3. Why P/SI v1.5? P/SI for 2005/2006 –Participating but not Proficient Required development of new, content-area specific assessments for 2006/2007 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

5. P/SI v1.5 vs. Original P/SI Increased standardization Structured, on-demand activity item format Measure content areas explicitly Scoring –Rubric – 2 Assessment Administrators

13. Item Difficulty and Complexity Difficulty and/or Complexity increase in two ways –EGLCE/EB across grade spans –Same EGLCE/EB in all grade spans, but number of trials increases

14. Performance Contexts v Isolation Looking for English language arts routinely use during instruction

24. Selecting 1 Word from a Set of 4 Presented with all 4 words visually accessible at one time Assessed using a “yes/no” response by presenting each word beginning with an unrelated and moving to a related

25. Selecting 2 Words from a Set of 4 Presented with all 4 words visually accessible at one time.

26. Selecting 2 Words from a Set of 4 Assessed using a “yes/no” response Presenting 2 sets of 2 words (one related and one unrelated in each set).
