General Supervision Enhancement Grant (GSEG)

2010-2014

IDEA funded grant awarded by the Office of Special Education Programs, at the U.S. Dept. of Education. • Four Years• Two consortia were awarded grants• National Center and State Collaborative• Dynamic Learning Maps


4

National Center and State Collaborative

Develop and validate learning progressions with

students with significant cognitive disabilities,including skill sequences that can be used ininstruction and assessment, building on the

potentialof technology.

Outcomes of the Consortium


New extended standards and achievement level descriptors based on the Common Core State Standards for ELA and Math

Learning maps, which will include tasks of various proficiency levels leading to formative assessment and tools for educators.

Annual summative assessment (used for accountability purposes)- online, adaptive

Professional development modules for teacher training

Advanced feedback and reporting systems (including growth modeling)

Common Core Essential Elements


The Common Core Essential Elements (CCEE) are specific statements of the content and skills that are linked to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) grade level specific expectations for students with significant cognitive disabilities.

After reviewing the CCEE and IALDs:What questions do you have?Did you have any “A’HA” realizations?Do you have concerns?How do you see this playing out in

your classroom/school/district?What support will you need to

implement the CCEEs?

Can identify syllables

Demonstrates receptive rhyming

understanding letter sounds

Can demonstrate articulatory movements

for letter sounds

The Future of Alternate Assessment


The Dynamic Learning Maps, along with the CCEEs will provide the foundation for a new summative alternate assessment available in 2014-15.

Wisconsin will participate in the development of a new assessment if the test design fits with our needs, or we will develop our own assessment based on the new standards.

The current WAA-SwD will continue to be administered until a new assessment is available.

25

Key Features of Dynamic Learning Maps System


An assessment system that provides a summative (point-in-time) assessment as well as formative and interim assessment components for ELA and mathematics throughout the year.

1.Computer adaptive summative assessment • Grades 3–8 and 11 (testing window in the Spring)• Selected response, constructed response,

technology enhanced instructionally relevant items

2.Computer adaptive formative and interim tools• Based on learning maps• Administered throughout the year

3.Professional development modules for educators4.Advanced feedback and reporting systems
