3 Types of Assessment

• Formative
• Ongoing assessments in the classroom to inform
  instruction and learning
• Interim
• Planned assessments at intervals to make local
  decisions at district and school levels
• Summative
• Year end large-scale assessments for all decision
  making and future reference

Formative Assessment

• formative assessment n. A process used by
  teachers and students during instruction that
  provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and
  learning for the purpose of improving students
  achievement of intended instructional outcomes.
• EAGLE supports Formative Assessment
• Teachers use assessment to inform their
  instruction. They change and adjust their
  instruction based on the needs for each student.
• Students use assessment to inform their
  learning. They must make adjustments to what they
  are learning and they must develop strategies for
  learning.

Grade-Level Expectations and New StandardsWhat
are Content Standards?

• Content Standards are statements that define what
  a student should know and be able to do
• at the end of specific time period or grade level
• in a specific subject area
• Grade Level Expectations (GLEs)
• Term used in Louisiana for content standards for
  a specific grade
• Synonymous to Standards in Common Core State
  Standards
• CCS ELA vs. GLEs ELA
• GLEsELA taught in isolation Literature and
  literary skills (identifying terms and devices
  like theme)
• CCSELA taught in collaboration Informational
  texts for College Career and Readiness
  (Cross-content literacy integration)
• CCS Math Balanced combination of procedural
  skill and understanding Requires students to
  explain and justify rather than define and
  identify

Science and Social Studies Standards

• Science Content Standards
• Next Generation Science Standards currently under
  development by national groups
• Expected release in Spring 2012
• Will be reviewed for appropriateness to replace
  current Louisiana science standards if
  acceptable, will be adopted in Summer or Fall
  2012 to be implemented in 2014-15
• Social Studies Content Standards
• Revised by committees of state educators in
  2010-11
• To be considered by BESE for approval in June
  2011
• To be implemented in 2014-15

Formative Assessment Strategiesthat help
Students Learn

• Learning Targetsbreaking down GLEs into simple
  language for students
• Examples of strong and weak work.
• Progress Monitoringfrequent feedback about how
  the student is doing on GLEs
• Self-assessmentteaching the student to monitor
  their own learning of the GLEs
• Focused Learningcustomizing instruction to allow
  students to focus on difficult GLEs
• SELF-REFLECTIONhaving students write about their
  learning of the GLEs
• Instructional PLANbased on available datahave a
  plan for each class that covers each and every
  student

An EAGLE Grade 3 Math Class Created as a
database in The LEAPdata Query System

• Print your EAGLE Class showing students
• Sign in to the LEAPdata Query System
• Click on Create a Database
• Select the students shown for the grade
• Give the database a name and Save
• View or Modify to add students that were not
  shown (need state id) and Save
• Generate Reports for analysis (Performance and
  Individual Student Reports)
• Come up with Instructional Strategies
• Use EAGLE to Monitor Progress

Key Features of EAGLE

• Student-friendly GLEshelp students learn what
  they are expected to know at their grade level
  and help teachers communicate those expectations
  to students.
• Reports for Studentsfoster student
  self-assessment and show students how well they
  are progressing on each GLE theyve been tested
  Encourages students to focus their learning on
  particular GLEs.
• Reports for Teachersinform teachers how the
  class as a whole is progressing AND how
  individual students are performing on each GLE.
• Customized Test Constructionallows teachers to
  build tests based on targeted instruction
  customized tests can be assigned to an individual
  student or a group of students

How to create a Student-friendly LEARNING TARGET
Example Grade 5 Math GLE 27

• GLE 27Identify and plot points on a coordinate
  grid in the first quadrant.
• GLE Student-friendly version Plot and name
  points on a coordinate grid. (Student friendly
  GLEs are available in EAGLE.)
• Word(s) to be defined coordinate grid
• Definition(s) of word(s) the student may not
  understand
• A coordinate grid has two perpendicular lines,
  or axes, labeled like number lines. The
  horizontal line is called the x-axis. The
  vertical line is called the y-axis. The point
  where the lines cross is called the origin. (Show
  the students a picture with the x- and y-axes and
  origin labeled.)
• Student-friendly learning target Have students
  use I am learning to statements I am
  learning to plot and name points on an x, y grid.

Naming a Test

• The test name is used to view/edit schedules and
  see reports.
• Consider adding a date/time/unit
• Clone a test
• Can be saved as a new test with a new name and
  then modified and scheduled.

Fall Registration File School SIS File All
School SIS Data Collected by District (except
RSD, charter, NPB) District SIS File Uploads
District SIS Data to EAGLE

• SIS is uploaded by the data coordinator to each
  individual district at the beginning of each
  school year
• SIS files upload Classes, Teachers, and Students
  and establishes their relationships using five
  different record types
• JPAM districts have a utility to generate the
  upload files
• Contact your District Test Coordinator for more
  information about your schools SIS upload
• RSD, Charter, Non Public upload their own SIS
  files and must contact the EAGLE Help Desk
