SAT-10/ARMT Results

• (Stanford 10),was administered to Alabama
  students in Grades 3-8 for the first time in
  April 2003.
• Norm-referenced scores
• Enable us to compare a students performance with
  the performance of the norming group.

2
Primary Purpose of the Stanford 10

• To compare individual performance with
  performance of the norming group.
• To report relative strengths and weaknesses of
  individuals.
• To provide data to study changes in performance
  over time

Reported Scores

• Number Correct
• Norm-Referenced Scores
• - National Percentile Ranks (PR)
• - National Stanines (S)
• - National Grade Percentile Bands
• - Cluster Ranges
• - Achievement/Ability Comparison Range

Reported Scores cont..

• National Percentile Ranks (PR)
• A percentile rank tells the percent of students
  in the norming group who got the same raw score
  or a low raw score on the test.
• National Stanines (S)
• Stanines range from a low of 1 to a high of 9,
  with 5 denoting the national average.
• Stanines 1,2, and 3 are below average 4,5, and
  6are average and 7,8, and 9 are above average.

5
Percentile Rank

• A student earning a percentile rank tells the
  percent of students in the norming group who got
  the same raw score or a lower raw score on the
  test.
• A student earning a percentile rank of 65
  performed as well or better than 65 of the
  students in the norming group.

National Stanines (S)

• What do we know about a stanine score of 4?
• What do we know about a stanine score of 5?
• What do we know about a stanine score of 7?

ARMT Achievement Levels

• Standards have been set in order to report the
  students overall performance in reading and
  mathematics by an achievement level. There are
  four achievement levels for reading and
  mathematics.

9
Four Achievement Levels

• Level I- Does not meet academic content
  standards
• Level II- Partially meets academic content
  standards
• Level III- Meets academic content standards
• (grade-level performance)
• Level IV- Exceeds academic content standards

10
Purpose of the Data

• To improve achievement
• Determine the achievement of individual students
  and students groups
• Identify relative strengths and weakness of
  individual students and students group.
• Provide data to study changes in performance of
  individual students and students and student
  groups over time.

Your ARMT Scores.

• What is your achievement level in reading?
• What does this tell you about your overall
  mastery of grade-level reading content?
• What is your achievement level in mathematics?
• What does this tell you about your overall
  mastery of grade-level mathematics content?

12
What can you do Better?

• Identify specific instructional strategies to
  address strengths and/or weaknesses in reading
  and mathematics.
• Work hard this year to get a better score!!!!!
