4-5 Sample Performance Tasks for Informational
Texts

• Students compare and contrast a firsthand account
  of African American ballplayers in the Negro
  Leagues to a secondhand account of their
  treatment found in books such as Kadir Nelsons
  We Are the Ship The Story of Negro League

  Wadsworth Longfellows poem Paul Reveres Ride
  has on them to the effect they experience from a
  multimedia dramatization of the event presented
  in an interactive digital map (http//www.paulreve
  rehouse.org/ride/), analyzing the impact of
  different techniques employed that are unique to
  each medium. RL.6.7

11-CCR Informational Texts History/Social Studies

• Students evaluate the premises of James M.
  McPhersons argument regarding why Northern

  claims where appropriate. RH.1112.8

http//bit.lv/commoncorecrosswalk

• Crosswalk of the Common Core Standards ?and the
  Standards for the 21st-Century Learner
• AASL to CC
• CC to AASL

14

• 1.1.1 Follow an inquiry-based process in seeking
  knowledge in curricular subjects and make the
  real world connection for using this process in
  own life.
• Nothing works in isolation.

15

• Turn to a partner practical applications?

16

• District Curriculum Documents
• Lesson Plans
• Observations
• Student Work

17
CC

• Reading
• A diverse array of classic and contemporary
  literature
• Challenging informational texts in a range of
  subjects
• Writing
• Research -short, focused projects, in-depth
  research

18
CC

• Speaking and Listening
• Gain, evaluate, and present increasingly complex
  information, ideas, and evidence through
  listening and speaking as well as through media.

19
Iowa Department of Ed

• Complexity of text and text analysis
• Information text in content areas
• Constructing arguments supporting details
• Working with primary, secondary sources
• Reading comprehension

20

• Standards apply to ELLs SWD, too

21
CC

• Media and Technology
• Just as media and technology are ingrained into
  school and life in the 21st century, skills
  related to media use (both production of media
  and critical analysis and production of media)
  are integrated throughout the standards

22
Assessment

• SBAC Smarter Balanced Assessment System
• Must offer an online version
• Must take advantage of technology for reporting
  speed
• Must take advantage of technology to be relevant

23
SBAC Priorities

• Ensure all students have access to the technology
  needed to participate in each component
  (summative, interim/benchmark, formative)

24

• Support research on how to use technology to
  increase access for all students, in particular
  those needing accommodations
• Use Computer Adaptive Testing engine to maximize
  accuracy for individual students across the CCSS
• Standardized accommodations policy and
  administration practices across states to ensure
  comparability

25

• Use technology to efficiently deliver training,
  resources, reports and data social networks for
  teachers to develop and disseminate effective
  CCSS curriculum and instructional tools
• Create innovative item types that utilize
  technology and represent real-world contexts

Design Proposal

• Assessment window vs. single day administration
• Multiple opportunities to assess
• Quick results available to support instruction
• Emphasis on problem-solving and critical thinking

30
Scoring

• Human scorers taken from ranks of teachers
• Online training on hand-scoring
• Online certification as a hand-scorer
• Online monitoring of rater performance
• Validation hand-scoring of samples of AI-scored
  tasks
• Our experience with teacher-led scoring and
  rangefinding indicates that it is some of the
  best professional development that we provide to
  educators

31

• Michigans online initiatives
• Pilot in 2006
• Pilot in 2011 (English Language Proficiency)
• Pilot in 2012 (Alternate Assessments)
• Pilots leading up to operational adoption of
