1 MAP™ for Primary Grades
Northwest Evaluation Association Materials: None Reports: None Key Concepts: To introduce the MAP™ for Primary Grades Supplementary Component Talking Points: Invite the District Leadership Team to make opening remarks Activity: None Facilitator Notes: If participants for this module have been present for the entire training day, please hide the following slides, which will be redundant: Slide 8: Rasch unIT (RIT) Scale Slide 9: RIT Scale Slide 10: Addressing Classroom Diversity: Survey w/ Goals Tests MAP for Primary Grades (Supplementary Component) Revised 7/2008 © 2008 Northwest Evaluation Association

2 Measuring Academic Growth
Survey w/ Goals Tests (adaptive tests) Take into account students’ starting points Assess progress as well as proficiency Materials: None Reports: None Key Concepts: To consider the benefits of using a growth measure in academics Talking Points: The adaptive tests in the MAP for Primary Grades assessment system allow us to consider student starting points in the content and skills we teach and measure academic growth in those areas over time. Measuring student growth gives us another important way to evaluating our instructional programs and practices. Activity: Table Discussion (10 minutes) Purpose – to engage participants in thinking about growth data. Have participants discuss at their tables how having a growth measure might change conversations you have with parents and students throughout the year and contribute to what you share with other teachers. How will having a growth measure add to the things you discussed in the last activity? Debrief by having each group share one point they discussed in table groups.

3 Tiered Assessment System
Screening Tests (diagnostic tests) Assess basic letter/number skills Skills Checklist Tests (diagnostic tests) Assess developing literacy/numeracy skills Survey w/ Goals Tests (adaptive tests) Measures growth in reading and mathematics skills Materials: Guidelines for Placing Students handout Reports: None Key Concepts: To explain that MAP for Primary Grades is a tiered system with three distinct levels of assessment Talking Points: We’re using the A, B, and C blocks on the screen to symbolize the three tiers. When you see the blocks, it will signify that we are looking at information pertinent to one of the tiers as indicated on the slide. The tiers in this system need not be taken in order. Teachers may determine at which tier students will begin testing based upon: Knowledge of student Input of parents Screening or Skills Checklist Test data Other assessment information District’s intended uses/requirements Activity: None Facilitator Notes: None M MAP for Primary Grades (Supplementary Component) Revised 7/2008 © 2008 Northwest Evaluation Association

4 Early Literacy Screening and Early Numeracy Screening Tests
Test types Reading: Letter Recognition, Sounds, Concepts of Print Mathematics: Concepts of Number Diagnostic tests Assesses foundational skills of letters and numbers Measures discrete essential skills Guides instruction Takes place of most typical one-on-one testing Audience: Pre-kindergarten, kindergarten Test intervals: repeat as often as needed Materials: Guidelines for Placing Students handout Reports: None Key Concepts: To explain uses for MAP for Primary Grades Early Literacy Screening and Early Numeracy Screening tests Talking Points: These tests can replace many of the one-on-one assessments typically done in primary grades classrooms. Tests will measure the foundational skills of letter and number understanding. Provides documentation of attainment of foundational skills. Typically these tests should be the first tests given to pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and some first and second graders. These tests are not adaptive, but will randomize order of items presented. These tests may be given as often as needed throughout the school year. There is a Reading Early Literacy Screening test and a Mathematics Early Numeracy Screening test. Results may be used to help guide instruction for individual students as well as for informing whole group instruction.

5 Reading Skills Checklist Tests
Ten Reading tests (diagnostic tests) Assesses building blocks to basic literacy Measures discrete essential skills Guides instruction Takes the place of typical one-on-one testing Audience: kindergarten, first grade Testing interval: repeat as often as needed Multiple reading goals measured Materials: Guidelines for Placing Students handout Reports: None Key Concepts: To review uses for MAP for Primary Grades Skills Checklist Tests Talking Points: These tests can replace much of the time teachers spend with one-on-one testing. Tests do not need to be given in any order, nor do students need to take all tests. These tests provide documentation of attainment of foundational skills. They assess beyond the skills tested with the Early Literacy Screening Test. There are ten individual skills tests in the Reading Skills Checklist test series which assess skills related to: Consonant blends and digraphs Decoding multi-syllable words Decoding patterns and word families Letter identification Manipulation of sounds Matching letters to sounds Phoneme identification Phonological awareness Syllable types (CVC, CVCe, R-controlled) Vowel digraphs and diphthongs These tests are not adaptive, but items will be presented in randomized order. Skills Checklist Tests are recommended for all students who have been successful on the Early Literacy Screening test. Some pre-kindergarten students may begin with this test and they may be useful for intervention with some grade 2+ students. These tests may be given as often as needed throughout the school year. Teachers will use the results for informing instruction and diagnosing needs for intervention.

6 Mathematics Skills Checklist Tests
28 Mathematics tests (diagnostic tests) Assesses basic concepts in mathematics Measures discrete essential skills Guides instruction Takes the place of typical one-on-one testing Audience: kindergarten, first grade, and second grade Testing Interval: repeat as often as needed Two mathematics goal areas measured Computation – 15 tests Number sense – 13 tests Materials: Guidelines for Placing Students handout Reports: None Key Concepts: To review uses for MAP for Primary Grades Skills Checklist Tests Talking Points: These tests can replace much of the time teachers spend with one-on-one testing. Tests do not need to be given in any order, nor do students need to take all tests. These tests provide documentation of attainment of foundational skills. They assess beyond the skills tested with the Early Numeracy Screening Test. There are 28 individual skills tests in the Mathematics Skills Checklist test series which assess skills related to number sense and computation. These tests are not adaptive, but items will be presented in randomized order. Skills Checklist Tests are recommended for all students who have been successful on the Early Numeracy Screening Test. Some pre-kindergarten students may begin with this test and they may be useful for intervention with some grade 2+ students. These tests may be given as often as needed throughout the school year. Teachers will use the results for informing instruction and diagnosing needs for intervention.

7 Survey w/ Goals Tests Audience Scores Intervals for testing
K -1 students successful with other tests in the system Grade 2 students; intervention screening in grades 3 and 4 Scores RIT score for each test Intervals for testing Three times per year During district testing windows Primary Grades Instructional Data Learning statements organized by RIT level (Future) aligned to state goal structures Materials: Guidelines for Placing Students handout Reports: None Key Concepts: To review uses for MAP for Primary Grades Survey w/ Goals Tests Talking Points: Four Survey w/ Goals Tests are available; two Reading and two Mathematics tests. These tests will provide an overall content RIT score as well as goal RIT ranges. Survey w/ Goals Tests are adaptive and are similar to MAP tests for other grades. The goal performance areas for these tests will be different from the regular MAP tests for other grades. These goals align with the Primary Grades Instructional Data document (similar to DesCartes). Students may take both tests in content area; decision based on teacher/student needs. Tests are delivered like regular MAP tests; however they include audio and enhanced items in addition to the multiple choice format. RIT Scale Norms for Early Primary Grades can be accessed from the MAP for Primary Grades support page.

8 Reading Survey w/ Goals Tests
One Reading Survey w/ Goals Test measures: Phonological Awareness Phonics Concepts of Print The other Survey w/ Goals Test measures: Vocabulary and Word Structure Comprehension Writing Materials: Guidelines for Placing Students handout Reports: None Key Concepts: To understand the Reading Survey w/ Goals Tests and what they measure Talking Points: One Reading Survey w/ Goals Test assesses the goals of Phonological Awareness; Phonics; Concepts of Print The other Reading Survey w/ Goals Test assesses the goals of Vocabulary and Word Structure; Comprehension; Writing This test will provide a growth measure for developmental reading and a Lexile score for each student. Students may take either one of these tests or both based on teacher and district needs. Each test will generate a RIT score and goal area RIT ranges. If both tests are taken within a 28 day period in the same testing window, a combined RIT score will display in reports for the subject. Activity: None Facilitator Notes: Below are examples of learning statements/concepts in the goal areas. Use, if needed, as illustration/examples. Phonological Awareness Identifies pictures (2) that begins with the same initial consonant sound (b) like a given word, presented auditorily Phonics Identifies the beginning letter (b) of a given picture, presented auditorily Concepts of Print Identifies where a reader would begin reading on a page, presented auditorily M MAP for Primary Grades (Supplementary Component) Revised 7/2008 © 2008 Northwest Evaluation Association

10 Examples of Mathematics Concepts
Primary grades geometry/measurement Identifies or names a square Identifies the lightest object Identifies real-world situations that are cold Primary grades algebra Copies a repeating pattern using different geometric shapes Extends a repeating pattern – pictures of real-world objects Primary grades probability/statistics Reads a pictograph – using scale of 1 symbol = 1 object Reads a tally chart Materials: Guidelines for Placing Students handout Reports: None Key Concepts: To illustrate primary concepts in algebra, geometry, and statistics Talking Points: These are examples of learning statements/concepts in the goal areas tested and reported in Mathematics Survey w/ Goals Test which assesses algebra, probability, statistics, geometry, and measurement. It is important to note that the test, being adaptive, will level up to more difficult concepts in these areas if students exceed minimal competency. Activity: None Facilitator Notes: Teachers must remember that adaptive tests provide instructional level by assessing what students do not know as well as what they know at approximately a 50:50 ratio; therefore, it is important to remember that they will and should see items they cannot answer, but not many and not too far above their current performance level.

11 Placement Decisions Considerations Student readiness
District data needs Instructional uses Materials: Guidelines for Placing Students handout Reports: None Key Concepts: To consider factors helpful in deciding which tests in the system are most appropriate for students Talking Points: Teachers’ knowledge of students should be the main factor in test selection, however, district data needs must be considered as well. Activity: None Facilitator Notes: None M MAP for Primary Grades (Supplementary Component) Revised 7/2008 © 2008 Northwest Evaluation Association

12 Instructional Uses Identify foundational skills for focus: Administer Screening and/or Skills Checklist Tests Group students for instruction: Administer any tests in the system Assess needs for intervention: Administer any tests in the system Evaluate student academic growth: Administer Survey w/ Goals Tests Materials: Guidelines for Placing Students handout Reports: None Key Concepts: To focus thinking on what instructional information we need from the test Talking Points: Think about how teachers will use the test results to inform instruction as well. Some considerations to keep in mind are that: Only Screening tests and Skills Checklist Tests identify areas of student attainment or lack of attainment of foundational skills. All tests inform grouping and intervention identification. Only Survey w/ Goals Tests evaluate growth, provide a RIT score, and align with Primary Grades Instructional Data learning statements. This will be discussed later in training. Activity: None Facilitator Notes: None M MAP for Primary Grades (Supplementary Component) Revised 7/2008 © 2008 Northwest Evaluation Association

13 Never Use Only One Point of Data
Triangulation State Materials: None Reports: None Key Concepts: To create awareness of importance of using multiple points of data to support decision-making Talking Points: Always consider more than one data point when making critical decisions about students. Consider how and when you will need to triangulate teacher observations, examples of student work, and other test data with MAP data. The iceberg gives us an analogy: we need to have three points of reference to see the mass of it. Also, the portions below the water—that which we don’t see– may be just as significant as what we do see (or even more so!). Remind participants these MAP data are only one piece, providing one snapshot in time. Triangulation (three supporting pieces that agree) of data should be emphasized as well as using a Body of Evidence.
