Move to Fall Assessment Return to fall assessment in 2005-06 Consequently, teachers will receive
results in time to use them for planning instruction

Move to Fall Assessment Operational assessment for elementary
and middle school in all subjects for the 2005-06 school year is scheduled for October 3 – 21, 2005.
HS Fall 2005 Retest Dates will be October 24 – November 4.

NCLB Testing Requirements Every student must be assessed in
mathematics and English language arts every year.
Results in mathematics will be reported by Grade Level Content Expectation (GLCE).• ELA may include limited GLCE reporting• Science & social studies may do so in future

Field Testing will Increase In the past, MEAP has used field testing
in a limited number of schools Current plan is to release all items
relating to the core GLCEs each year Therefore, field testing will be expanded

Winter 2005 A significant number of schools will
participate in field testing new items in grades 3 through 8 during the Winter 2005 operational assessment cycle.

Sample Selection School coordinators were notified about sample
selection on October 15. Sample must adequately represent the students in
the State. Schools selected as part of the sample are required
to participate in the field testing.

11
Testing in Grades 4, 5, 7 & 8 In the traditional MEAP grades,
assessments will include both operational and field test items.• Field test items will be scored, but will not be
used to determine student performance levels or for reporting.
• Field test items will be placed within the assessments and will look just like the other items.

Winter 2005 Testing Cycle Base MEAP assessments with embedded field
test items will be administered at the same grade levels as they have been in recent years:• Grade 4 – English language arts (ELA) and
mathematics• Grade 5 – Science and social studies• Grade 7 – English language arts• Grade 8 – Mathematics, science and social studies
Field Testing
Sept/Oct 2004 Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability

Winter 2005 Stand-alone Field Tests
Stand-alone field tests• Will consist only of field test items • Will not be used for scoring or reporting
purposes• Schools will be randomly selected to
participate
Field Testing
Sept/Oct 2004 Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability
14
Field Tests in Grades 3, 5, 6, 7 & 8 Stand-alone field tests will be conducted in the
following grades and subject areas:• Grade 3 – English language arts and mathematics• Grade 5 – English language arts and mathematics• Grade 6 – English language arts and mathematics• Grade 7 – Mathematics• Grade 8 – English language arts

Embedded Field Tests (Future) Beginning in Fall 2005, we plan to
embed field test items in each MEAP assessment booklet for all subjects, in order to determine which items are the best to use for creating future operational assessments.
Field Testing
Sept/Oct 2004 Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability
16
Embedded Field Tests in Math & ELA For math, each student will take 8 to 10 field
test items in addition to the items that will count in their assessment scores.
For ELA , in addition to the items that will be reported as part of their scores, each student will be asked to (a) respond to 10 multiple choice items related to an extra reading passage, or else (b) write an essay based on a prompt.

25
Grade 4 Reading GLCEs Word Study: Use structural, semantic,
and syntactic cues to automatically read frequently encountered words, decode unknown words, and decide meaning, including multiple meaning words (e.g., letter/ sound, rimes, base words, affixes, syllabication)

Some future math GLCEs Grade 2: Understand multiplication as
the result of counting the total number of objects in a set of equal groups, e.g., 3 x 5 gives the number of objects in 3 groups of 5 objects, i.e.,• 3 x 5 = 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.
Mathematics Assessment
Sept/Oct 2004 Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability
36
Some future math GLCEs (continued)
Grade 3: Estimate the perimeter of a square and rectangle in inches and centimeters; estimate the area of a square and rectangle in square inches and square centimeters.
Mathematics Assessment
Sept/Oct 2004 Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability
37
Some future math GLCEs (continued)
Grade 4: Find unknown angles using the properties of: triangles, including right, isosceles, and equilateral triangles; parallelograms, including rectangles and rhombuses, and trapezoids.
Mathematics Assessment
Sept/Oct 2004 Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability
38
Some future math GLCEs (continued)
Grade 6: Solve equations of the form ax + b = c, e.g., 3x + 8 = 15, by hand for positive integer coefficients less than 20, using calculators otherwise, and interpret the results.
Mathematics Assessment
Sept/Oct 2004 Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability
39
Some future math GLCEs (continued) Grade 7: Recognize inversely proportional
relationships in contextual situations; know that quantities are inversely proportional if their product is constant; e.g., the length and width of a rectangle with fixed area and that an inversely proportional relationship is of the form y = k/x where k is some non-zero number.

(yet to be approved)
Science benchmarks and standards are under review this year, with May 2005 as the earliest that assessment development can begin.
Current Science assessments would be given in the Fall 2005 at grades 5 and 8.• Schools will not have the first semester to cover
content included in the assessment; this could have local instructional implications.
New assessments could be pilot-tested in Winter 2006 and implemented in Fall 2006.

(yet to be approved) The State Superintendent’s Social Studies
Task Force will be making several recommendations soon.• Under consideration: A proposal to create grade-
level expectations and reduce the breadth of the MEAP assessments.
• If completed by Fall 2004, new MEAP assessment items could be field tested in Fall 2005 and the new assessments could be implemented in Fall 2006.

Move to grades 6 & 9 Existing MEAP assessments, now
given in the winter of grades 5 and 8, may be shifted to the fall of grades 6 and 9 in 2005.

Teacher involvement MEAP plans to return to the previous
practice of involving Michigan teachers in developing the items for field tests beginning in Fall 2005.
Item Development

46
Benefits Will ensure that our assessments have high
quality Will also give Michigan educators a valuable
professional development opportunity to increase their familiarity with the GLCEs and thereby enhance their knowledge of Michigan’s standards.
