First Steps in Preparing For NGSS Summative
AssessmentApril McCrae
Delaware Department of Education
Field testing new items:
O Benefits:O Do not “count” for teachers or
studentsO Provide a “glimpse” into the future of
testingO Allow the field to recognize coming
changesO Offer motivation for changes in
classroom instruction while still meeting our federal requirements.
O TRANSITION IS CLEAR even if timeline is not.
Item TypesO Data Table with multiple choice
options where more than one answer is possible or required for a correct response.O Second section of item may require a
multiple choice response indicating evidence from data that supports a claim.
Item TypesO Multi-step Drag and Drops with
embedded modeling objectives.O Modeling items built in grid item
formats but including a secondary “check box” explain the limitations of the model section.
O Items requiring students to read multiple evidence statements and develop a plausible sequence of events such as cave development or other scientific process.
Also being consideredO Annual assessments psychometrically tied to
learning progressions:O Item types:
O Ordered multiple choiceO Open ended/short answer
O Growth Model with actual usability O Useful “pre-test” data mapped to learning
progression alerting teachers to issues to be dealt with in coming year.
O Measured “post-test” difference indicating shift along a calibrated learning progression indicating maturity within the context/construct being taught.
NAEP Science HOTs (Hands-on Tasks) type assessments could then be used as state level summatives—
Cluster level
If not HOTs, ICTs could be used (Interactive Computer Tasks)
