Part I: 2017 M-STEP and MME tests
• 2017 format
• Approximate Point distribution for claims, standards, and performance tasks
• Linking M-STEP to CCR Claims, Targets, and Michigan Standards
• Part II: Key skills to be practiced by all teachers, all subjects
WWW.MICHIGAN.GOV/MSTEP
Grades 3 to 8,
Start at the M-STEP website
http://www.michigan.gov/mstep
Sign up for Spotlight
www.michigan.gov/mstep
http://www.michigan.gov/mstep
Each claim has a performance level indicator
ELA Claims
Math claims
5th grade essays: Opinion, Informational, or Narrative8th Grade essays: Argumentative or Explanatory
Three rubrics for grading (use these in your classes!!!)• Rubric 1: Organization/Purpose• Rubric 2: Evidence/Elaboration or
Development /Elaboration• Rubric 3: Conventions
Graded by the number of points possible – which varies by the type of essay. Condition codes include• B – Blank• I – Insufficient• L – Nonscorable Language• T – Off Topic• M – Off Purpose
Grade-level crosswalk documents illustrate how the standards map
to each assessment target and align to the critical areas for each grade as well as the claim which
will be measured.
It’s important to print out the Crosswalks for your grade for Math and ELA
Math Crosswalk sample
4 and 7 Science Standards
5 and 8 Social Studies Standards
Where are the Rubrics? www.michigan.gov/mstep
Regardless of what they are called – use for all writing assignments.

Word to the wise, BAA considering replacing 8th grade M-STEP with
PSAT in future
HIGH SCHOOL, START BY LOOKING AT

Work Keys Results
Linking PSAT and SAT scores to Khan Academy allows
teachers to create personalized practice plans for students. These can be
done at home, on cell phones, etc.
SAT resources and practice tests are at www.michigan.gov/mme
Scroll to bottom and click on Free Practice. Note: all 8th grade and high school teachers should take both PSAT
and SAT practice tests.

Construct Relevant Vocabulary, www.michigan.gov/mstep
Words that may appear in assessment stems or options on the ELA M-STEP even though the EDL Core Vocabularies: Reading, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies might identify these terms as above grade level.

Points Possible in All Subjects and Grades ---
Math, 2015
ELA Points by Claim and Targets, 2015
Points Possible for Social
Studies and ScienceNote: The
expectations show content must be
taught in multiple grades.
RESOURCES FOR PRACTICE
ALL TEACHERS SHOULD TAKE THE SAME TESTS THEIR
STUDENTS TAKE---
Otherwise, how can you prepare your students?
Grade-level crosswalk documents illustrate how the standards map
to each assessment target and align to the critical areas for each grade as well as the claim which
will be measured.
Shared Responsibility
“The grades 6–12 standards are divided into two sections, one for ELA and the other for history/social studies, science, and technical subjects. This division reflects the unique, time-honored place of ELA teachers in developing students’ literacy skills while at the same time
recognizing that teachers in other areas must have a role in this development as well.”
48from the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects, page 4.
Use the M-STEP/SAT rubrics for all writing assignments in all subjects.

Key skills to be practiced by all teachers, all subjects
• DOK levels 2, 3, and 4• Academic Vocabulary • Writing, writing, writing using rubrics in all
classrooms• Regular practice with complex text and its academic
language
• Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from the text, both literary and
informational. Teach annotation and note-taking.
• Build knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
• Practice Performance Tasks, esp. math
CCRS Requires Three Shifts in Literacy skill building
1. Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
2. Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from the text, both literary and
informational
3. Build knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
52
Close Reading?
• Reading and discussing a piece of text without needing any information outside of the text.
• Teach students to “Read like Detectives, “interrogating what texts tell us about” the way things are and why.
53
Close Analytic Reading
54
• Requires prompting students with text-dependent questions to unpack complex text and gain knowledge.
• Text dependent questions require text-based answers –evidence.
• Not teacher summarizing text, but guiding students through the text for information.
• Virtually every standard is activated during the course of every close analytic reading exemplar through the
use of text dependent questions.
• Supports fluency
Math DOK Verbs
This includes in Social Studies, Health,
Science, and all subjects
56
Practice Reading, Writing and Speaking using Evidence From Text, Both Literary
and Informational
Content-rich nonfiction –use Text Exemplars in Appendix B

Preparing for Math success
• Focus on Critical Areas in the Claims and Targets
• Practice Performance Tasks and multiple step problem solving
Performance Tasks
•Extended projects that demonstrate real-world writing and analytical skills•May include online research, group projects, presentations•Require 1-2 class periods to complete•Included in both interim and summative assessments•Applicable in all grades being assessed•Evaluated by teachers using consistent scoring rubrics (see www.michigan.gov/mstep)
