Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value-added assessment (VAA) systems use statistical techniques to analyze test-score data; VAA data is intended to help educators make more informed decisions about curriculum and instruction. The authors examined the rollout of Pennsylvania's VAA program, and found that, in its pilot phase, the program had little effect on student achievement and received limited use by most principals and teachers at schools participating in the program.

Download or read book Aligning the NWEA RIT Scale with the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment PSSA written by John Cronin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, Pennsylvania students participate in testing as part of the Pennsylvania assessment program. Students in grades 5, 8, and 11 take tests in reading and math while those in grades 6, 9 and 11 are assessed in writing. These tests serve as an important measure of student achievement for the state's accountability system. Results from these assessments are used to make state-level decisions concerning education, to meet "Adequate Yearly Progress" (AYP) reporting requirements of the "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB), and to inform schools and school districts of their performance. The Pennsylvania Department of Education has developed scales that are used to assign students to one of four performance levels on the state's assessments. These are, from the lowest cut score to the highest: "below basic," "basic," "proficient," and "advanced." For purposes of NCLB, the "proficient" level is considered the level that represents satisfactory performance. Many students who attend school in Pennsylvania also take tests developed in cooperation with the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). These tests report student performance on a single, cross-grade scale, which NWEA calls the RIT scale. This study investigated the relationship between the scales used for the PSSA assessments and the RIT scales used to report performance on Northwest Evaluation Association tests. The study determined RIT score equivalents for the PSSA performance levels in reading and mathematics. Test records for more than 2,400 students were included in this study. Three methods generated an estimate of RIT cut scores that could be used to project PSSA performance levels. Second-order regression methods generally produced the most accurate cut score estimates. Accuracy of predicting PSSA passing performance was above 84% for all grades when using the best methodology. Type I errors ranged from about 4% to 8% when the best methodology was employed. (Contains 14 tables and 3 figures.).
