+The Test: Where’s Waldo?

+Reflections…

How might “Looking for Waldo” resemble some aspects of assessment practices?

How did it feel when you knew where to “look” for Waldo in a new problem? (2nd or 3rd example)

How did it feel on test day?

Have you ever heard students say, “We never studied that?” Does this activity help to explain why students might say that?

What could we do to reduce the chance of this happening on PSSA testing dates?

+Analyzing WASD 2010 PSSA Data

eMetric (https://solutions1.emetric.net/PSSA/Main.aspx)

Select Report: PSSA Only

Graphical Summary: Reporting Categories (2010, Grade 5: Choose WASD, Cochran, Hepburn, All)

Group Summary: Reporting Categories & Anchors (2010, Grade 5: Choose WASD, calculate percentages

+What Did You See?

Turn to a neighbor and share what you saw in eMetric when we revealed the PSSA results (each Reporting Category) for all schools at the same time. What thoughts did you have?

Do any other measures – 4Sight, for example – also reveal the same needs in Grade 5?

+WASD Grade 5 Math Targets

Measurement (M5.B.1 & M5.B.2)

Geometry (M5.C.1 & M5.C.2)

How can we drill down further into these Anchors to identify specific learning goals?
