Utilizing MPG Skills Checklists: A District-wide Approach

1
Utilizing MPG Skills Checklists A District-wide
Approach

• Campbell County School District
• Presented by
• Cindy Jones and Kelly Doan

2
RATIONALE

• MPG Skills Checklists will be used as a midpoint
  check between MAP administrations for students
  performing below the average RIT range on
  specified reading and math skills.  This midpoint
  check will serve as an indicator of how those
  students are responding to RIT Band Instruction
  so that adjustments in instruction/intervention
  can be made.

3
RATIONALE

• MPG Skills Checklists will also be used as
  diagnostic indicators of beginning kindergarten
  students skill attainment in early math and
  reading skills.  Select MPG Skills Checklists
  will be administered to all kindergarten students
  to supplement the Kindergarten Screening Test at
  the beginning of the school year and at the
  midpoint of Trimester 1.

How did we begin to design a district-wide plan?

• We narrowed our focus to Kindergarten and First
  Grade.
• Elementary principals and staff developers were
  asked to identify teachers from these grade
  levels that would be willing to participate in
  after-school PD academies to develop
  recommendations for the use of the checklists.

9
MPG Skills Checklists PD Academies

• Four dates were chosen within a two-week window.
  Two sessions each were devoted to reading and
  math.
• Sessions were scheduled after school for two
  hours each.
• Recommended participants were notified via email.
  
• Teachers could choose to use the sessions to
  fulfill PD requirements or could choose to submit
  their hours of participation for a monetary
  stipend.

10
MPG Skills Checklists PD Academies cont.

• Sessions were held in a computer lab where all
  participants would have access to MAP test taker.
• Participants were given student login information
  and were able to preview the checklists to become
  familiar with item content.

11
Goals/Outcomes for PD Academies

• Narrow the list of checklists to be used for each
  grade level.
• Order the checklists in terms of time period to
  be administered (e.g., fall, winter, spring or
  trimester 1,2,3).
• Teachers used information from both curriculum
  materials and the newly proposed Kentucky core
  content standards for reading and math.

39
Anticipated Training Needs

• Training should be quick and minimal.
• Specific features of the individual student and
  Class by RIT reports need to be reviewed so that
  teachers can match student scores to assessment
  guidelines.
• Some basic features of MAP test taker proctor
  training will need to be provided so that
  teachers can properly log students on and assign
  specific checklists.
• Training will also focus on how to access the
  results after assessments have been administered
  and completed.

40
Readministration of Checklists

• We have not included any specific requirements
  for readministration of the checklists.
• It will be left to the individual teachers
  discretion whether they wish to check progress by
  readministering the checklists to individual
  students.

41
Can the checklists be used for weekly progress
monitoring?

• No. We have reached this conclusion after
  considering some specific features of the
  checklists.

• Designed to be diagnostic.
• Lengthy/time consuming.
• Same questions presented in random order.

42
Format of Checklist Administration

• Teachers expressed a preference for computer-lab
  administration for whole-class assessments.
• Individual or small-group administrations would
  most likely occur on classroom computers (e.g.,
  center time, morning work,).
