NGSS Assessment: Transition Timelines
Science Content and Assessment Panel
January 10, 2014
ESEA (NCLB)
• ESEA (NCLB) requires that ODE give a state science exam once each in elementary, middle, and high school
• Currently Science is not part of our ESEA waiver, and does not count towards federal accountability or the Oregon School District and School Report Card
IF OREGON ADOPTS THE NGSS…. WHAT HAPPENS TO OAKS?
HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR OAKS UNTIL THE NEW NGSS ASSESSMENT IS OPERATIONAL?
What are the key shifts in the NGSS?
• Focus: The NGSS are focused on deeper understanding and application of science content reflecting real‐world interconnectedness.
• Coherence: Science and engineering build coherently across K‐12
• Integration: Science and engineering are integrated across K‐12
What are the steps to building a new NGSS aligned assessment?
• Develop Evidence Statements (NGSS)• Develop content and item specifications from the standards• Determine the test specifications and blueprint• Develop test items (including field test(s))• Translate test items (Braille, Foreign Languages, Text to
Speech)• Develop Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs) from the
standards• Administer an operational test• Set performance level standards (Cut Scores)
Still to be determined:• Will the science tests be developed by Oregon or with a
consortium of states?• Will the science tests consist of a Computer Adaptive Test
(CAT) and a Performance Based Assessment?• Will the science assessment system consist of both interim
and summative assessments?• When and how will pilot and/or field testing occur?• What year will be the first year of operational testing?• Will the elementary test cover just grade 5 standards, grades
3‐5 standards or a broader grade band of standards (K‐5)?• Will Science become part of our ESEA waiver?
NGSS Adopted States: Assessment Transition (Overview)
WASHINGTON STATE (OSPI)
Adopted NGSS October 2013
Embed the Science & Engineering Practices
• ~50% of points on MSP/Biology EOC are from Systems, Inquiry, and Application standards
Science Assessment—WERA December 2013
Grade 5 example• Practice 6: Design solutions
• Crosscutting 2: Cause and effect
• Core Idea 1: Physical sciences
Grade 8 example• Practice 2: Develop and use models
• Crosscutting 2: Cause and effect
• Crosscutting 3: Scale, proportion and quantity
• Core Idea 2: Life science
Biology EOC example• Practice 6: Construct explanations
• Crosscutting 2: Cause and effect
• Core Idea 2: Life science
Biology (EOC) example• Practice 3: Plan and carry out investigations
• Crosscutting 2: Cause and effect
• Core Idea 2: Life science
Is the Biology EOC still a graduation requirement?
• Yes. Remember the…• Legislative intent regarding high school science assessment (2013 Engrossed House Bill 1450, Section 4 )– Classes of 2015 and beyond must pass to graduate– Biology EOC—Until NGSS are adopted, implemented and assessed
– Comprehensive NGSS Test—When NGSS are adopted, implemented and assessed

Integrated, three tiered Assessment System
Summative:Accountability Measure
Benchmark assessments:Designed to measure scientific practices and cross‐cutting concepts through performance tasks and/or
problem‐based response or scenario items.
Formative Assessment: Measuring key ideas defined in NGSS including scientific practices, content
and/or cross‐cutting concepts. Informs pedagogy and curriculum decisions at the local and collectively at the state level (Science Coalition).
Foundation of knowledge and practice, monitored regularly (daily/weekly)
Measure of knowledge and practice expectation of experience in classroom
Core knowledge measure based on science content and practices ALL students should know(Measured in grades 6, 8 and 10)
Summative: Fully aligned to NGSS. Aligned with standards based benchmark assessments. Final investment and development cycle.
Benchmark Assessments: Blueprints designed to measure practices and crosscutting concepts defined in NGSS through scenario based and performance assessment formats. (See WestEd research and Policy Brief for example)
Formative Assessment: Short diagnostic assessments aligned with the content and theory (practices/pedagogy) defined by the NGSS. Requires multiple formats and professional development aligned with curriculum and standards. Student work used in PLC settings to address shortcomings in curriculum and classroom teaching strategies for the betterment of our overall science instruction at the classroom, local and state level depending on professional development focus.

CALIFORNIA
Adopted NGSS September 2013
As required by the new assessment system legislation Assembly Bill (AB) 484, the California Department of Education (CDE) is required to make recommendations to the State Board of Education (SBE) regarding science assessments based on the NGSS. In order to develop these recommendations, the CDE has to consult with stakeholders regarding the grade level and the type of assessment. To start the process leading to the recommendations, we are working with our testing contractor, ETS, to conduct the stakeholder meetings.
