SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE(S)

This item reflects the collaboration of the Assessment Development and Administration Division (ADAD), the Educational Data Management Division (EDMD), the Special Education Division (SED), and the Analysis, Measurement, and Accountability Reporting Division (AMARD) of the California Department of Education (CDE) with regard to the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System.

Update on Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments

On January 19, the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments were made available to local educational agencies (LEAs) whose testing window indicated that summative testing could begin. As of January 29, 2016, the CDE estimates that 14 students started at least one test and 2 LEAs have started testing. The CDE will provide a verbal update on the summative annual administration.

2015–16 Weekend Hand Scoring Workshops for Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment Items

The purpose of the Weekend Hand Scoring Workshops is to provide a training and professional development opportunity for California educators who have applied and been approved to be paid hand scorers for the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments. The trainings will be grade span specific in order to provide the most relevant experience for participants. California educators who participate in the workshops will receive training in the use of the Online Network Evaluation (ONE) system used for live scoring and will be prepared to take the test that certifies them as California scorers for the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments. The CDE will provide an update on the Weekend Hand Scoring Workshops (i.e., dates and locations,

number of applicants who are California teachers, number of participants who are California teachers, and number of certified scorers).

Update on the 2015–16 CAASPP Institute

The 2015–16 CAASPP Institute is a two-part in-person training that gives school district and school teams an opportunity to convene to: (1) develop strategies for using the complete CAASPP System to improve teaching and learning; (2) collaborate with colleagues within their LEA and with peers at LEAs within their region; and (3) receive guided team planning time. Approximately 350 LEA teams representing approximately 1,800 staff members are participating in the CAASPP Institute.

Session one of the CAASPP Institute was conducted between September 2015 and February 2016. Session two began on February 1, 2016, and will run through May 2016. Session two offers the opportunity for LEAs to reconvene to examine and share progress on the team plans that were created during session one of the Institute. Session two will be offered at 21 locations throughout the state. At each location, two regional LEAs will showcase their local plan to improve implementation of the CAASPP System as a resource for other LEAs and as a means for sharing information among session participants.

After the in-person trainings are completed, the content of the Institute will be video recorded in a training module format and made available on the CDE Web site. These video modules are expected to be available in June 2016. In addition, select LEAs will be identified to share, through more formal documentation, their local plans and progress on implementation. Diverse areas of focus will be represented in these plans (e.g., supporting English learners, ensuring identification of appropriate accessibility supports, expanding use of interim assessments, etc.).

Update on Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments

Over 2.5 million interim assessments have been started across more than 1,000 California LEAs, including charter schools, during the 2015–16 school year, and 90 percent of those assessments have been completed. Of the interim assessments that have been started, 80 percent have been interim assessment blocks (IABs) and 20 percent have been interim comprehensive assessments (ICAs). The most popular interim assessment is the grade three, Operations and Algebraic Thinking.

This month, the CDE will release an updated Interim Assessment User Guide which will be available on the Interim Assessment Administration Resources page of the CAASPP Portal Web site at http://www.caaspp.org/ta-resources/interim.html. To further assist educators in using the interim assessments, and to supplement the Interim Assessment User Guide, the CDE has developed the Smarter Balanced Interim Assessment Video Series, which will be available in March on the CDE Interim Assessments Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/sbacinterimassess.asp. This five-part series of video modules is intended to familiarize and train educators to effectively use the Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments, and contains demonstrations of the Interim Assessment Viewing System, Test Administrator Interface, Interim Assessment Hand Scoring

System, and Interim Assessment Reporting System. The list of modules and topics is as follows:

Module 1: Interim Assessment IntroductionModule 2: Interim Assessment Viewing SystemModule 3: Interim Assessment AdministrationModule 4: Interim Assessment Hand ScoringModule 5: Interim Assessment Results

This summer, Smarter Balanced expects to release several new and updated IABs for mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA). Scheduled for release to Smarter Balanced member states are 14 new mathematics IABs and 21 new ELA IABs. For each content area, it is anticipated that two or three new IABs per grade will be released. CDE will work with the CAASPP test contractor, Educational Testing Service (ETS), to prepare a timeline for integrating the new and revised IABs into the Test Delivery System for use by LEAs. Further information regarding the new and revised IABs is expected in the coming months.

Update on Smarter Balanced Digital Library of Formative Assessment Resources

In January 2016, Smarter Balanced convened members of the State Network of Educators (SNE) and State Leadership Team (SLT) from across Smarter Balanced member states to develop and vet newly-contributed formative assessment resources using quality criteria, identify Digital Library resources that link to specific IABs, and, as needed, review and revise resource tags. The SNE is a group of educators from Smarter Balanced member states who are trained to contribute to and review resources for inclusion in the Digital Library. The SLT provides guidance and oversight to SNE members. Of the approximately 75 participants from across Smarter Balanced member states, 17 are California SNE members and 4 are California SLT members.

In June 2016, the CDE will host a collaboration workshop for California SNE members to develop formative assessment resources for inclusion in the Digital Library as well as general resources that promote educator use of the Digital Library. Further details will be provided in the CAASPP Update item for the May 2016 State Board of Education (SBE) meeting.

Technology Update

The CDE continues to assist the K–12 High Speed Network (K12HSN) with the implementation of the Broadband Infrastructure Improvement Grant (BIIG) programs, which are designed to assist schools improve their connection to the Internet to administer computer-based assessments. In the first round of funding (BIIG 1.0) from the 2014–15 school year, there are 25 that have data passing through their circuits. There are 30 additional sites with circuit installation waiting for equipment, and 117 other sites with work in progress.

For additional information about the status of the remaining sites receiving upgraded connections from BIIG 1.0, please visit the K12HSN BIIG Circuit Installation Web page

at https://sites.google.com/a/icoeapps.org/biig/. (Note: If the preceding link does not display properly, copy and paste the Web address to a Web browser directly.)

The application deadline for BIIG 2.0 concluded on September 30, 2015, and as of November 16, 2015, 890 sites have been evaluated. Fifty-four of the 58 counties have at least one site included in the application phase, representing approximately 600 sites. Of these sites, 14 sites are Priority 1, which are sites that are unable to administer CAASPP assessments on their current network. An additional 200+ sites are Priority 2, which represents schools that have limited bandwidth for administering computer-based assessments. The remaining 400+ sites are Priority 3, which represents underconnected schools. Funding to Priority 3 schools will only be considered if funds are available. These applications are ranked by the lowest connection capacity. The bid process to solicit solutions for school sites in the application phase closed on December 14, 2015, in which more than 25 service providers submitted bids. Bids were reviewed and recommendations were submitted in late January. Evaluations of the bids, which included a Technical Peer Review and Stakeholder Review, took place in January and February 2016. Execution of contracts will commence in late March/early April 2016.

As of February 19, 2016, 22 sites have been approved to use paper-based versions of the 2016 CAASPP test administration, which includes approximately 1,000 students.

California Alternate Assessments

In February 2016, 60 teachers came together to review and revise the performance level descriptors (PLDs) for the California Alternate Assessment (CAA), which will be presented to the SBE in May 2016 for adoption. These PLDs follow the general PLDs approved by the SBE in January 2016. The PLDs will be used during the CAA standard setting later this summer, and results of the standard setting process will be provided to the SBE in fall 2016.

The 2016 CAA testing window is April 11 through June 17, 2016. Beginning in the 2016–17 school year, the CAA testing window will be the same window selected by LEAs to administer the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments.

In preparation for the first operational test, Train-the-Trainer workshops were held in January and February 2016. Participants received the information and skills necessary to go back to their LEAs and train test examiners to complete the one-on-one administration of the 2016 CAAs. It is anticipated that over 6,000 test examiners will be trained in 2016.

In late February, the CDE was pleased to announce the posting of a CAA video. This video was produced in cooperation with the San Joaquin County Office of Education and with special assistance from ETS. The video communicates California’s transition from the California Alternate Performance Assessments (CAPA) to the new CAAs. LEAs have shared the link with parents and advocates throughout their sites in an effort spread the message before the testing window opens in April.

California Next Generation Science Standards Assessments

An update on the development of the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS) summative assessments and the expansion of science assessments are included in two separate SBE items.

Successor Primary Language Assessment

The CDE continues its efforts to communicate and refine the proposed purpose of the successor primary language assessment by meeting with internal CDE staff and with external stakeholders in the development of the draft purpose for the successor to the Standards-based Test in Spanish (STS). The CDE and ETS received additional input from the CAASPP technical advisory group in early February and ETS continues to work with its team of national experts in the development and support of the proposed purpose and a draft test design. In May 2016, the CDE intends to bring to the SBE, the proposed purpose for approval and the draft test development plan. Test blueprints will be submitted for approval in late summer or fall of this year.

RECOMMENDATION
