2New Contractor-Harcourt Educational Measurement
- Responsible for test development, printing,
scoring, and reporting - Stanford 10 format with color
- Aligned to Illinois Assessment Framework (IAF)
32006 Mathematics ISAT
- All test items on the 2006 ISAT align to the
Illinois Mathematics Assessment Framework - Norm-referenced Stanford 10 items
- Same items taken in other states for national
comparison - Criterion-referenced items
- Illinois-developed and used only in Illinois
- All items contribute to the overall ISAT scale
score.
4Reporting
- Strengths and weaknesses listed for schools
- Student results for parents with more
information- more detailed reporting that is tied
to the IAF - More data information than previous ISAT
- Performance levels remain the same (Exceeds,
Meets, Below, Academic Warning) - Test results Online by June 1, 2006

6The ISAT mathematics will be administered in
three sessions and applies to all grades 3-8.
Session 1 Session 2 Session 3
40 multiple-choice items 30 of these items will be an abbreviated form of the Stanford 10. 30 multiple-choice items (5 are pilot) 3 Short-response items (1 is pilot) 2 Extended-response items (1 is pilot)
45 minutes 45 minutes 45 minutes
Extended time up to an additional ten minutes
for each session
7Item Formats
- Multiplechoice (MC) items 70 items (5 pilot)
- Short constructedresponse (SCR) items are
similar to multiple-choice items but require the
student to write a response, as opposed to select
from a list of possibilities - 3 items (1 pilot) - Extendedresponse (ER) items- Students are
expected to clearly communicate through writing,
pictures, diagrams, or wellordered steps) their
solution process - 2 items (1 pilot)
8How to Create or Find Samples of Short
Constructed Response Items
- Use old MC items and remove the choices
- Go to http//nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/
- Select mathematics from the subject area list
on the left hand side of the page - Scroll down to How the NAEP Mathematics
Assessment Works and select the third bullet that
says Explore sample questions..
9How to find Samples of Short Constructed Response
(cont.)
- Then click on the blue bar at the top left that
says new search - Then scroll down on this new page to Advanced
Search and use the drop down to select
mathematics from the select a subject bar. - Hit continue

11Sample SCR item for 4th grade
Which two of the items above would provide a total of about 600 calories?
Answer____________________ ____________________
12Sample SCR for 8th Grade
Two whole numbers, each greater than 2, are multiplied together. The product is 126. What could the two numbers be? ________ and ________ Did you use the calculator on this question?

14Short and Extended Response
- Short-response items and Extended-response items
are scored using a rubric. - Item-specific rubrics are developed for each item
before scoring. - The 2 short-response items will contribute 5 to
the scale score. - The 1 extended-response item will contribute 10
to the scale score.
15Short Constructed Response Rubric
Note Task-specific rubrics are developed for
each item before scoring.
Completely correct response, including correct
work shown and/or correct labels/units if called
for in the item
2
Partially correct response
1
No response, or the response is incorrect
0

- 3-4 grade levels are combined
- 5-6 grade levels are combined
- 7-8 grade levels are combined
18Test Item Development
- Illinois items written by teachers in October
2004 - Reviewed by teachers in November 2004
- Pilot-tested with Illinois students inApril 2005
- No test results for students or schools
- Only results on individual items
- Data analyzed
- Some selected for 2006 ISAT
19Calculators
- In grade 3, students are not allowed to use
calculators on any part of the mathematics
assessment, unless it is a documented
accommodation for a student with an
Individualized Education Program (IEP). - In grades 4 through 8, students are allowed to
use a calculator on any part of the mathematics
assessment. - Students are allowed to use any calculator they
normally use in their mathematics classes.
20Rulers for 3 graders
The ruler provided to all students in grade 3 is
divided into quarters of an inch and half
centimeters.. These rulers are printed eight to a
page on hard-stock paper and must be torn out
prior to testing.
21Rulers for 4-8
- The 6-inch ruler provided to all students in
grades 4 through 8 is divided into eighths of an
inch and millimeters. - These rulers are printed eight to a page on
hard-stock paper and must be torn out prior to
testing.
22Reference Sheet for 7 and 8
- All students in grades 7 and 8 will be provided
with a reference sheet to use during the
mathematics assessment. This reference sheet
includes any necessary formulas for items at
those grades.
23(No Transcript)
24Summarizing Changes in the 2006 test
- All grades 3-8 will be tested in both reading and
math - Students will receive a norm-referenced score in
addition to the criteria referenced score that
had been given in the past - Not all items will be developed by IL teachers
but all items will be reviewed by IL teachers - Time may be extended (beyond 45 minutes ) for
students still actively engaged in taking a
section of the test
25Summarizing Changes in the 2006 test (continued)
- The addition of Short Constructed Response (SCR)
items - Students will be given 6-inch rulers and asked to
measure during testing - Four answer choices for MC at all grades
- The IL Assessment Framework - Specific list of
what is going to be tested at each grade level is
available to all educators
26Illinois Assessment Framework
was designed to clearly define those elements of
the Illinois Learning Standards that are suitable
for state testing beginning in the 2005-2006
school year
27Designed for
- Test makers
- Educators
- Policy Makers
- General Public
28Website
- Illinois Assessment Frameworks
- (for 2006 Assessments) can be found at
- www.isbe.net/assessment/IAFindex.htm
29Resources that were used when writing the IAF
- Illinois Learning Standards including the
Performance Descriptors - The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
(NCTM) National Standards - The National Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) framework
30Content Emphasis
- The proportion of each years tests devoted to
each math goal is clearly specified in the
Mathematics Content Category Table - These percents are estimates used to guide the
general distribution of items throughout the test.
