Involvement of Local Educators
• Test Item Review Committees
• Bias and Sensitivity Review Committees

NECAP Grade Level Expectations
If students do not have the opportunity to learn the content of the NECAP Grade Level Expectations (GLEs), they will be at a disadvantage when taking the NECAP test.This means all students, including special education students.
88
NECAP Grade Level Expectations
Remember that• Every item on the NECAP test is
specifically written to measure a NECAP GLE
• GLEs were adopted by the legislature as Maine’s Federal, State, and Local Accountability Standards and became part of the Maine Learning Results: Parameters for Essential Instruction
99
NECAP Grade Level Expectations
• GLEs are located at http://www.maine.gov/education/necap/standards.html
• GLEs should be fully incorporated into each school’s curriculum to ensure that students have an opportunity to learn the content assessed on the NECAP
1010
NECAP Grade Level Expectations
“We are focusing on Common Core State Standards now. Why should we pay attention to NECAP GLEs?”
• The NECAP test will be administered 3 more times in Maine schools: Oct. ‘11, ‘12 and ‘13.
• The assessment to measure the CCSSs does not yet exist and will not be administered until 2014-15.

Basics of NECAP Test Design
• Fall test – previous year’s GLEs• Reading and Mathematics – grades 3-8• Writing – grades 5 and 8• Variety of Item Types
• Reading: multiple choice and constructed response• Mathematics: multiple choice, short answer (one point),
short answer (two points), and constructed response• Writing: multiple choice, constructed response, and
extended response• Common and Matrix Items
1212
Basics of NECAP Test Design
Reading – Grades 3-8• 52 Common points
Mathematics – Grades 3 & 4• 65 Common points
Mathematics – Grades 5-8• 66 Common points
Writing – Grades 5 & 8 • 34 Common points

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
• Access to individual student results is restricted to: the student the student’s parents/guardians authorized school personnel
• Superintendents and principals are responsible for maintaining the privacy and security of all student records.
• Authorized school personnel shall have access to the records of students to whom they are providing services when such access is required in the performance of their official duties.

Looking at the Results Report – Content Area Results
Three years of data are typically shown on this report. This year, Maine school reports will include data for 2 years. After three years, a
Cumulative Total will be shown.

Looking at the Results Report – Content Area Results
Total Possible Points includes both common and matrix items (not field-test).
Total Possible Points also
represents the test’s balance of representation.

Looking at the Results Report – Content Area Results
Please note: The Total Possible Points column is organized differently on the Reading Results Report
106 possible points are represented here – they are sorted by “Type of
Text”
The same 106 possible points are represented here – they are sorted
by “Level of Comprehension”

Looking at the Results Report – Disaggregated Results
Important Note: Disaggregated results are
not reported for sub-groups of less than 10
3939
Looking at the Results Report – Disaggregated Results
Because this is a small school, and so many of the sub-groups are smaller than 10, this part of
the report is not as useful.
But we can still look at district and state
disaggregated results.
Does this data match what we
know about the district’s
program?

Maine tests have consistently shown that female students outperform male students
statewide in reading at every grade level.

Gender Gap - Reading
If your school/district data is similar to this state data, what strategies have you employed or plan to employ to address this gender gap?
5656
For instance, the NECAP GLEs address both narrative and
informational texts, so NECAP reading tests are designed to include both types equally.
Does your reading curriculum reflect that balance?
Gender Gap - Reading
5757
If you organized the released items in the interactive reporting tool by GLE and chose gender as a filter, what
might you predict about gender differences based on type of text?
Note: Reading GLE codes R4, 5, and 6 refer to literary text and R7 and 8 refer to
informational text.
Gender Gap - Reading
5858
Years ago, the MEA showed a considerable gender gap in
mathematics, with male students outperforming female students
statewide at every grade level, but closing that gap became a priority
and it was closed over time.

MDOE content specialists have held webinar presentations on instructional strategies to assist teachers in implementing the NECAP GLEs in their classrooms, available at: www.maine.gov/education/ necap/presentations.htmlThey will continue to present and post NECAP-related webinars on subjects such as DOK, incorporating CR-type questions in daily instruction and assessment, etc.
