Essential Questions
2
• What are the differences between a formative, summative and an interim assessment?
• Why do we give assessments and what are the criteria we use to determine a good assessment?
• What does the Kansas Interim Assessment program look like and how do we implement it in our building, classroom or district?
• How do we interpret and use the results from the Kansas Interim Assessment to drive instructional decisions in the classroom?

What is Assessment?
• Formative• Summative• Portfolio• Criterion-referenced• Norm-referenced
• Interim• Performance• Diagnostic• Authentic
ASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECTKansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT
Key Terms – Summative
4
Assessment
– Summative Assessment –given at the end; used to judge the final quality and quantity of student achievement and /or the success of the instructional program (sum it up)
– Assessment of learning
– Examples: Kansas Math Assessment, Kansas Reading Assessment, Semester Exam, etc.
ASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECTKansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT
Key Terms – Formative
5
Assessment
– Formative Assessment – checkpoints of learning; snapshots; used to inform instruction and essential learning; periodic collection of information to provide feedback concerning progress toward achieving learning goals; provides the information needed to adjust teaching and learning while they are happening (inform along the way)
– Assessment for learning!

“When the cook tastes the soup, that's formative. When the guests taste the soup, that's summative.”

Interim Assessment
7
• Evaluate students’ knowledge and skills relative to a specific set of goals or indicators
• Assessment of and for learning
• Administered between formative and summative assessments
• Predicts achievement
• Benchmark

Activity One
1Define Assessment by answering
the essential question: What are the differences
between Formative, Summative and Interim Assessment?
ASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECTKansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT
Why do we assess?
8
• diagnosing students’ strengths and weaknesses (needs)
• monitoring students’ progress
• Using data to guide or “drive” the instruction we provide (tool for learning)
ASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECTKansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT
Why do we assess?
• determining one’s own instructional effectiveness
• curriculum needs
• assigning grades, placement
• BECAUSE of district, state, and federal requirements

ASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECTKansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT 10
Criteria for a good assessment
• aligned to the curriculum
• designed prior to instruction
• matches instruction
• tests what is taught
• drives instructional decisions
ASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECTKansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT 11
If we want to use assessment as a tool for learning…
We must be able to answer…
• What is it we want all students to learn?
• How will we know when each student has mastered the essential learning?
• How will we respond when a student experiences difficulty in learning?
• How will we deepen the learning for students who have already mastered the essential knowledge and skills?

use to determine a good assessment?2

Begin with the End in Mind…
• KS Math Assessment – April (Summative)
• CETE Formative Assessments – (on-going assessments to monitor student learning of targeted indicators)
• KS Interim Assessments (3 data points/benchmarks)

CETE Formative Assessments
If a formative assessment is that along the way assessment if it helps teachers determine next steps during the learning process
How do we use the CETE Formative assessment? Are you using the CETE formative assessments? How do you use the CETE formative site?

Peak usage…for the formative site is in Feb. and March

Kansas Interim Assessment
• Designed as a tool teachers may use to gauge the progress their students have made with regard to the tested indicators at their grade level.
• Provides an estimate of achievement on tested indicators at three different points prior to the administration of the KS assessment
ASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECTKansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT 19
Kansas Interim Assessment
• Administered online using the KCA site
• Takes one class period to administer
• Designed as a multi-stage adaptive test.
– Multiple choice
– Each test consists of three parts
– Students will receive more challenging or less challenging parts based on their responses to previous parts during the test session

Interim Assessment
• Scores on the interim assessment will be on the same scale as scores on the KS assessment (NCLB) assessment for the same grade and subject.
• Scores are available electronically
• Class Roster Reports, Class Score Distribution, Indicator Information, etc.

Activity Three
Activity three answers the essential question:
What does the Kansas Interim Assessment Program look like and
how do we implement it in our building, classroom or district?

Impacting Instruction…
• If a student received a 74 on the taught indicators and a 34 on the entire test…what does that mean?
– Students understood most of the concepts that were taught
– With regular “cyclic review” of the taught items you may not need to dig any deeper. Interim 2 will help you see if the concepts are still understood!
– Cyclic review – daily math warm-ups (3-4 problems)
ASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECTKansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT 28
Impacting Instruction…
• However… If a student received a 44 on the taught indicators and a 34 on the entire test…what does that mean?
– The student did not understand that concepts that were taught!
– Use formative assessments – before/after
– Specific re-teaching of indicators, “daily cyclic review” of the taught items
ASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECTKansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT 29
Goal Setting, Test Talks…
• Students should have the opportunity to see their results and set goals for the next assessment.
• Teacher, principal test talks are another way to help students understand and focus on learning needs.
Sample goal:• I want to improve my score from a 44 to a 70 on the interim
assessment given in December.
• I will improve my score by asking my teacher for help on daily lessons when I don’t understand. I will do my homework. I will check over my work.

Goal Setting and Test Talks…
• Allow students to reflect on their learning • Have students keep charts to “track” their learning

Some Thoughts…
CurriculumWhat is it we want
all students to learn?
AssessmentSummativeInterim
Formative
InstructionWhat strategies
will lead to better
understanding? Interim data “big picture” leads to more
diagnosis.
What will I do differently in my
instruction?
ASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECTKansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT 32-33
Think Time…Assessment
• The term assessment is derived from the Latin root assidere meaning “to sit beside”
• a broad term referring to the process of gathering and synthesizing information
• “Testing” is one type of assessment!
Kansas State Department of EducationASSESSMENT L ITERACY PROJECT 34
• AND…if good assessment drives instruction!
• We must be a good consumer, armed with knowledge about assessment!
You are what you assess!

4Activity four helps you reflect on
the essential question:How will you use the Interim
assessment to improve student learning if you classroom,
building or district?
