2
Demands/Expectations for State Testing
  • Accountability
  • versus
  • Instructional support

3
Goal
  • Assessment in support of teaching, instructional
    systems, and student learning
  • Better, stronger, fairer assessments

4
Need
  • Educational assessment that provides for the
    speedy return of valid results which support
    planning, teaching, instructional systems,
    learning and decision making.

Factors key to development and success
  • Experience, in technology and testing, but also
    Education
  • Expertise, in testing and technology
  • Research, it is all about know what you have and
    moving forward
  • Partnerships, with vendors schools, of course,
    but what about IHEs?
  • Vital links, Collaboration and Communication

7
  • Online Assessments
  • Structure and Major Tools
  • Tutorials (for Students and Educators)
  • Practice Tests (more than one)
  • The Testing Application/Engine (local
    guidance/ownership is key)
  • Results (ability for locals to use their results)
  • Plus, capacity to grow to Early Warning System
    (Benchmark Testing) Formative testing

8
  • Questions we often get.
  • What technology is necessary to participate in
    the computerized assessment?
  • What technical skills do teachers need to set up,
    or operate, a lab or their classroom so their
    students can take the computerized assessment?
  • If our district is willing to register all
    students to take the computerized assessment, can
    some buildings still choose not to take the
    assessment online?
  • Is the computerized assessment limited to the
    time and testing sessions as the PP tests?
  • What workshops, training and documentation will
    be available?
  • After the student has completed the computerized
    assessment, will we get a total score only, or
    will the results be broken down by standard? How
    long do we have to wait?
  • Can the technology people in our district help?

  • The Message
  • It works!! Immediacy of results is a reality
    that benefits instruction and student learning
  • Plan for the unexpected (Snow Days!! ?
  • Unexpected Opportunities meeting the needs of
    all students
  • Begin right away to plan for Test Designs that
    support CBT, CATand beyond

Online Formative and Summative Assessment
Needs, Goals and Realities
  • Efficiency
  • Speed
  • Accuracy
  • Informative Reportsstudents, clusters, classes,
    grades, building, districtand disaggregated as
    desired
  • Reduce Administrator AND
  • Instructor Effort (opportunity costs)
  • Store Information, ready access, create archives

11
Online Assessment Needs, Goals and Realities,
continued
  • Monitor and study Trend, Shifts, Change
  • Research
  • Support for Data-based decision makingstudents,
    programs.
  • Cost savings and investments
  • Ability to Change (speedy fixes)
  • Discoveries to support instruction and student
    learning
  • Meeting needs of special populations
  • Improved security, some greater risks
  • Stepping StonesStaircase

12
Oops, I almost forgotProblems Issues
  • Hardware Capacity Time
  • Technology infrastructure (networking, bandwidth
    personnel)
  • Sharing capacity w Instruction
  • Local educator training needs
  • Building Trust/Confidence
  • Equity school-to-school variation
  • Comparability to PP (transition)
  • Fairness (to students)
  • Immediacy of support
  • Maintenance
  • Pilot period
  • Ongoing development costs
  • just do it!
