2013 – 2014 Target & Norm Charts

Highlights

Updated targets include:o 1st grade Quantity Discrimination Measure (QDM) o AIMSweb Math Concepts & Applications (MCAP)o AIMSweb Oral Reading Fluency (CBM-R)o NWEA MAP Reading

Why the change in labels? o Rather than seeing Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3, in this packet you will see low risk

(Tier 1), moderate risk (Tier 2), and high risk (Tier 3).o Reason: Tier 2 and 3 in the past has implied that the student is in some kind of

intervention. However with the higher targets now in reading it would not be possible to have all students in yellow and red in a supplemental intervention. So, we will use these targets to say how much risk a student is in and reserve the term Tier 2 and 3 for those who are actually getting supplemental interventions.

A note about goal setting:o Goals for interventions should be ambitious, but realistic. For measures that

have multiple benchmarks, individual student goals can be written for students to reach the greatest benchmark target score (labeled as “low risk”) unless an IEP team for a particular student entitled to special education services determines a different goal for that student.

QDM First Grade: Lot’s of students end up in moderate at-risk yellow on this measure, therefore, our advice is that you look at other indicators in addition, (in-class work, curriculum tests, teacher recommendations) to determine who should get a supplemental intervention.

QDM First Grade: 80% of the students who are at low risk will meet the Fall 2nd Grade MAP target. 66% of the students at high risk will not meet the Fall 2nd Grade MAP target.

*Note: The Oral Counting Fluency and Missing Number Fluency used in this analysis are the same as those available for download on AIMSweb. The Quantity Discrimination Measure used for this analysis was revised to be inclusive of numbers 0-31 in Kindergarten, and 0-100 in Grade 1. Student performance on AIMSweb Quantity Discrimination Fluency probes should not be interpreted relative to the targets provided here.

Based on a review of prior student data, we have confidence that students scoring ≥ 37 facts correct per minute in the spring of grade 5 are highly unlikely to score below 30 facts correct per minute on math facts assessments in grades 6-8, and as such may be excluded from math facts testing in these grades.

Based on a review of prior student data, we have confidence that students scoring ≥ 35 facts correct per minute in the fall of grade 6 are highly unlikely to score below 30 facts correct per minute on math facts assessments in grades 6-8, and as such may be excluded from math facts testing in these grades.
