Developing Leaders Notes

Date:October 10th, 2018

Session Title: State Assessment (PSAT, 1% CAP)

Focus Area:Specially Designed Instruction

MAASE Focus Areas:

We will align and organize the strategic priorities and work of MAASE to focus on the following elements:

High Quality Student Evaluations

Specially Designed  Instruction

Skilled Staff

Program Evaluation

Through the platforms of:

Association Partnerships

Legislative Action and Advocacy

Professional Learning

Membership Services

 

EdCamp is an open format where group members share thoughts to help one another in implementation of "real life" practice. These notes reflect the thinking of someone in the group but do not represent an official position on behalf of MAASE. Anyone using this as a resource is encouraged to use their best judgement in interpreting the suggestions.

 

MAASE EdCamp Format:

 

Clarify the Problem of Practice to Solve

PSAT, 1% cap

Collaborate around the Problem of Practice by offering suggestions and resources

Give feedback to the committee on how to improve next time

 

 

Notes:

  • Spotlight-when PSAT first came out guidance was given that there was no alternative test. email MDE to ask for updated guidance statement around PSAT. 8th grade is fully paper pencil

  • Thursday Spotlight recommends submitting to the state for 8th grade, not the college board, this was also discussed at SI

  • Reviewing data post PSAT to see if the accommodations in 8th grade were adequate

  • Make sure to sign-up for the Spotlight

  • Districts are reviewing student level data to see if there are ways to come in compliance with 1% cap. How does this align with IEP decisions? Are teams moving proficient students from alternate assessment

  • Original message was that children that are functioning as if….and determined by subject. Some ISDs are giving guidance that they will not give MI-Access for single subjects

  • County vs. District data

  • MI-Access students should typically be certificate of completion track

  • Oakland did data analysis with MSDS input for the districts to see what patterns of assessment and service delivery exist across the county

  • MDE will not define “significant” cognitive impairment

  • How are assessment decisions being made for 3rd grade? Do districts have students start with M-Step and collect data to determine future assessment choices? Mild CI/SLD?

  • Programming is also very different throughout the state

  • Michigan is one of the few states that assesses students falling below FI

  • Why are we still assessing students on e-GLCEs?

  • Pending legislation the projected % would be rolled back to 25% instead of 40% in regards to teacher evaluation

 

 

Feedback:

  • What made this time worth your while?

  • What specifically can we do to make this better?
