NYSAA Eligible StudentsOnly students with severe cognitive disabilities are eligible for the NYSAA. The CSE determines whether a student with a severe cognitive disability is eligible to take the NYSAA based on the following criteria:The student has a severe cognitive disability, significant deficits in communication/language, and significant deficits in adaptive behavior; andThe student requires a highly specialized educational program that facilitates the acquisition, application, and transfer of skills across natural environments (home, school, community and/or workplace); andThe student requires educational support systems, such as assistive technology, personal care services, health/medical services, or behavioral intervention

“Old” Assessed two

standards in both ELA and math-AGLIs

Assessment Tasks could be modified or original

Both pieces of evidence would be viewed to see if together the task was demonstrated

New 13-14 Assess each of five

standards in both ELA and math-Extensions*

Assessment Tasks provided in Frameworks are required

Each piece of evidence must demonstrate the task on it’s own, no longer considered “in total…”

Verbal and Physical Prompts

Actions after initial directions and test item presented to student:

Verbal or Physical Prompts

Actions (verbal or physical) that attempt to gain student’s attention

Yes No

Refocusing or redirecting (verbally or physically) the student to test item

Yes No

Reminding the student to complete all parts of item(s)

Yes No

Content or Construct Support that Results in an Administrative Error

Actions that result in an Administrative Error:Reducing the number of options or choices presented to the studentRewording, revising, simplifying or explaining the test itemAny physical or verbal cue that leads to or prompts the student toward the correct answer for an item, purposeful physical guidance or restriction of movement to obtain a desired response

The student receives “hints” or additional details

12

Page 13: 2013-14  New York State  Alternate Assessment

Content or Construct Support that Results in an Administrative Error

Actions that result in an Administrative Error:Templates or other formats are provided that give or lead the student to the answer. For example:the verifying evidence is a sequencing worksheet that contains three boxes that state “First,” “Next,” “Last”; the student response choices are pictures that contain the words “First,” “Next,” “Last” the verifying evidence is a number line where the student must provide missing numbers, but the correct number is provided as a shaded or dotted number in the spot and the student has to put a sticker of the number on the spot.

Manipulatives or strategies that change the construct of what is being assessed (e.g., use of calculators or arithmetic tables for Extensions in Grades 3-5)

SLOs and NYSSA

15

Page 16: 2013-14  New York State  Alternate Assessment

SLOs Using NYSAA

Any teacher with students taking the NYSAA must set at least 2 SLOs using the NYSAA assessment (ELA and math) as evidence

Each SLO must identify all students who are assigned to a particular course

16

Page 17: 2013-14  New York State  Alternate Assessment

Interval of Instructional Time

“The SLO will cover the entire school year September 2013-June 2014…..The outcomes will be assessed by the end of the NYSAA testing window, no later than February 7, 2014.”

Extensions and Assessment Tasks - Examples

ELA – Grade 5, RL.5.4 (Frameworks page 3)

Extension Assessment Task

Identify an instance of figurative language and its meaning in literary text. (51231)

The student will identify the figurative language phrase (personification) from literary text and restate it in his or her own words (e.g., given text, the student identifies a phrase containing a personification, [“The clouds cried tears”] and restates it in his or her own words [“It is raining”]). (AT51231B)

45

Page 46: 2013-14  New York State  Alternate Assessment

Use the vocabulary from the Assessment Task on the evidence

Connection of VE to Task biggest issue in scoring

Do not demonstrate an Assessment Task which contains an AND or plural as a single step/time segment on a DCS

Notes & Cautions from Scoring, that still apply
