This book was released on 2005 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each spring, Arizona students participate in testing as part of the state's assessment program. Elementary and middle school students in grades 3 through 8 take the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards--Dual Purpose Assessment (AIMS DPA) in reading, writing, and mathematics. These tests serve as an important measure of student achievement for the state's accountability system. Results from these assessments are used to make state-level decisions concerning education, to meet "Adequate Yearly Progress" (AYP) reporting requirements of the "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB), calculate status and improvement indicators for AZ LEARNS, the state accountability system, and to inform schools and school districts of their performance. The Arizona Department of Education has developed scales that are used to assign students to one of four performance levels on these tests. Many students who attend school in Arizona also take tests developed in cooperation with the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). The content of these tests are aligned with the Arizona standards and they report student performance on a single, cross-grade scale, which NWEA calls the RIT scale. This study investigated the relationship between the scales used for the AIMS assessments and the RIT scales used to report performance on Northwest Evaluation Association tests. The study estimated the changes in reading and mathematics RIT score equivalents for the AIMS performance levels in those subjects. Test records for more than 20,000 students were included in this study. The information gathered in this study came from measures employing the NWEA RIT Scale. Because all of the research that we have to date indicates that scores generated from computer-based tests and Achievement Level Test (ALT) scores are virtually interchangeable, readers should feel comfortable applying the results of this study in any setting that uses the RIT scale. (Contains 14 tables and 6 figures.).

Download or read book A Study of the Ongoing Alignment of the NWEA RIT Scale with Assessments from the Montana Comprehensive Assessment System (MontCAS) written by John Cronin and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, Montana students participate in testing as part of the state's assessment program. This past spring, students in grades 4, 8, and 10 took Montana Comprehensive Assessment System (MontCAS) tests in reading and mathematics. These tests serve as an important measure of student achievement for the state's accountability system. Results from these assessments are used to make state-level decisions concerning education, to meet "Adequate Yearly Progress" (AYP) reporting requirements of the "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB), and to inform schools and school districts of their performance. The Montana Office of Public Instruction has developed scales that are used to assign students to one of four performance levels on these tests. Many students who attend school in Montana also take tests developed in cooperation with the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). The content of these tests are aligned with the Montana standards and they report student performance on a single, cross-grade scale, which NWEA calls the RIT scale. This study investigated the relationship between the scales used for the MontCAS assessments and the RIT scales used to report performance on NWEA tests. The study estimated the changes in reading and mathematics RIT score equivalents for the MontCAS performance levels in those subjects. Test records for more than 4,000 students were included in this study. Three methods generated an estimate of RIT cut scores that could be used to project MontCAS performance levels. Rasch SOS methods generally produced the most accurate cut score estimates. Accuracy of predicting MontCAS passing performance was well above 80% for all grades and subjects studied when using the best methodology. (Contains 14 tables and 5 figures.).

Download or read book A Study of the Ongoing Alignment of the NWEA RIT Scale with the South Carolina Palmetto Achievement Challenge Tests (PACT) written by John Cronin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the relationship between the scales used for the Palmetto Achievement Challenge Tests (PACT) assessments and the RIT scales used to report performance on Northwest Evaluation Association tests. The RIT scale was developed using Rasch scaling methodologies. RIT-based tests are used to inform a variety of educational decisions at the district, school, and classroom level. They are also used to monitor academic growth of students and cohorts. Districts choose whether to include these assessments in their local assessment programs. The study determined the reading, language usage and mathematics RIT score equivalents for the PACT performance levels in English/Language Arts and Mathematics. Test records for more than 22,000 students were included in this study. The current study of the PACT was undertaken in an effort to monitor the accuracy and stability of NWEA estimated cut scores relative to these tests. In addition, the scope of this study has been expanded to include estimation of cut scores in language usage that would correspond to each proficiency level on the English/Language Arts portion of the PACT. (Contains 18 tables and 5 figures.).

Book Synopsis Aligning the NWEA RIT Scale with the California Standards Test (CST) by : John Cronin
Download or read book Aligning the NWEA RIT Scale with the California Standards Test (CST) written by John Cronin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many students who attend school in California also take paper or computerized-adaptive tests developed in cooperation with the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). These tests report student performance on a single, cross-grade scale, which NWEA calls the RIT scale. This scale was developed using Rasch scaling methodologies. RIT-based tests are used to inform a variety of educational decisions at the district, school, and classroom level. They are also used to monitor academic growth of students and cohorts. Districts choose whether to include these assessments in their local assessment programs. They are not state mandated. The versions of NWEA tests in use in California have been specifically aligned to match the content of local and California state curriculum standards. Because of this, it is believed there is a good match in content between the NWEA tests and the curriculum standards being used in California. In order to use the two testing systems to support each other, an alignment of the scores from the state and RIT-based tests is as important as the curriculum alignment. The current study is an expansion of a preliminary study of alignment of the California Standards Tests (CST) that was performed using data from one California school system in June 2003. It is one of an ongoing series of studies that are being conducted to identify the relationships between NWEA tests and state-mandated assessments. Studies of assessments in sixteen states have now been completed. The primary questions addressed in this study are: (1) To what extent do the same subject scores for the NWEA test correlate to the content-similar subjects on the CST? (2) What fall and spring RIT scores correspond to various performance levels on the CST tests? and (3) How well can "proficient" performance on the California assessments be predicted from fall and spring RIT scores? (Contains 24 tables and 9 figures.).

Book Synopsis Aligning the NWEA RIT Scale with the Maine Educational Assessments (MEA) by : John Cronin
Download or read book Aligning the NWEA RIT Scale with the Maine Educational Assessments (MEA) written by John Cronin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) completed a project to connect the scale of the MEA with NWEA's RIT scale. Six Maine school systems participated in the study, using test information from a group of over 800 students enrolled in fourth and eighth grade who took both the MEA and NWEA reading and mathematics tests in the spring of 2004. Information from these tests was used in a comprehensive study to identify the capacity of the RIT scale to predict success on the MEA and to identify performance level scores on the RIT scale that would indicate a good chance of success on this test. Three methodologies, linear regression, second order regression, and Rasch status on standards (called Rasch SOS) were used to derive estimates of cut scores. In each case the most accurate of the three estimates was used to arrive at the recommended cut score seen in this report. Cut scores were estimated for each of the performance levels at grades four and eight for reading and mathematics. (Contains 4 tables and 2 figures.).
Book Synopsis Metrics, Standards and Alignment in Teacher Policy by : Jessica Holloway
Download or read book Metrics, Standards and Alignment in Teacher Policy written by Jessica Holloway and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the narrowing effects of contemporary modes of teacher and teaching policy and governance. It draws on political theory to provide new ways of conceptualising the effects of teacher and teaching policies and practices. It adds a new dimension to the robust body of literature related to teacher policy by looking at three interrelated domains: (1) teacher preparation and development, (2) teacher evaluation and (3) teacher leadership. Drawing from case studies from the USA, UK and Australia, it illustrates how a coalescence around metrics, standards and compliance is producing increasingly restricted notions of teachers and teaching. It shows how the rationalities and techniques associated with accountability and standardisation are limiting the possibilities for multiple conceptualisations of teaching and teachers to exist or emerge. Using pluralism as the main framework, it challenges the dangers associated with rigid compliance and alignment and argues that pluralism can help secure schools as socially and culturally responsive to the needs of the community.
Book Synopsis Aligning the NWEA RIT Scale with the Maryland School Assessment (MSA) by : Branin Bowe
Download or read book Aligning the NWEA RIT Scale with the Maryland School Assessment (MSA) written by Branin Bowe and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently NWEA completed a project to connect the scale of the Maryland School Assessment (MSA) with NWEA's RIT scale. One large school system participated in the study, using test information from a group of over 24,000 students enrolled in third, fourth and fifth grade who took both the MSA and NWEA reading tests in the spring of 2005. Information from these tests were used in a comprehensive study to identify the capacity of the RIT scale to predict success on the MSA and to identify performance level scores on the RIT scale that would indicate a good chance of success on this test. Three methodologies, linear regression, second order regression, and Rasch status on standards (called Rasch SOS) were used to derive estimates of cut scores. In each case the most accurate of the three estimates was used to arrive at the recommended cut score seen in this report. The authors estimated cut scores for each of the performance levels at grades three, four and five for reading. (Contains 2 figures and 4 tables.).
Book Synopsis Assessing Changes in the Projected NWEA RIT Scale Cut Scores for the 2002 and 2004 Study of Alignment with the Palmetto Achievement Challenge Tests by : John Cronin
Download or read book Assessing Changes in the Projected NWEA RIT Scale Cut Scores for the 2002 and 2004 Study of Alignment with the Palmetto Achievement Challenge Tests written by John Cronin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northwest Evaluation Association regularly conducts studies of alignment between the RIT scale and the scales used for statewide achievement tests. In recent years, educational experts have put increasing emphasis on the need for triangulation of student achievement information in order to assure that important educational decisions are based on data that is robust and corroborated. Indeed, many school systems use NWEA assessments as one way in which they triangulate data from their state assessment and other tests that may be in use in their district. The catalyst for this investigation was completion of a recent study to confirm and monitor the alignment between the PACT and NWEA assessments (Cronin, 2004). For the most part it was found that the two assessments remained closely correlated and that NWEA results predicted PACT status reasonably well. Nevertheless, it was also found that performance level estimates at a few grades showed large changes and that the predictive accuracy statistics stemming from the 2004 study were both lower than those generated from the 2002 study and also lower than those gathered from most of the other state studies.(Contains 12 tables.).
Book Synopsis Aligning the NWEA RIT Scale with the Nevada Criterion Referenced Assessment and the Iowa Test of Basic Skills by : John Cronin
Download or read book Aligning the NWEA RIT Scale with the Nevada Criterion Referenced Assessment and the Iowa Test of Basic Skills written by John Cronin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, Nevada students in grades 3, 4, 5, and 7 participate in testing as part of the Nevada assessment program. Students in grades 3 and 5 take the Nevada Criterion Referenced Assessment (Nevada CRT) while students in grades 4 and 7 take the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). These tests serve as an important measure of student achievement for the state's accountability system. Results from these assessments are used to make state-level decisions concerning education, to meet "Adequate Yearly Progress" (AYP) reporting requirements of the "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB), and to inform schools and school districts of their performance. The Nevada Department of Education has developed scales that are used to assign students to one of four performance levels on the Nevada CRT. These are, from the lowest cut score to the highest: "developing," "approaches," "meets," and "exceeds." For purposes of NCLB, the "meets" level is considered the level that represents satisfactory performance. Students taking the Iowa Test of Basic Skills are also assigned to one of four levels. These levels simply reflect the four quartiles reported in the ITBS norms. Many students who attend school in Nevada also take tests developed in cooperation with the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). These tests report student performance on a single, cross-grade scale, which NWEA calls the RIT scale. This study investigated the relationship between the scales used for the Nevada state assessments and the RIT scales used to report performance on NWEA tests. The study determined RIT score equivalents for Nevada CRT and ITBS performance levels in reading and mathematics. Nevada CRT test records for more than 2,000 students were included in this study. Three methods generated an estimate of RIT cut scores that could be used to project Nevada CRT performance levels. Rasch SOS methods generally produced the most accurate cut score estimates. Accuracy of predicting Nevada CRT passing performance was above 84% for all grades when using the best methodology. Type I errors ranged from about 8% to 14% when the best methodology was employed. (Contains 16 tables and figures.).

Download or read book Aligning the NWEA RIT Scale with the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) written by John Cronin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, Pennsylvania students participate in testing as part of the Pennsylvania assessment program. Students in grades 5, 8, and 11 take tests in reading and math while those in grades 6, 9 and 11 are assessed in writing. These tests serve as an important measure of student achievement for the state's accountability system. Results from these assessments are used to make state-level decisions concerning education, to meet "Adequate Yearly Progress" (AYP) reporting requirements of the "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB), and to inform schools and school districts of their performance. The Pennsylvania Department of Education has developed scales that are used to assign students to one of four performance levels on the state's assessments. These are, from the lowest cut score to the highest: "below basic," "basic," "proficient," and "advanced." For purposes of NCLB, the "proficient" level is considered the level that represents satisfactory performance. Many students who attend school in Pennsylvania also take tests developed in cooperation with the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). These tests report student performance on a single, cross-grade scale, which NWEA calls the RIT scale. This study investigated the relationship between the scales used for the PSSA assessments and the RIT scales used to report performance on Northwest Evaluation Association tests. The study determined RIT score equivalents for the PSSA performance levels in reading and mathematics. Test records for more than 2,400 students were included in this study. Three methods generated an estimate of RIT cut scores that could be used to project PSSA performance levels. Second-order regression methods generally produced the most accurate cut score estimates. Accuracy of predicting PSSA passing performance was above 84% for all grades when using the best methodology. Type I errors ranged from about 4% to 8% when the best methodology was employed. (Contains 14 tables and 3 figures.).
