Identifing a small set of themes for instruction Benefit of standard-based gradingInstruction can be adjusted to provide new more complex learning targets How is narrative-based different than standard-based? Standard based uses proficiency scores but narrative-based does not What factor distinguished norm-referenced grading from standard-based?Performance of the rest of the class Benefit of using standard-based compared to norm- referenced Standard-based grading is more focused on learning targets Why do teachers only grade student work related to achievement of learning targets in standard-based?Teachers can focus on goals & track progress A grading scale is used for what system?Standard-Based Grading How does standard based grading support struggling students?Students can re-do lessons and assignments as many times as necessary One difference between using criterion-referenced scoring in standard-based grading opposed to norm- referenced scoring?Criterion-referenced scoring increased progress towards mastery-norm-based measures percentiles Disadvantage to standard-based gradingIt does not reflect students proficiency in time management or creativity Which assessment practice does standard-based grading help teachers avoid?Tagging multiple standards

Criticism of standard-based gradingAssessments are too narrowly focused What is declarative knowledge?Knowledge of facts, data, and information What is procedural knowledge?Knowledge exercised in the performance of some task How do proficiency scales help teachers create assessments?Provide a continuum of knowledge levels & skills relate to a specific standard How can teachers use proficiency scales to facilitate learning progress?Explain to studentes how learning targets can be used to progress toward a standard on a scale What characteristic of parallel assessments refers to the measuring of the same trait on all forms of the test?Unidimensionality What is a characteristic of parallel assessment?The access full scope of a standard or learning objective What is the purpose of parallel assessments?To determine a student's depth of knowledge of a measurement topic What illustrates response-code scoring?High partial accuracy (HP) Describe response-code scoring for a traditional test Each answer is given a label, pattern of labels used to determine students proficiency level How should a teacher allocate the number of items for each proficiency level?Decrease number of items for each level as complexity increases Which component of an assessment blueprint increases complexity?Item types What should be included in the assessment blueprint to insure proper complexity levels are assessed?A screener Which components of an assessment blueprint ensure proper assessment coverage?Percentage of items & difficulity level Which score must be considered when using the method of mounting evidence to determone a students summative score?Most frequent score on all assessments What indicated the concept of best fit when analyzing assessment scores?Lowest percentage of error between actual and predicted scores Why are mathematical models used in standard-based grading?Estimate student true summative scores How is a students true score related to the error score? True score is an estimate of the actual score if the students had zero-error score

• reasons why standards do not provide classroom

teachers with adequate guidence too much content, redundancy and equivocal descriptions of content Standards are inconsequential because theytag multiple standards and rely on sampling across standards Why should educators use proficiency scales as a measurement tool?gain clarity of a target domain What are focus statements?re-written standard statements Why are measurement topics important?access multiple times to determine the most acurate score for students What is differentiated instuction?teachers understand student mastery and help students where they are at What are the 4 key steps to unpacking standards? identify concepts and skills, identify learning targets, determine big ideas, write essential questions What does deconstructing a stardard help?Foster a collaborative dialogue to support growth and effectiveness Procedural knowledgedo some sort of task Declarative knowledgeis understanding, comprehends or identifies concepts without applications What are the 3 main objectives of progress monitoring? Evaluate student learning outcomes, consider instructional change, determine eligibility for other services Solutions for progress monitoringmeasure students rates for improvement and determine whether students are on- track to meet their goals Intervention should include the followingmainatained, modified, intensified Learning targets that properly assess and track should include what students need to know, what should students be able to do, what standards should be measured and what outcomes are being assessed What is standard-referenced?what gets taught or tested What is standard-based?the practice of making sure students learn what they are taught and achieve the standard When creating an assessment blueprint teachers should include what students should know or be able to do, how you will represent learning target issues from a proficiency scale What is a proficiency scale?Guides the process of creating appropriate assessment items to measure different types of knowledge for each measurement topic Ratios of Fractionsmeasure proportions Key ideasalign with citation of evidence
