Is now easier to use Teachers no longer have to create their own

assessments Interim Benchmark (IBM)assessments have

been created for them for each tested benchmark.

Multiple benchmark assessments (MBA) were created to target District wide winter diagnostic areas of concerns and provide practice for the FCAT.

Core K12

Time Saver

Requested by teachers

during Instructional reviews!

Interim Benchmark Assessments – IBM’s

Reading◦Grades 3 – 10◦At least one test per benchmark◦5 questions per test

Mathematics◦Grades 3 – 8, Algebra 1, and Geometry

◦One test per benchmark◦5 – 6 questions per test

6

Multiple Benchmark Assessments – MBA’s Reading

◦ Grades 3 – 10◦ Three Passages◦ Minimum of 3 benchmarks assessed◦ Benchmarks grouped by compatability◦ 13 - 15 questions per test

Mathematics◦ Grades 3 – 8, Algebra 1, and Geometry◦ 10-15 questions per test◦ Assessments were created based upon the district’s winter

diagnostic area of concerns – or -content/skills and the number of objectives contained in each benchmark – or – foundational benchmarks needed to master tested benchmarks. (gaps)

◦ Ex. Fractions test of its own (I benchmark). Ex Algebra created test on Linear equations and a test on inequalities (Over 60% of the EOC)

All Test Codes have been assigned by the district to all students in the district.

Teachers DO NOT have to assign the test to their class/periods.

Teachers give their student the test code – student logs into CORE K12 – student inputs test code – student takes test.

Results will automatically go to the teacher

Extremely Easy!!!

Teacher Requested – Time

To access the test codes you will need to click onto the West Area Capacity Team web Site.

An electronic flyer with the link on it will be sent to you via e-mail.

You can forward the flyer to your teachers. They simply have to press the control button and click the link and they will access the test code web site.

Only district personnel can access the web site

Students need to take the IBM’s or MBA’s on a computer◦ If computer labs are not available, students can

take the test (paper/pencil) then log their answers into the computer in their classrooms

◦ Use CORE K12 as a center (Rotation)

Teachers and Administrators should use CORE K12 to progress monitor student achievement

Principals should give all teachers their user name and password to access CORE K12

Principals are the only ones who can access and provide their teachers with their CORE K12 passwords.

Make sure all teachers log into Core K12 – During LTM – Professional Development Day breakout session

Principals can contact Dr. Carla Kendal if they need their CORE K12 password
