Examine the information you have about your case. What is the question you want to answer? Write your question on your worksheet.

38. 38 Examine the Context Examine the context by collecting and analyzing data  Determine when, where, how long, with whom, and under what conditions  Develop a rationale for the occurrence using data  Use evidence to explain what we see as reason for performance gaps

40. 40 Essential Questions to Analyze Curriculum What content standards does this address? What are the performance standards? What is the essential content? What is the level of expectation? How are the curricula standards and materials adapted to meet instructional level?

41. 41 Essential Questions to Analyze Environment How are expectations clearly communicated? What are the task directions? What are the opportunities for student choice? What are the physical influences on the learning? What are the social/interpersonal influences on the learning? How do the student and teacher collaborate in the learning process?

42. 42 Essential Questions to Analyze Instruction What is the amount of student engagement and relevant practice? Is there appropriate pacing? What teaching strategies are used? How are tasks organized for students? Is there an instructional match? How does the feedback support student learning?

43. 43 Essential Questions to Analyze Student Performance What does the student know? What can the student do? What are the student’s strengths? What are the student’s interests? What it the instructional level? What learning strategies does the student use? How does the student organize information and approach new learning? How does the student self-monitor? What are the patterns in errors?

44. 44 Essential Questions to Ask About Behavior When is the behavior most/least likely to occur? Where is the behavior most/least likely to occur? With whom is the behavior most/least likely to occur? What happens immediately before/after the behavior? What do others do when the behavior occurs? What other environmental conditions may contribute to the behavior?

49. 49 Use Your Case Examine the assessments you currently have about your case. What assessment data could tell you about…?  Curriculum  Environment  Instruction  Student(s)

50. 50 Using Protocols to Define the Focus Area of Improvement A Means to Collaboratively Analyze Assessments

51. 51 What are Protocols? Tools for analysis Structured dialogue Collaborative inquiry More than one perspective Reflective practice

52. 52 Centers Using the premise of your “case” select the most appropriate center  Descriptive Review  Initial Line of Inquiry Behavior Academic  SIOP

53. 53 A Sample Protocol for Examining Student Work Descriptive Review

54. 54 Descriptive Review What does it look like?  Examination of a student product (e.g. writing sample, math assignment, etc.)  Round Robin responses to selected questions (e.g. describe what you see?) When would we use it?  C Determining next curriculum area  E Connecting the context & student work  I Determining next steps for instruction  S Having a deeper analysis of student learning

55. 55 Descriptive Review What do you need?  Facilitator to run the process  Presenting teacher to provide the context of the student work & a focus for reflection  A Student work sample hard copy of the student work How does it work?  Follow articulated steps  Select key questions to ask for each round (one question per round)  Each member of the group provides one response to the question (Round robin fashion) (Can go around more than once for more responses)

56. 56 Descriptive Review Sample Timetable StepsTime Review of Process 5 minutes Setting the Tone15 minutes Work is Presented with Context 5 minutes Descriptive Rounds30 minutes Hearing from the Teacher10 minutes Reflecting 5 minutes

57. 57 Descriptive Review Review the Process  The facilitator provides the directions and timelines for the process. Setting the Tone  The group reviews the intention of the process. The group agrees to the reflective process.

58. 58 Descriptive Review Work is Presented/Context  Teacher puts the work out for the team to see and provides a brief introduction to the work. Descriptive Rounds  Selection of rounds is based on type of work and focus of reflection. Each round builds on the previous one, seeking to deepen an appreciation for the instruction, task, and student learning.

59. 59 Descriptive Review Hearing from the Teacher  Presenter has time to say what was heard. Reflecting  The group reflects on the process.  Each member highlights what was learned.

60. 60 Descriptions vs. Judgments Descriptions  See, Hear, Touch  Evidence based  Specific language Judgments  Inferences  Feelings  Assumptions Perceptions

61. 61 A Sample Protocol for Examining Behavior Initial Line of Inquiry

62. 62 Initial Line of Inquiry What does it look like?  Facilitated dialogue focused on behavior and the context around behavior  Structured responses to key questions using anecdotal and assessment data  Develops a hypothesis for the focus area of improvement When would we use it?  C Determining curriculum effects on behavior  E Connecting environmental conditions to behavior  I Determining instructional effects on behavior  S Having a deeper analysis of student behavior

63. 63 Initial Line of Inquiry What do you need?  Facilitator to run the process  Team of people who Know the student Know functional analysis  General observations  Observational Based Assessments  Overhead or chart paper How does it work?  Follow articulated steps and key questions  Record information on the format provided by protocol  Facilitate a collaborative dialogue about the meaning of the observations  Develop a hypothesis

64. 64 Behaviors Exist in Context Behaviors are context related Challenging behaviors result from unmet needs Effective supports come from an understanding of why a behavior occurs

65. 65 The Anatomy of a Behavior Event Automatic Thought Emotion/Feeling Behavior Response/Consequence

66. 66 The ABCs of Behavior A ntecedents B ehavior C onsequences

67. 67 ABC Chart TimeAntecedentBehaviorConsequence 9:05 Teacher gives class an independent writing assignment X looks out window Teacher prompts X to begin writing 9:10 Teacher prompts X to begin writing X picks up pen and scribbles on page Teacher walks away 9:17 Teacher prompts X to stop scribbling and begin writing X rips paper up and throws it on the floor Teacher tells X to go to office 9:18 Teacher tells X to go to office X stands up and goes to office X stays in office until next period

68. 68 The Format for Initial Line of Inquiry Strengths of Student: Slow Triggers (Setting Events) Fast Triggers (Antecedents) Problem Behavior Perceived Function Actual Consequence Pennsylvania Department of Education, Initial Line of Inquiry

69. 69 Consequences Consequence is the immediate natural response to a behavior  Undesirable outcome (not likely to occur again)  Desirable outcome (likely to occur again) Imposed consequences do not always yield the results we want

70. 70 What is the Function of Behavior? Avoidance  What is avoided with the behavior? Gains  What is gained or achieved with the behavior?

71. 71 Make a Statement About the Behavior Three parts include: When {antecedent/trigger} occurs, The {student(s)} do/does {behavior of concern}, In order to {perceived function}. Pennsylvania Department of Education, Initial Line of Inquiry

72. 72 Hypothesis Statement: When Jeff is given an independent writing assignment, he rips his paper up and throws it on the floor, in order to escape the writing task.

73. 73 A Sample Protocol for Examining Academic Performance Initial Line of Inquiry

74. 74 Initial Line of Inquiry What does it look like?  Facilitated dialogue focused on the context around academic achievement  Structured responses to key questions using assessment data  Develops a hypothesis for the focus area of improvement When would we use it?  C Determining curriculum effects on achievement  E Connecting environmental conditions to achievement  I Determining instructional effects on achievement  S Having a deeper analysis of student learning

75. 75 Initial Line of Inquiry What do you need?  Facilitator to run the process  Team of people who Know the student Know the curriculum & instruction  General observations  Curriculum Based Assessments  Overhead or chart paper How does it work?  Follow articulated steps and key questions  Record information on the format provided by protocol  Facilitate a collaborative dialogue about the meaning of the observations & assessments  Develop a hypothesis

76. 76 Learning Variables This protocol focuses on four learning variables: Curricular Instructional Student Performance Environmental

77. 77 The Format for Initial Line of Inquiry CurriculumInstructionStudent PerformanceEnvironment Pennsylvania Department of Education, Initial Line of Inquiry

78. 78 Three Part Hypothesis What variables (factors) block learning? How does the student learn? What strategies would support how the student learns? Pennsylvania Department of Education, Initial Line of Inquiry

79. 79 Hypothesis Statement When Jeff is given an independent writing assignment that requires at least five paragraphs in respond to a prompt, he writes simple detail sentences that lack a main idea or a central theme and therefore, Jeff needs to organize his writing of main idea and detail sentences under a central theme by using a structured graphic organizer, such as TOWER.

86. 86 Using Assessment to Develop an Hypothesis

87. 87 Develop a Hypothesis Develop a hypothesis to define a central focus  Examines the relationship among the context variables  Determines why this is

88. 88 Symptoms vs. Causes Symptoms Observable Details A list of separate concerns Causes Inferred from behaviors Underlying reason/function Determined by grouping and analyzing objective, observable evidence

89. 89 Symptoms vs. Causes Symptoms Lack of fluency Frequent word recognition errors  Errors tend to be visual Mispronounces words Frequent spelling errors Cause

90. 90 Symptoms vs. Causes Symptoms Does not complete work Frequently moves around the room during academic tasks Acts out during teacher directed lessons Cause

91. 91 Making a Statement About the Focus Area of Improvement When {condition or trigger} occurs, {the student, class, school, etc.} does {focus area}, in order to {perceived function}. When there is an indoor recess, the students in grade 4 talk loudly and get out of their seats during lunch, in order to release energy.

92. 92 So What Do We Want to Happen? The desired outcome is developed from changing the currently reality to a new one. Take a look at your hypothesis. What is it that you want to happen instead?

93. 93 Use Your Case Use your analysis to develop a hypothesis  When {condition or trigger} occurs, {the student, class, school, etc.} does {focus area}, in order to {perceived function}.

94. 94 Establishing Baseline and Developing Monitoring Systems Measuring Progress

95. 95 What Do These Words Mean? Always Occasionally Rarely Often Sometimes Frequently Usually A lot Never Once and a while Independently mark a percentage next to each word.

96. 96 What Do These Words Mean? Compare what you wrote with your table group. Record the range of percentages.

97. 97 What Do These Words Mean? Always Occasionally Rarely Often Sometimes Frequently Usually A lot Never Once and a while

98. 98 What Do These Words Mean? What do these ranges tell us about the way we generally describe what we see?

99. 99 Types of Vague Language Nouns/Pronouns and Verbs “My students don’t listen.” Comparators “I want my students to do better on their quizzes.” Rule Words “I have to give C’s to students who have modified work.” Universal Qualifiers “All of the parents are upset about the report card.” L. Lipton & B. Wellman, 2003

100. 100 Baseline

101. 101 Establish Baseline Establish baseline of current level of performance  Determine a starting point before anything is implemented  Determine what the student(s) currently know(s) and able to do

102. 102 Baseline Data Baseline data needs to align with the focus area.  Clearly define the focus Observable (can be seen or heard) Measurable (can be counted) Specific (clear terms, no room for a judgment call) It is always numbers.

103. 103 Which Ones Are Observable, Measurable, & Specific? Paying attention Aggressive behavior Out of seat Off task Throwing objects Homework completion Comprehension Spelling errors Phonemic awareness Math facts known Writing narrative Correct words per minute How would you change vague and non-measurable terms to be observable, measurable, and specific?

104. 104 Baseline Data A general rule of thumb is 3. Sensitive to small changes over time.

105. 105 Which Assessments Provide Quality Baseline? Holistic writing score Duration of a behavior or task Rubrics Grades Communication journal Frequency count of behavior or task Running record or DRA Anecdotal record Error analysis of student work ABC Chart

106. 106 Use Your Case Using the question and hypothesis you developed, develop a plan to establish baseline.  What will be assessed?  How?  By whom?  When?

107. 107 Setting Targets

108. 108 Determine the Gap Determine the specific gap between current and desired performance  Determine what needs to specifically change  Establish what the student needs to learn  Establish what conditions are needed to accelerate the learning

109. 109  Demands/ Skills Years in School  The Achievement Gaps KU-CRL Gap Baseline Expected Performance

110. 110 Set a Target Set a target for expected outcome and timeframe for accomplishment  Determine the grade level performance standard  Determine the rate of learning for most students in this area  Use the gap analysis to determine a reasonable target and a specific timeframe for this target to be achieved

111. 111 Using Benchmarks Break down the time to meet a given goal in shorter increments Set a performance mark for each benchmark Build each benchmark on the previous one-interval monitoring Use to articulate the rate of progress

112. 112 Demands/ Skills Time The Goal Line Expectations for All Students  Baseline/Current Level of Performance  Goal Student’s Projected Line of Growth Benchmark -4 weeksBenchmark -8 weeksBenchmark -6 weeks16 weeks

113. 113 Use Your Case Using your current information, discuss what is needed for you to develop a target goal and a set of benchmarks.  Do you have baseline?  Can you define the expected performance for all students?  Can you assess the gap? How will you get all this information?

114. 114 Writing a Desired Outcome Clearly define the outcome Observable (can be seen) Measurable (can be counted) Specific (clear terms, no room for a judgment call) May sometimes require smaller benchmarks When {condition} occurs, {the student} will {desired outcome} from {baseline} to {target} by {timeline}.

115. 115 Use Your Case Using your current information, develop a desired outcome. When {condition} occurs, {the student} will {desired outcome} from {baseline} to {target} by {timeline}. What are you missing to complete this sentence? When will you obtain this?

116. 116 Monitoring Systems

117. 117 Develop a Monitoring System Develop a monitoring system that aligns with the baseline data and a criterion for measuring the progress

118. 118 Monitoring vs. Evaluating Monitoring On-going and frequent Part of the implementation process Provide information for adjustments in plan Evaluating A specific point in time A review of the implementation process Provide information for decisions on next steps

119. 119 How Will We Monitor? Determine who will monitor the progress Determine the assessment process to use and connect it to the baseline Predetermine intervals for monitoring Determine a timeline for evaluation Daily Weekly

120. 120 Monitor the Progress Monitor the level and rate of progress of student learning  Monitor on a frequent basis (daily or weekly) Student progress Implementation Integrity  Check for rate of progress as it relates to the target goal line

121. 121 Demands/ Skills Time Charting Progress Expectations for All Students  Baseline/Current Level of Performance  Goal Student’s Current Progress

122. 122 Demands/ Skills Time Charting Progress Expectations for All Students  Baseline/Current Level of Performance  Goal Student’s Progress

123. 123 Documenting Student Progress Quantitative Information  Graphing progress (e.g., attendance, homework completion, correct words per minute, etc.)  Noting scores/levels and assessments used  Stating student growth in terms of numbers Qualitative Information  Narratives written in objective, observable language  Noting the analysis of scores and the context (curriculum, instruction, and environment)

124. 124 Tips for Documenting Student Progress Use the same assessment process and tools for baseline and monitoring Sensitive to small changes over time. Report the information in the same format (e.g. graphing). Align the assessment with the intervention (e.g. DRA, OBA). Monitor student progress on a frequent and regular basis in order to make quality judgments about the progress.

125. 125 Use Your Case Using your potential desired outcome, discuss a possible monitoring plan.  What will be assessed?  How?  By whom?  When? How frequently?  How does it relate to the baseline?

126. 126 Reflective Practice Our Cornerstone for Change

127. 127 Why Reflect? “If teachers are to become skilled at independently identifying and addressing idiosyncratic learning problems of their students, they must learn to reflect critically on student work as well as on their own teaching practices.” “Lifelines to the classroom: Designing support for beginning teachers”, by Kendyll Stansbury and Joy Zimmerman. Knowledge Brief, WestEd, 2000.

128. 128 Evaluate the Student Progress and Plan What changes occurred? Evaluate and analyze the overall progress by comparing the baseline data to the outcome data Examine the degree of implementation integrity of the plan Determine what changes occurred Use a decision guide to make adjustments and/or revisions to the plan

129. 129 What Reflective Educators Do? Commit to continuous improvement Assume responsibility of learning Demonstrate thinking skills for inquiry Take action that aligns with new understanding Reflective Practice to Improve Schools J. York-Barr, et.al.

130. 130 Reflection Cycle Collect Data From a Variety Of Sources Analyze Data Evaluate Student Learning Modify Practice Draw Conclusions About Impact of Teaching on Student Learning BEST Training 2001

131. 131 What Did We Change? Context of learning What we teach Outcomes of Learning How we teach S tudent(s) I nstruction E nvironment C urriculum Adapted from Heartland Area Education Agency

132. 132 Integrity Did we do what we said we would do? Reasons why we tend not to follow through:  Lack of defined or appropriate focus  Plan was not clearly defined or comprehensive to include appropriate strategies  The skill levels needed to implement the plan were not adequate  The right resources (time, money, personnel) were not supplied

133. 133 Measuring the Effectiveness of Implementation Did we achieve our goal for student outcomes? Did we do what we said we were going to do to promote student success? How do we know this?  Did we set a predetermined goal line?  Did we monitor student progress towards this goal line?  Did we examine why the goal was met or not met?

134. 134 Self-Reflection Dialogue how the protocol you used today will serve as reflective practice and as a means to ensure implementation integrity.  Descriptive Review  Initial Line of Inquiry  SIOP

135. 135 With Your Technical Assistant Reflect how today’s information influences the process you have developed thus far. Review the previous dialogue about your school’s /district’s use of collegial support and family partnerships. Examine the various ways of teaming and determine how collegial support and family partnerships could potentially look for your school/district.

136. 136 On Your Own… 1. Select a protocol and try it with a small group. 2. Review today’s case today and add any additional assessment data needed. Collect your baseline. Revise your hypothesis and desired outcome as needed. (I.e. complete the worksheet)

137. 137 Bring with You Next Time Bring your case back. (everything you brought today) Bring your baseline. Add any specific programs or strategies you are currently using to address this case. Be sure to bring the curriculum and sample lesson plans that relate to the focus.
