What is it really?O The Meitzav is a National TestO Developed by RAMAO Reflecting :
O the Curriculum and the Standards O knowledge acquisitionO thinking processes
The Meitzav An Achievement TestThe Purpose: The Abbreviation:
O To heighten the responsibility and accountability of teachers and their schools regarding the achievements of their students in the following domains:O Access to Information
from spoken and written texts
O Presentation in writing :O Objective: informationO Subjective: ideas
Oמדדי :מיצ"ב יעילות וצמיחה
בית ספריתOהערכה מסכמת ,
"הערכה של הש"ל:למידה"
The Meitzav assesses student proficiency of skills in the following
domains:
O Access to written and oral Information
O Presentation of information and personal responses
How can we prepare for it?
1. Diagnostic Testing:Administering an initial and a
post test
2. Dynamic Mapping: Follow up - a continuous
tracking of change and development by domains over time
Meitzav Folder:
1. The initial mapping
2. Intervention plans on a classroom level following the mapping
3. Intervention plans on a Partani level
4. Dynamic Mapping – tracking of individual differences over time
5. Dates of unit exams, practice Meitzav exams, and a pre-meitzav exam
Backward Design
Begin with the end in mind and map out the steps to get you there:
•Identify Learning Goals:O What do you want students to know?O What do you want students to be able to do?O Why is this difficult for them to know\ do on their
own?
•Determine acceptable evidence:O How will you know that they got there?O How will you assess that they got there?O How can we help students learn what is needed to
be successful?
A good plan is like a road map: it shows the final destination and usually the best way to get there.
