Used for current state assessment, Reading and Math
“Middle Standards”—adopted in 2010-11 Math and ELA
Montana Common Core Standards—adopted in 2011-12
Math and ELA

In the middle of the CCSS movement CCSS used as resource and partial model in
the development of middle standards Development of middle standards Some middle standards modeled on the CCSS
Timeline for development of assessment for middle standards fell almost on top of the movement to the CCSS
Wrote and field tested items to middle standards with plans for full implementation within two years

Montana’s statewide test and educator panels—large group of ambassadors regarding assessment literacy related to the standards
Coding released items to both Montana “Middle” standards and Montana Common Core Standard
Field testing items written to the Common Core Standards—educator panel reviews

• State assessment: CRT based on “old” Montana standards– Reporting stays the same
• Field testing– Items aligned to Montana Common
Core Standards (MCCS)– Progressive release of field test items
aligned to MCCS
15
Operational (scored) items where possible, items will align to both the
previous Montana Standards and the new Montana Common Core Standards (MCCS)
Field test (non-scored) items will be written to align with the MCCS,
targeting standards that are similar to those in the previous Montana Standards
16
Continue to focus on items that will meet the existing MontCAS test blueprint
Gradually introduce items that also align to MCCS into the test
Code test items to both sets of standards for as long as this is practical and desirable
Stop developing and field testing new items that match only the “old” Montana Standards
17
18
Many of the standards are very similar between Montana Standards and MCCS
Priority will be made of first field-testing items that match both sets of standards, so differences will be minimized
