Superintendent Dornsfive budget and policy
priorities

• Fund the Basic Education Funding Task Force
  recommendations
• Replace the Washington Assessment of Student
  Learning
• Dramatically reduce the dropout rate and improve
  achievement for all students
• Expand career and technical educational
  opportunities
• Expand early learning opportunities

4
The future of assessment

• NOTE The Term WASL will be replaced with
  MSP Measurement of Student Progress starting
  2010.

5
The New Washington Comprehensive Assessment
Program our Six Goals

• Shorten the tests
• Reduce the amount of time students spend on
  written responses
• Return scores more quickly
• Increase the use of technology
• Provide more diagnostic information to
  teachers/parents
• Minimize costs

Washington Comprehensive Assessment
ProgramMeasurements of Student Progress MATH

• Spring 2009
• Administer WASLas planned

Spring 2010 Add completion items Less constructed
response items Begin computer testing in
3-8 Single-session testing late Spring window
Spring 2012
Spring 2011
Expand computer testing Add HS E-of-C
Statewide computer testing
Online Fall tests in 3-8

New Math and Science Standards

• Tests for Grades 3 through 8 will measure the new
  mathematics standards in 2010
• Tests for Grades 5 and 8 will measure the new
  science standards in 2011
• High school math and science tests measure the
  new math and science standards in 2011

9
Math and science graduation requirements

• Superintendent will request that graduation
  requirements be delayed
• State Board needs to determine valid and
  reliable criteria
• Earning additional math credits stays in place
• Last year for HS Math WASL to be 2010 current
  law calls for 2013 (legislation pending)

10
High School Math End-of-Course Exams

• Four End-of-Course exams will be implemented in
  2011 Algebra I, Geometry, Integrated 1 and
  Integrated 2
• Last year for current WASL would be 2010
• A core math test measuring 1st and 2nd year HS
  math will be available as graduation alternative
  starting in 2011

11
Computerized Testing

• Computer delivered tests an option in 2010
  evaluation of infrastructure
• Computerized testing expanded in 2011, with fall
  and spring testing in grades 3-8
• Goal Statewide computerized testing in 2012
• Paper-and-pencil remains an accommodation and an
  option

12
Computerized Testing (Continued)

• Capturing responses via computer supports
  constructed responses will explore computerized
  scoring
• Current contractors have proven track record
• Growth scores available from fall-to-spring
• OSPI is exploring fiscal impacts of computerized
  scoring

13
Expanded Support for Classrooms

• Will move aggressively to provide classroom
  teachers with support throughout the year
• Will be online tools (screening and progress
  monitoring)
• Will be two testing opportunities
• Spring accountability test moved to later in the
  year

• Superintendent Dorn has concerns about this
  recommendation.

• High School Core Materials
• Top 3 Preliminary Recommended
• Holt
• Discovering
• Core Plus
• Jan27 OSPI present to math panel
• Mar3 Plattner review present to math panel
• Mar13 State Board recommendations
• Final Recommendations

15
Supplementary Instructional Materials Review

• Reviewed at each grade level for quantity of
  standards addressed quality of materials
• 42 _at_ K-8
• 10 _at_ High School
• More emphasis on student practice in
  supplementary materials
• Content standards more easily supplemented than
  process standards
• Looking for advice in how to best match specific
  supplementary materials to core materials to fill
  gaps
