We all hope to have a successful “testing season” this year with the few problems and minimal stress

Desired Outcomes & Training Objectives
Our students will be fully prepared for the Smarter Balanced Assessments which will be appropriately administered such that our young people have a fair and reliable opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. The Goal: Test Coordinators (TCs) will understand and be able to successfully fulfill the important role they have in test administration as key members of the School Assessment Team. Specifically TCs will: understand the components of Hawaii’s online assessment system including the Smarter Balanced (SB) assessments. understand the processes, procedures, and polices associated with the administration of Hawaii’s online assessments including the SB assessments. understand the purpose and use of all of the components of the “system”. understand the role of the Interim Assessments, Air Ways Reporting and the Digital Library to inform instruction. be aware of all of the key steps necessary before, during, and after testing. be prepared to successfully carry out their responsibilities. Overall and session goals and objectives. The Assessment Section would love to have every student demonstrate proficiency and have made every effort to develop the tools, resources, and procedures to make this possible. Assuming students have had a “high quality” opportunity to learn, the “testing system” allows students to train and practice prior to the assessment, have the appropriate supports during the tests, and provide schools and teachers with data to inform decision making.

What are your burning questions?
When we get to the end of the day today we hope you are “ready to go”. Knowing what your “burning questions” and “biggest concerns” are will help us be sure you leave with answers and possible solutions that will be most helpful to you. Let’s take a few minutes to think about questions and concerns, perhaps you want to talk with your neighbors,…write them on post-its and place them on one of Parking Lot chart papers. You can add others as we go through the day!

Notable Developments: “Not Smarter”
Pause Rule: 20 minutes (ELA, Mathematics, Science, and EOCs) U.S. History EOC: no longer available Algebra 1 EOC: Revised Blueprint S-ID.6a. Use given functions or choose a function suggested by the context. Emphasize linear, quadratic, and exponential models will only assess linear functions in Algebra 1. S-ID.6b 6b. Informally assess the fit of a function by plotting and analyzing residuals, will only be assessed on the Algebra 2 EOC. Revised Blueprint can be found at: EOC Exams >> Resources >> General Information ACT Aspire A school by school decision arranged directly with ACT No NAEP this year. There may be some field testing (TBD) ACCESS 2.0 (WIDA) Science and Biology EOC Bridge Assessments. High School ACT In order to ensure fidelity and that accommodations are provided to students in a way that is consistent with the SB recommended use guidelines, verification is required by the assessment section before they are provided for students. We will dicuss this further later in the day. Student non-participation information can now be provided through TIDE. In general assessment participation rates are “high” but there is a need to monitor the participation of some subgroups which tend to be low. The embedded calculator for the math tests and Algebra EOCs has been change to the Desmos Calculator. This is a calculator commonly used in our schools. The test administration forms, such as requests for accommodations and test irregularities, can be downloaded online.

ACCESS 2.0 (WIDA) All schools will take the ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 Online from this school year Kindergarten: All Domains paper/pencil Grades 1-3 Writing paper only Headsets for all schools new to the ACCESS test should have arrived at the schools before June. The new updates for the TSM(Test site manager) and the INSIGHT Secure Browser will be available soon. WIDA ACCESS 2.0 trainings are going on currently and will also be available in December.

HSA Science / Biology EOC Bridge Assessments
Teachers and schools across the state are now in the process of implementing the NGSS leading to full implementation by SY The Bridge Assessments are intended to provide all students, regardless of the extent to which a school has moved forward with NGSS implementation, with a fair, valid, and reliable test of their science knowledge and skills. They also ensure that the performance of students and schools is not negatively impacted by moving forward with the NGSS. The Bridge Assessment will measure only the knowledge and skills found in both HCPS III and NGSS. These assessments will: have the same reporting categories and family reports as the current assessments. be administered at grades 4 and 8 and at the end of Biology 1. Grades 4 and 8 students will be provided with 2 opportunities to take the Bridge Assessment. use items from the current HSA and Biology EOC item banks so the look and feel will be like the current assessments. only include items addressing HCPS III benchmarks which align with content that also appears in NGSS at grades 4 (in a few cases NGSS Gr 3), middle school earth and space science, and high school life science, respectively. include NGSS field test items. These items will have no impact on student scores.

The assessments beginning in SY will be completely NGSS-based and will be administered in grades 5 and 8 and as an end-of-course exam for Biology 1.

High School ACT Tentative: Subject to final review by CASs and Executive Leadership The ACT exam in grade 11 is now optional for high schools. Schools may choose to administer the test to 11th grade students on the state testing date of February 27, 2018, or Students can take the ACT on an individual basis at a “national testing center” on February 10, 2018,using vouchers provided by the Hawaii DOE. Schools must select either the statewide test date or voucher testing, and notify the Assessment Section of their decision by October 20, 2017. More information about voucher testing and deadlines will be made available in the Assessment News and via communications.

Why Standards and Statewide Assessments ?

What are academic standards?
Standards are statements of what students are expected to know and be able to do at specific grade levels. Clear, consistent and high expectations for ALL students Standards provide clear targets for educators as they support students on the path to college and career readiness. A consistent guide for instruction and evaluation of student work for ALL teachers.

Academic Standards Curriculum What is taught Instruction
How it is taught Assessment How well do students “get it” Interventions What if they “don’t get it” In a standards-based system, educational standards serve as the foundation to which curriculum, instruction and assessment are aligned.

Common Core aligned instructional programs
Common Core State Standards specify K-12 English Language Arts and Mathematics expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready Teachers and schools have the information and tools they need to align teaching and learning Common Core aligned instructional programs

Assessments Standards-based education includes assessment as a key component of the process. Set new, higher standards to be expected of EVERY student Align curricula with the new standards Set up criterion for what EVERY student is expected to know and scores for each performance aligned with the standards and benchmarks are determined. Assess students based on what is expected of EVERY student Gauge student progress Assessment is one part, but an important part, of the process. This includes formative and summative assessment at the classroom level as well as external “large-scale” assessments such as the statewide assessments, NAEP, and ACT. Among other things, the large-scale assessments provide an indication of how well students are prepared for future success beyond the “school building”.

Purpose of Statewide Assessments
Although assessment should not drive instruction, the assessments do communicate meaningful benchmarks to which the Department, schools, teachers and students can aspire Provide accurate feedback on performance - including insights on curriculum strengths and weaknesses for various levels of the system Provide direction for schools’ instructional efforts and for students’ learning Provide educators and students with feedback to improve teaching and learning. This is particularly true of the Interim Assessments Herman, Joan L. (1997). Large-Scale Assessment in Support of School Reform: Lessons in the Search for Alternative Measures, CRESST, cresst.org/wp-content/uploads/TECH446.pdf Statewide, as a public policy strategy is to establish stronger accountability measures for public education Improving schools, teaching practice and educational methods requires data collection and analysis Statewide assessments can provide valuable focus to the system and has the potential to be a powerful and beneficial engine of change. Provide a general direction—must dig deeper to determine cause Focus on groups, programs, and disaggregation Rarely provide definitive answers, but raise many questions, allowing reflection on context and practice Provide an entry point into a collaborative, honest conversation Provide a necessary story

Making the Most of Summative Assessment Scores in an Instructional Planning Cycle
Teaching & learning Classroom and School-level Assessment Analysis of results Feedback to learners & teaching process Responding to feedback ELA and Math Interim Assessments (ongoing, aligned with instruction) Making Use of Statewide Summative Assessments Data Provide a general information/direction and a necessary story Provide an entry point into a collaborative, honest conversation Rarely provide definitive answers, but often raise questions allowing reflection on practice Not the whole story, but a necessary story Must dig deeper to determine cause – other assessments, evidence to support possible reasons for performance Effectively Using the Statewide Summative Assessment Results: Develop and use tools to manage the data and expectations. Develop and use tools effectively to reflect on instructional practice and standards implementation. Develop and use evidence to inform practice and improve teaching and learning. Statewide Summative Assessments (an annual snapshot)

Hawai’i Statewide Assessment Program (HSAP)
PURPOSE: The Hawai’i Statewide Assessment Program (HSAP) is a statewide standardized testing program aligned to the Hawai’i content standards (Hawai’i Common Core or HCPS III/NGSS), which define the knowledge and skills required for students to succeed beyond high school. The HSAP is designed to: help schools and districts determine whether students are making adequate progress towards meeting standards; and help stakeholders in the state, including the Board of Education, better understand the extent to which schools, complexes and complex areas are ensuring that students are meeting the standards. alohahsap.org

What do results mean? How are they used?
What do the results of the HSAP mean, and how are they used? HSAP results summarize student performance as they relate to the Hawai’i content standards. The results are used: in accountability measures such as STRIVE HI, to identify professional development needs, and as one of many tools a teacher may use to help identify a student’s strengths and weaknesses.

Policy Framework for Statewide Assessments
Hawaii Revised Statutes 302A – 1004 (6): Annual statewide assessment program that provides….data on school, school complex and system performance…with performance indicators in areas relating to student achievement…(including) student performance relative to statewide standards. BOE Policy 102-6: The department shall establish a statewide assessment program that provides annual data on student, school, and system performance, including public charter schools, at selected grade levels, showing student performance relative to the applicable statewide standards and relative to nationally representative norms, as applicable. Federal Every Student Succeeds Act: Annual student assessment of states’ standards in ELA/Literacy and Mathematics - grades 3-8 and once in high school Science – once each grade span English language proficiency for English Learners State law, Board policy, and ESSA

Smarter Balanced Assessment Basics
(The following 15 slides should be presented quickly !!) Before we get into the details of the Test Delivery System and coordinating and administering the assessments, let’s take a quick look at the bigger picture. The Smarter Balanced Assessments are part of an “assessment system”. The system includes the Digital Library, training and practice tests, the Interim assessments, and finally the Summative Assessment

Training and Practice Tests
Training Tests allow students to become familiar with the assessment software, tools, etc. The Training Tests: are organized by grade bands. each contain 6 to 10 items. Practice Tests include: a “CAT” with about 30 items as well as an ELA performance task at each grade level. the universal tools and, if administered using the secure browser, the designated supports and accommodations set in TIDE. Training and Practice Tests can be: conducted in a testing session using the TA Training Site and secure browser taken in a “guest session” using any browser from any location. NEW: Desmos Calculator for Math/ Alg EOCs The Training and Practice Tests are important precursors to the Interim and Summative assessments. They provide opportunities for students to become familiar and comfortable with the assessment software, tools, item types, etc., so that they can focus on displaying their knowledge and skills when they are taking the assessments that “count”. Training Tests allow students to become familiar with the assessment software, tools, etc., so that they can focus on the content and responding when participating in the Practice Test and Interim and Summative Assessments. These are organized by grade bands and contain 6 to 10 items. Grade Bands are 3-5, 6-8, and 11 Practice Tests include about 30 items similar to the Interim and Summative Assessments as well as performance tasks at each grade level. They give students an opportunity to experience and become comfortable with a “full” Smarter Balanced Assessment, including the universal tools and, if administered using the secure browser, the designated supports and accommodations. The Training and Practice Tests can be conducted in a testing session administered by a Test Administrator using the secure browser or in a “guest session” using any browser from any location.

Notable Developments for SY 2017-18 Smarter ELA and Mathematics
Smarter Balanced Summative revised blueprint. ELA: less “time consuming items” in CAT and only 1 item in segment 1 of the PT No math PT Updated Interim Assessments. ICAs will be updated to reflect changes to the Summative blueprint. Now based on the “old model” including math PT After 10/16 based on “revised” SB summative blueprint (more on this later). Pause Rule: 20 minutes (ELA, Mathematics, Science, and EOCs) Test Administrator Certification Course. Smarter Balance Revised Summative Assessments The Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments are available for administration to students and will remain available throughout the school year. The Interim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs) use the same test blueprint as the Summative Assessments. The ICAs are currently being updated to reflect the revised summative assessments. Until October 16th, the Mathematics ICA will require both the CAT and PT, as well as the associated hand scoring, to be completed in order for results to appear in the Online Reporting System (ORS) and AIR Ways Reporting. After October 16th, the ICAs will no longer include the Mathematics PTs. The Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) will be a “complete” Mathematics ICA.

Summative Assessments
The Summative Assessment for ELA consists of two components which are administered separately but both of which must be completed in order to receive a score: The Computer Adaptive Test consists of selected response, technology enhanced and short constructed response items. ELA Performance Task emphasize the application of knowledge on real-world themes. Student results ELA results are not immediately available. They will be available once both components and external hand scoring in completed. The Summative Assessment for Math consists of only the Computer Adaptive Test which contains selected response and technology enhanced items. Student results for Math will be immediately available. The Summative Assessment consists of two components which are administered separately but both of which must be completed. The Computer Adaptive component consists of selected response, technology enhanced and short constructed response items. The assessment is adaptive so each student is provided with the opportunity to demonstrate the level of his or her content knowledge based on item selection that adjusts to his or her particular responses. Performance Tasks emphasize the application of knowledge on real-world themes. This portion of the test that requires students to answer a set of complex questions centered on a common topic or problem. The Full Write in ELA emphasizes the use of multiple texts as resources for the students’ writing. This year students in the same grade or class will not necessarily receive the same performance tasks. Student results are not immediately available. They will be available once both components and external hand scoring, carried out by trained scorers in distributed scoring centers, is completed.

Smarter Balanced Assessments “Revised”
Measure the full breadth and depth of the Hawaii CCS in ELA/Literacy (except speaking) and Mathematics and students’ progress towards the academic goals of the Hawaii CCS based on 21st century expectations: --Critical thinking --Problem solving --Analytical writing ELA/Literacy Mathematics Grades 3-8 and high school Computer Adaptive Test – approx. 90 min Performance Task – approx. 90 min Performance Task – approx. 90 minutes Claims: Reading Listening Writing Research/Inquiry Concepts and Procedures Problem Solving* Communicating Reasoning Modeling and Data Analysis* *combined for reporting purposes Summative assessments determine students’ progress toward college and career readiness in English language arts/literacy and math. These are given at the end of the school year and consist of two parts: a computer adaptive test and a performance task. Smarter Balanced Revised Summative Assessments ………. Grade 11 results are recognized by nearly 200 colleges or universities for placement into college-level courses

Content Area Grades CAT PT Total ELA/Literacy HS 1:30 1:30 3:00 Mathematics HS 1:15 0:45 2:00 Both HS 2:45 2:15 5:00 Use your best judgement based on you school’s experience last spring. In any case, you need to have a “plan” for students who finish in less time and scheduled and a “plan” for students who may require additional time. Administering the Interim Comprehensive Assessment, in addition to gauging students’ progress, can serve as a test for your school’s systems and processes including scheduling. When developing a testing schedule, use the estimated testing times to calculate the number of days and the amount of time it will take to complete an assessment in each content area and grade level.

Developing Testing Schedules
Computer Adaptive Test for ELA/L and Math. It is recommended that students have two but not more than three 40 to 60 minute sessions. Performance Task for ELA/L It is recommended that students have one but not more than two 40 to 60 minute sessions. Segment 1 will only have one question so students should not be told to stop at the end of that segment Most students can be expected to finish within these times. While “limiting” testing time should be approached with caution, particularly for students with special needs who may require more time, students do not need to be scheduled for additional sessions if they are not “productively engaged” in completing the test. Breaking the tests into numerous short sessions can be counterproductive - leading to “test burn out” and increased scheduling challenges. This slide need to be emphasized !! Take time to “go through” each bullet.

Smarter Balanced Summative ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Participation
All students enrolled in grades 3–8 and 11 are required to participate in the Smarter Balanced ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments except: Students with the most significant cognitive disabilities who meet the criteria for the HSA-Alternate Assessments ELL program students who first enrolled in a U.S. school this school year are not required to take the ELA/Literacy Assessment. Home-schooled students. Home-schooled students may take the Smarter Balanced and HSA Science Assessments at least once at the request of their parents. NOTE: Schools must send one letter to parents/guardians informing them of the testing and inviting them to have their child(ren) tested. The family is responsible for responding if they would like their chid(ren) “courtesy tested”. Students who have a significant medical emergency, are receiving services at an out-of-state residential program or meet the requirements of Regulation 4140, Exceptions to Compulsory School Attendance, are exempt for testing. All students enrolled in grades 3–8 and 11 are required to participate in the ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments except: Students with the most significant cognitive disabilities who meet the criteria for the state-developed ELA/Literacy and Mathematics Alternate Assessments based on alternate achievement standards (approximately one percent or fewer of the student population). ELL program students who enrolled in a U.S. school for the first time within this school year are not required to take the ELA/Literacy Assessment. If they do take the assessment, their results will not be included in StriveHI proficiency calculations. All ELL program students are required to take the Mathematics Assessment and the science assessments if in grade 4, 8, or Biology I. Alternative program, home/hospital instruction, and serious disciplinary action status students must be tested unless he/she is in an out-of-state residential program or the student’s current physical, mental, and/or emotional needs prevent the student from taking the assessment. Home-schooled students may take the Smarter Balanced and HSA Science Assessments at least once at the request of their parents (“courtesy testing”). TC must submit a Courtesy Testing Request Form to the Assessment Section.

Some Additional “Helpful Things to Remember”

Smarter Balanced Administration Tips
Schools may test students at any time during school hours. Students may take the interim assessments multiple times during but may take summative assessments only once!. Assessments are not timed, however students who are not making an effort to complete the test do not need to be offered additional testing sessions. Students can be tested in any room that provides a quiet environment where other students are not participating in learning activities including not doing homework or accessing the internet. Work with your Technology Coordinator to ensure that the number of students testing does not exceed the capacity for each wireless access point in your school or lab Schools may test students at any time during school hours within the testing window. Saturday testing allowed (contact Assessment). Students may take the Interim Assessments up to five times during the testing window but may take Summative Assessments only once!. Assessments are not timed. It is a school-level decision regarding the scheduling of testing but don’t forget to include additional time for directions, logging in, etc). The TAM has recommendations regarding scheduling Students can be tested in any room that provides a quiet environment where other students are not participating in learning activities. There must be enough computers for a group of students, plus one computer for the Test Administrator. Some schools will use computer labs, and others will use mobile computer carts brought into classrooms. Be especially during “make-up testing” Work with your Technology Coordinator to ensure that the number of students testing does not exceed the recommended maximum for each wireless access point in your school or lab. Ensure that students are not trying to click the “Begin Test Now” button all at the same time. Use a staggered login.

Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments: Test Expiration
Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) A student’s CAT remains active until the student completes and submits the test or 45 calendar days after the student has begun the test. ELA Performance Task (PT) The PT is a separate test that remains active only for 10 calendar days after the student has begun the PT. A student’s CAT remains active until the student completes and submits the test or forty-five calendar days after the student has begun the test, whichever occurs sooner. However, it is recommended that students complete the CAT items portion of the test within five days of starting the designated content area. The PT is a separate test that remains active only for ten calendar days after the student has begun the PT. However, Smarter Balanced recommends that students complete the PT within three days of starting it in each content area. A summary of recommendations for the number of sessions and session durations is provided in section 7.3 Testing Time and Recommended Order of Administration

SB Summative Assessments: Pause Rules
CAT During the CAT portion of the test if a test is paused for more than 20 minutes, when the student logs back in he/she is: Presented with the page containing the item(s) he or she was working on; NOT permitted to review or change any previously answered items, Any highlighted text will be saved but notes on the digital notepad which is an embedded universal tool will not be saved when a test is paused. Performance Task There are no pause restrictions. If a test is paused for 20 minutes or more, the student can return to the section and continue entering his or her responses. Performance Tasks expire in 10 calendar days so students must complete it within that timeframe. NOTE: The ELA PTs have two segments and once a student moves from Section 1 to Section 2 they cannot return to Section 1. The “Pause Rule time” 30 minutes During the Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) portion of the test if a test is paused for more than “thirty” minutes the student is: Presented with the page containing the item(s) he or she was working on when the test was paused (if the page contains at least one unanswered item) OR with the next page (if all items on the previous page were answered); and NOT permitted to review or change any previously answered items, even if they are marked for review (with the exception of items on a page that contains at least one item that was not answered yet). Any highlighted text will be saved but notes on the digital notepad which is an embedded universal tool will not be saved when a test is paused regardless of how long the test is paused. See Appendix E: CAT Pause Rules Scenarios to review the rules that govern pausing during the test. In the event of a technical issue (e.g., power outage or network failure), students will be logged out and the test will automatically be paused. The students will need to log in again upon resuming the test PT…There are no pause restrictions. If a test is paused for “thirty” minutes or more, the student can return to the section and continue entering his or her responses. Keep in mind that the ELA PT has two sections and once students move from Section 1 to Section 2 they can not return. Any highlighted text will be saved but notes on the digital notepad which is an embedded universal tool will not be saved when a test is paused regardless of how long the assessment is paused. In the event of a technical issue (e.g., power outage or network failure), students will be logged out and the test will automatically be paused. The students will need to log in again upon resuming the test. If a test has been paused by a TA or by a student for more than 30 minutes, the test session will expire, and the student will not be able to review any of his or her previous answers.

Major Disruptions Grace Period Extension
A grace period extension (GPE) is granted due to a major disruption, such as a fire drill, a school-wide power or Internet outage. Test Coordinators may submit a request for a grace period extension (GPE) in TIDE (Administering Tests / Testing Incidents) under for the student’s test. This GPE will allow the student to go back and review his or her answers. Note: The student should also not be allowed to resume the test or proceed to the next test opportunity (in the case of an Interim assessment or HSA Science) until the Test Coordinator has been notified of the Assessment Section’s decision regarding the GPE request. A grace period extension (GPE) is granted due to a major disruption, such as a fire drill, a school-wide power or Internet outage. Test Coordinators may submit a request for a grace period extension (GPE) in TIDE for the student’s test. This GPE will allow the student to go back and review his or her answers. However, the student’s test should be paused, and he or she should NOT be allowed to continue answering any further questions until the grace period extension is approved by the Assessment Section. Note: The student should also not be allowed to proceed to the next test opportunity (where applicable) until the Test Coordinator has been notified of the Assessment Section’s decision regarding the GPE request.
