Overview of New Iowa Assessments
New Iowa Assessments
• Forms E and F• All new items • All items written and reviewed by Iowa
educators• All items field tested on Iowa students• All items align to the Iowa Core and the
Common Core State Standards
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Major Changes from Current Forms
• All Levels– Order of tests within the booklet; adjusted number of items– Use of color, page layouts– New configuration of composite scores
• Levels 5/6 to 8– Sources of Information has been eliminated
• Levels 9 to 14– Maps and Diagrams and Reference Materials have been eliminated*
– Mathematics (two separately timed parts) has replaced Math Concepts and Estimation and Math Problem Solving and Data Interpretation
• Levels 15 to 17/18– Spelling and Sources of Information* have been eliminated
*where appropriate content has been moved to Science or Social Studies
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Implications for AYP/NCLB Testing (Levels 9 to 14)
Forms A and B• Reading Comprehension (25
+ 30 mins)• Science (30 mins)• Mathematics Concepts and
Estimation (25 + 5 mins)• Mathematics Problem
Solving and Data Interpretation (30 mins)
Forms E and F• Reading, Part 1 (30 mins)• Reading, Part 2 (30 mins)• Science (35 mins)• Mathematics, Part 1 (30
mins)• Mathematics, Part 2 (30
mins)

Iowa Assessments – Forms E/F
• Standards-based instructional decisions
• Individual progress and growth for individuals
• Reporting group progress and growth
• Providing relative comparisons
• Providing empirical evidence that supports comparisons with NAEP, state results and international benchmarking measures
• Providing information that measures a continuum of achievement and tracks student progress from kindergarten to grade 12.
• Measuring achievement in core academic areas important for success in college including reading, language arts, mathematics and science.
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Test Development Sources of Evidence
• Common Core State Standards• Leading state standards• International standards• Assessment data• Curriculum surveys• NAEP frameworks and specifications• Scholarly research in curriculum and assessment• Feedback from educators, researchers, professional organizations,
parents, students
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Introduction to Reports
Reports to Support Uses of The Iowa Assessments
• Standards-based Interpretations• Accountability• Growth• College Readiness• Relative Comparisons
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Standards-Based Interpretations
• Determine which standards have been mastered by the student, classroom or school
• Determine which standards need additional focus
• Compare progress among students
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Accountability
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Measure Growth
• Determine expected growthfor all students
• Set goals for a student basedon any starting place
• Measure student growth using vertically articulatedstandards
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
College Readiness
• Predict college readiness indicators• Help students plan the appropriate
coursework• Identify students
that are not “on track”
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Relative Comparisons
• Determine student strengths with respect to the school, district, stateand nation
• Use relative comparisonsto evaluate programs, set expectations and determine interventions
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Reports – Standard Service
• List of student scores• Summary reports• Student labels• Profile Narrative Report• Mathematics Performance Summary• Reading Performance Summary• Student data on CD

Implications for AYP Reporting
New Iowa AssessmentsImplications for Determination of Proficiency
• Background– Due to historical trend data available prior to
NCLB, the state’s workbook application requested continued flexibility of administration dates (fall, midyear or spring)
– The National Percentile Rank (NPR) metric allowed for a fixed cutscore while allowing for flexibility in administration dates
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
New Iowa AssessmentsImplications for Determination of Proficiency
• Assumptions for new forms– Schools will continue to administer their Iowa
Assessments to meet their scheduling requirements and to retain their historical trend data (fall, midyear or spring)
– New forms will be linked to previous forms and the equivalent of the 41st NPR from the 2000 norms will be identified on the Form E scale
– The expectations for proficiency remain the same from Forms A/B to Forms E/F
– Interpretation information will be made available to schools to transition to new forms

Test Administration and Delivery
Test Administration and Delivery
•Registering/Ordering Materials•Receiving Materials•Administering Assessments•Returning Materials•Scoring and Reporting
Registering and Ordering Materials
• Continue to use Online Tools to register and order materials
• Continue to use current process for Student Demographic Files (“barcodes”)
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Online ToolsClosed from June 8 through August 15 for updates
Receiving Testing Materials

Accommodations
• Determined by IEP or 504 Plan• Should be consistent with state policy as
defined in the annual Department of Education letter on NCLB requirements
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Calculator Use
• Calculators may be used on the Mathematics test (Parts 1 and 2)– Use of calculators should be guided by district
alignment of assessment with instruction– No separate calculator norms
• Calculators may not be used on the Computation test
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Test Security• Assurance statement for school
administrators from the Iowa Department of Education
• Applies to test preparation and test administration practices
• Maintaining test security is a requirement for NCLB compliance and Title I funds
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
Returning Testing Materials
• Test Booklets and Answer Documents– Return materials to Pearson– Answer Documents must have barcodes to be
processed
• Order for Scoring Services (OSS)– Complete in ITP Online Tools
2011 by Iowa Testing Programs
