What’s New for 2008/2009?
• Statewide Distribution List • Post assessment probe (2, 3, or 4) must meet 90% to be
accurate and not have to continue with additional probes. • __20%____ ___90%____ ___N/A____ __N/A____• Probe 1 Probe 2 Probe 3 Probe 4
• Original Code of Ethics due with submission of Portfolio materials (this one copy will count for portfolio and AT/TAR), one copy stored in AAAF.
• Same Standards to be assessed.

WHERE DO WE BEGIN?
![Page 6: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
COMMUNICATION
DIMENSION A OR B?-Who determines if they are A or B?-What qualifies one over the other?Appendix B (Participation Guidelines)-What are some different ways students communicate?
![Page 7: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
TAKE A LOOK
• Measurable/Observable Skill– Did I cover the entire skill when I was asked to?– What does “and” /”or” represent?
![Page 8: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ASSESSMENT PROBES• Keep them aligned
– Does the probe align with the m/o skill? (no alignment=no score)
• Follow and include every word the m/o asks for on the target sheet [Appendix G] (These cannot be altered in anyway
• Identify Complexity that student can be successful in obtaining
• Identify Supports that student needs to access the standard
![Page 9: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Performance
• Base line must be 49% or below.• Take score of highest probe, apply to scoring
rubric.(Pages 4-7 of handout)• Dimension B may not score in the level 4
range (Progress).
![Page 10: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
COMPLEXITY
• How complex does it need to be? Things to consider:– What is complexity?– How much can the student put into the activity?– Can an assessment be too complex?
![Page 11: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Complexity
• Complexity measures the depth of knowledge at which a student is able to still achieve at a reasonable level (e.g., 50% or above) a specified standard (page 10 [rubric] and 12 Administration Guide). Administration Guide 2008-09
• Complexity describes the kind of thinking involved in a task.
![Page 12: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Complexity
• Complexity can be documented by– Assessment target and/or– Student work sample/Assessment Probe
• Determine complexity by looking for student evidencing a moderate level of independent and accurate application of– Relevant details,– Content vocabulary,– Model or explanation to demonstrate a concept
![Page 13: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Complexity
What it would score:• 1 Inaccurate (all scores below 50%, or a prompted
answer)• 2 Accurate ( Recall more than application)• 3 Application (Authentic task/environment, use of a
model or explanation.• 4 Analysis/Reflection (Able to give an explanation )Look at pages 4-7 labeled for Performance (See
Handouts)

budget– Compare events of story to personal life– (Explains how people affect a water system)
![Page 24: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Supports Reference Table1 2 3 4
Supports represent an inconsistent match between the student’s level of communication and the assessment target, and provide minimal access to the grade-level content
Supports consistently match the student’s level of communication, but may inconsistently match the assessment target, and/or provide inconsistent access to the grade-level content
Supports match the student’s level of communication, the requirements of the assessment target, and facilitate the student’s access to grade-level content
Supports match the student’s level of communication, the requirements of the assessment target, and facilitates the student’s access to the full range of specified grade-level content assessed by the alternate assessment
![Page 25: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Supports
• Supports measure the appropriateness of the supports provided to the student (pages 12-13 of Administration Guide).
Administration Guide • Supports are defined as:
– Adaptations– Modifications– Assistive technology
• Supports should assist the student in becoming more independent and accurate in his/her performance.
![Page 26: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Supports
• Supports can be documented by• Listed supports (cover sheet)• Condition/Demonstrator statements• Student work sample (List them on the sample or
probe)
• Determine level of support by• Match between communication level, supports, and
assessment target• Level of access to grade level content
![Page 27: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Supports
• Prompting & Cueing-Things to remember:– Define the type of prompting and cueing,
(instructional or redirection)– Document on work sample and assessment probe.
![Page 28: Alternate Assessment Work Session Middle School and High School August 25, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e105503460f94afb464/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Performance Descriptors
• What can they offer?
– Performance Level Descriptors
– New resource guide to be released this fall!– KDE Content Consultants are in the process of
unpacking the standards for reading, math and science
