Kansas College and Career Ready Academic Assessment OR Kansas - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Kansas College and Career Ready Academic Assessment OR Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) Results

Fall 2015

See Breakdown doc on website

Performance Level Definitions

• Level 1: Indicates that a student is not performing at

grade-level standards, and additional supports are needed.

• Level 2: Indicates that the student is doing grade-

level work as defined by the standards but not at the depth or level of rigor to be considered on-track for college readiness.

• Level 3: Indicates that the student is performing at

academic expectations for that grade level and is on track to being college ready.

• Level 4: Indicates that the student is performing

above expectations for that grade level and is on track to being college ready.

New Vocabulary: Scaled Scores 220 is THE lowest any student can score and a 380 is THE highest any student can score

Noteworthy

• October 1: Grayscale will be available for

printing

• October 12: Exit Records / Thorough Data Scrub

▫ Why? ▫ ALL future growth will be measured against Spring 2015

• Correction window closes October 31st

▫ Trick or Treat?

Individual Student Results and Reports

To see the full document, use the link titled “Student & School Report Samples from KSDE”

• Performance Level Bands will be changed before final

versions are populated

• Median (Middle) Score is KEY with these results
• SE is Standard Error: Expected performance range if

student repeated the assessment

Why Median?

• The median is the middle value of the set when they

are ordered by rank. If you had nine students taking an exam and the scores were: 91, 84, 56, 90, 70, 65, 90, 90, and 30, The median (middle) score is 84

• Diminishes outliers

▫ By comparison, the Mean is affected more significantly by outliers

• More accurate

▫ The larger the sample (n) or the population (N), the more accurate the median is as a measure of central tendency

• Food for Thought:

▫ School Median ▫ Student Growth Percentile = Growth AMO

• Strengths and Supports are aligned to Claims
• Standard Error (SE) range is shown
• Notice Claim 1 is alone and blue: There were enough

items for that Claim to separate it from the others which may be represented as a strength

• 2, 3, and 4 are grouped given fewer total questions

Claims, Targets, and Evidence…

Stage Adaptivity: Spring of 2016

• Stages 1, 2, 3, and 4

▫ Stage 1 – 25 fixed questions from mostly PLD 3 by grade level in ELA and Math ▫ Stage 2 – Performance on Stage 1 determines Stage 2

– 15 questions

– Stay with mostly PLD 3 questions – Move up to mostly PLD 4 questions – Move down to mostly PLD 2 questions

▫ Stage 3 – Stage 1 and Stage 2 (Aggregate) determines Stage 3

– 15 questions

– Mostly stay – Mostly up – Mostly down

▫ Random Field Test Block

– A fourth stage, but not necessarily Stage 4.

Stage Adaptivity Continued

• Stage 4 – PLD 4 Questions can go above grade level

but are tied to a specific grade-level skill.

• By law, questions will not go below grade level

despite performance

• “Salsa Analogy” – PLD 2, 3, or 4

▫ 2 - Mild ▫ 3 - Medium ▫ 4 – Hot

• Random Field Test Block

▫ Will occur for each student in Stage 2, 3, or 4 ▫ No one will know ▫ Does not factor into score ▫ Does not impact adaptivity

This is completely hypothetical and did not come from KSDE…blame Michael.
