Agenda
• CCR Assessment Updates• Assessment Support for Educators• 2015-16 Assessments and Beyond• Accountability Updates
• States must adopt college- and career-ready (CCR) standards CCR ELA and Math standards adopted by State
Board of Education on April 28, 2014
• States must administer assessments based on CCR standards by the spring of 2015 Featuring new item type: technology-enhanced
(TE) items
Transitioning Standards and Assessments:
ESEA Flexibility Waiver/Federal Requirements
Designing the Spring 2015 ISTEP+ (Grades 3-8)
• Aligned to CCR ELA and Math Indiana Academic Standards
• ISTEP+ Part 1 March administration Applied Skills (open-ended) items
• ISTEP+ Part 2 April/May administration Multiple-choice and technology-enhanced items
ISTEP+(3-8) Assessment Items – General Notes
English/Language Arts Spring 2015 ELA Applied Skills items are based on reading
passages.
Mathematics Icons will not appear on the Spring 2015 Math items, as
Mathematical Process Standard 5 requires the use of appropriate tools strategically.
The Spring 2015 Math assessment will include items that measure fluency as demonstrated “efficiently” and “accurately” by students.
When creating an expression or equation, students must define the variable.
Gridded-Response items will appear as part of the pencil-and-paper version for Part 2 in grades 4 – 8.
Designing the Spring 2015 ISTEP+ End of Course Assessments (ECAs)
Spring 2015 ECAs will include two components: • Graduation examination
* Aligned to IAS (2000 Algebra I, 2006 English 10)
• Accountability assessment* Aligned to CCR IAS (2014 Algebra I and
English 10)
Watch for additional ECA updates coming later this fall!

Acuity Assessments: Grades 3-8
English/Language Arts and Mathematics
• Replace Predictive and Diagnostic paths
• Aligned to the CCR 2014 Indiana Academic Standards
• 3 administrations – serve as pretest assessment
Science and Social Studies
• Program remains unchanged
Acuity Assessments: ECAs
Acuity for Algebra I and English 10
• Continue Predictive forms for the ECAs* Assesses Graduation Examination content
• NEW CCR-aligned items for use by teachers* Assesses accountability assessment content
Assessment-focused Professional Development
PowerPoints, recorded WebEx Sessions, and other resources are posted on the Office of Student Assessment’s website
Focused on:• Use of Instructional and Assessment Guidance• Sample open-ended items based on new CCR
standards• Technology-enhanced item types
“Experience College- and Career-Ready Assessment” Tool
(ISTEP+ Grades 3-8) Released on October 1, 2014 (now available on ISTEP+ website); open now through spring 2015• Technology-enhanced item types• Training for students and educators• Engaging and interactive
(ECAs) To be released in January 2015Teachers are encouraged to use Experience
CCRA as an instructional tool in the classroom!
Transitions: IMAST
• Federal regulations discontinued modified assessments after 2013-14 – Indiana’s version: IMAST
• “IMAST Transition” resources/information available Refer to Office of Student Assessment webpage
• IMPORTANT: Provide local support necessary to students formerly participating in IMAST
.
Future Assessments: Beginning in 2015-16
Assessment Resolution includes:• Summative Assessment (Grades 3-10)
* Grade 10 ISTEP+ becomes new Graduation Examination
* Phase-out ECAs (Algebra I, English 10)* High School Science Assessment based on
Biology I content• IREAD-3 • Alternate assessments (Grades 3-10)• Formative assessments (Grades K-10)• College- and Career-Readiness Exam (Grade 11)• Grade 11, 12 assessments (focused on college and
career)

1 Year Projected Targets
Target scale scores are compared to actual scale scores to categorize Low, Typical, or High Growth.
1 Year Projected Targets with equi-percentile concordance
Target scale scores are compared to actual scale scores to categorize Low, Typical, or High Growth.
(Note: Due to the assessment transition, an equi-percentile concordance will be utilized to translate the target score from the previous assessment scale to a target score on the new assessment scale. Additional validations will be implemented to ensure continuity during the transition.)

Student Growth Percentile
The median SGP along with the standard error is used to generate Educator Effectiveness Growth Ratings (1-4 or 1-5).
(Note: While Student Growth Percentiles are assessment neutral, results will be closely evaluated to ensure accuracy in calculation as well as fidelity in implementation of new academic standards.)
