General Supervision Enhancement Grant (GSEG)
2010-2014

• IDEA funded grant awarded by the Office of
  Special Education Programs, at the U.S. Dept. of
  Education.
• Four Years
• Two consortia were awarded grants
• National Center and State Collaborative
• Dynamic Learning Maps

5
National Center and State Collaborative

• Develop and validate learning progressions with
• students with significant cognitive disabilities,
• including skill sequences that can be used in
• instruction and assessment, building on the
  potential
• of technology.

Outcomes of the Consortium

• New extended standards and achievement level
  descriptors based on the Common Core State
  Standards for ELA and Math
• Learning maps, which will include tasks of
  various proficiency levels leading to formative
  assessment and tools for educators.
• Annual summative assessment (used for
  accountability purposes)- online, adaptive
• Professional development modules for teacher
  training
• Advanced feedback and reporting systems
  (including growth modeling)

10
Common Core Essential Elements

• The Common Core Essential Elements (CCEE) are
  specific statements of the content and skills
  that are linked to the Common Core State
  Standards (CCSS) grade level specific
  expectations for students with significant
  cognitive disabilities.

EXAMPLES
14
Common Core Essential Elements

• CCEEs currently being reviewed for adoption
• Professional development tools are being created
  to support the roll-out and implementation of
  CCEEs

15
CCEEs Timeline

• 2012-2013 Awareness and Understanding/Implementat
  ion
• 2013-2014 Implementation/Application and
  Practice
• 2014-2015 Spring Alternate Assessment
  administered

16
What should districts be doing now?

• Gain understanding of the CCSS
• Collaborate with content areas educators for ELA
  and math
• Participate in professional development related
  to the CCSS

17
Document Organization
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction
18
Activity

• After reviewing the CCEE and IALDs
• What questions do you have?
• Did you have any AHA realizations?
• Do you have concerns?
• How do you see this playing out in your
  classroom/school/district?
• What support will you need to implement the
  CCEEs?

19
Outcomes of the Consortium

• New extended standards and achievement level
  descriptors based on the Common Core State
  Standards for ELA and Math
• Learning maps, which will include tasks of
  various proficiency levels leading to formative
  assessment and tools for educators.
• Annual summative assessment (used for
  accountability purposes)- online, adaptive
• Professional development modules for teacher
  training
• Advanced feedback and reporting systems
  (including growth modeling)

20
What are Learning Maps?
21
Use perceptual subitizing
Identify more than one
Identify one
Recognized wholeness
Create a model of quantity
22
Use perceptual subitizing
Compare two quantities up to ten using models
Equal quantity
Identify more than one
Identify more number of
Identify fewer number of
Identify same number of
Identify different number of
Identify one
Compare sets
Explain set
Recognize wholeness
Recognize same
Recognize different
Create a model of quantity
Compare objects
Imitate
Multiple Pathways Math
23
Multiple Pathways ELA What if you are DHH?
Can identify syllables
Can demonstrate articulatory movements for
letter sounds
Demonstrates receptive rhyming
Demonstrates understanding letter sounds
Aware of same and different phonological units as
sounds
Aware of same and different phonological units as
visual or tangible

  Standards for ELA and Math
• Learning maps, which will include tasks of
  various proficiency levels leading to formative

• Annual summative assessment (used for

25
The Future of Alternate Assessment

• The Dynamic Learning Maps, along with the CCEEs
  will provide the foundation for a new summative
  alternate assessment available in
• 2014-15.
• Wisconsin will participate in the development of
  a new assessment if the test design fits with our
  needs, or we will develop our own assessment
  based on the new standards.
• The current WAA-SwD will continue to be
  administered until a new assessment is available.

26
Key Features of Dynamic Learning Maps System

• An assessment system that provides a summative
  (point-in-time) assessment as well as formative
  and interim assessment components for ELA and
  mathematics throughout the year.
• Computer adaptive summative assessment
• Grades 38 and 11 (testing window in the Spring)
• Selected response, constructed response,
  technology enhanced instructionally relevant
  items
• Computer adaptive formative and interim tools
• Based on learning maps
• Administered throughout the year
• Professional development modules for educators
• Advanced feedback and reporting systems
