52015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Focus of this Workshop• Overview of the reporting system for all CAASPP
operational summative assessments:– Smarter Balanced English language arts/literacy
(ELA) and mathematics– California Standards Tests (CSTs), California
Modified Assessment (CMA), California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA) for Science
– Standards-based Tests in Spanish (STS) for Reading/Language Arts (RLA)
• Focus on Smarter Balanced ELA and mathematics
72015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Goals of the Section• Provide an overview of computer adaptive testing
(CAT) and scoring• Describe the relative contribution of the
performance tasks (PTs) and the CAT to the overall scores
• Describe the– Score scale– Achievement levels– Error Bands– Claims

Computer Adaptive Testing:Philosophy
“Computer adaptive testing (CAT) holds the potential for more customized assessment with test questions that are tailored to the students’ ability levels, and identification of students’ skills and weaknesses using fewer questions and requiring less testing time.”
Shorr, P. W. (2002, Spring). A look at tools for assessment and accountability. Administrator Magazine.
92015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
How Does a CAT Work?• Each student is administered a set of test questions that
is appropriately challenging.• The student’s performance on the test questions
determines if subsequent questions are harder or easier.• The test adapts to the student item-by-item and not in
stages.• Fewer test questions are needed as compared to a fixed
form to obtain precise estimates of students’ ability.• The test continues until the test content outlined in the
blueprint is covered.

Computer Adaptive Testing:Behind the Scenes
• Requires a large pool of test questions statistically calibrated on a common scale with ability estimates, e.g., from the Field Test
• Uses an algorithm to select questions based on a student’s responses, to score responses, and to iteratively estimate the student’s performance
• Final scale scores are based on item pattern scoring
122015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Computer Adaptive Testing:Practical Considerations
• Each student’s test is constrained to ensure coverage of the full range of appropriate grade level content, e.g., ELA test cannot consist of only Reading Informational items.
• The exposure of test questions to many students is constrained to maintain test security.
• Sets of test questions based on a common passage or stimulus constrains the ability to adapt within the set.
• The responses must be machine-scored to select the next question.
• Human-scored performance task responses are combined later with the CAT results.
132015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Scoring the CAT• As a student progresses through the test, his or her pattern of
responses is tracked and revised estimates of the student’s ability are calculated.
• Successive test questions are selected to increase the precision about the level of achievement given the current estimate of his or her ability.
• Resulting scores from the CAT portion of the test are based the specific test questions selected as a result of the student’s responses, but NOT the sum of the number answered correctly.
• The test question pools for a particular grade level are designed to include enhanced pool of test questions that are more or less difficult for that grade but still matching the test blueprint for that grade.
142015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Human Scored Items in the CAT• Some items administered on the Smarter Balanced
adaptive test component require human scoring of items
• The adaptive algorithm will select these items based on performance on prior items.
• Since these items cannot be scored in real time by a human, performance on these items will not impact later item selection.
152015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Performance Tasks (PTs)• In all Smarter Balanced tests, a PT and a set of
stimuli on a given topic are administered as well as the CAT.
• PTs are administered at the classroom/group level so they are not targeted to students’ specific ability level.
• The items associated with the PTs may be scored by machine or by human raters.
162015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Final Scoring• For each student, the responses from the PT and CAT portions are
merged for final scoring.• Resulting ability estimates are based on the specific test questions that a
student answered, not the total number of items answered correctly.• Higher ability estimates are associated with test takers who correctly
answer difficult and more discriminating items.• Lower ability estimates are associated with test takers who correctly
answer easier and less discriminating items.• Two students will have the same ability estimate if they have the same
set of test questions with the same responses.• It is possible for students to have the same ability estimate through
different response patterns• This type of scoring is called “Item Pattern Scoring.”

Final Scoring: Contribution of CAT and PT Sections

Grade CAT PT CAT PT3–5 38–41 5–6 31–34 2–66–8 37–42 5–6 30–34 2–611 39–41 5–6 33–36 2–6
182015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Final Scoring: Contribution of CAT and PT Sections
(cont.)• Based on the test blueprint, the CAT section is emphasized
because there are more CAT items/points than PT items/points.
• Claims with more items/points are emphasized.– Mathematics: Concepts and Procedures Problem
Solving/Modeling and Data Analysis Communicating Reasoning
– ELA: Reading Writing Speaking/Listening Research• Because scores are based on pattern scoring, groups of items
that are more difficult and discriminating will have a larger contribution on final scores.
• Therefore there is no specific weight associated with either PT or CAT Sections
192015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Final Scoring: Mapping• After estimating the student’s overall ability, it is mapped
onto the reporting scale through a linear transformation.• Mathematics:
– Scaled Score = 2514.9 + 79.3 * • ELA:
– Scaled Score = 2508.2 + 85.8 *• Limited by grade level lowest and highest obtainable
scaled score
202015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Properties of the Reporting Scale• Scores are on a vertical scale.
– Expressed on a single continuum for a content area– Allows users to describe student growth over time
across grade levels• Scale score range
– ELA/Literacy: 2114–2795– Mathematics: 2189–2862
• For each grade level and content area, there is a separate scale score range.

Measurement Precision:Error Bands
• For each scale score estimated for a student, there is measurement error associated with each score. An error band is a useful tool that describes the measurement error associated with a reported scale score.
• Error bands are used to construct an interval estimate corresponding to a student’s true ability/proficiency for a particular content area with a certain level of confidence.
• The error bands used to construct interval estimates were based on one standard error of measurement. – If the same test is given to student multiple times, about
68 percent of the time, the student will score within this band.
282015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Achievement Levels for Claims• Achievement Levels for claims are very similar to
subscores. They provide supplemental information regarding a student’s strengths or weaknesses.
• No achievement level setting occurred for claims.• Only three achievement levels for claims were developed
since there are fewer items within each claim.• Achievement levels for claims are based on the distance a
student’s performance on the claim is from the Level 3 proficiency cut.
• A student must complete all items within a claim to receive an estimate of his or performance on a claim.
292015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Achievement Levels for Claims (2)
• A student’s ability, along with the corresponding standard error, are estimated for each claim.
• The student’s ability estimate for the claim is compared to the Level 3 proficiency cut .
• Differences between and greater than 1.5 standard errors of the claim would indicate a strength or weakness.

Important Reminder
The data available in the CAASPP ORS represents partial and preliminary results that are not appropriate for public release. As a real-time system, results will change as additional data is received and relevant appeals and rescores are processed. These changes may result in final scores being higher or lower than the preliminary results posted to this system. The California Department of Education (CDE) recommends that data from the ORS only be released publically following the state-level release of assessment data that occurs in August.
542015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
ORS Summary• The Online Reporting System (ORS) is a Web-based
system that displays score reports and completion data for each student who has taken the following California assessments:– Smarter Balanced tests in ELA or mathematics– CSTs for Science– CMA for Science – CAPA for Science– STS for RLA
• CAASPP Test Site Coordinators will have access to ORS in August. They will be able to view test results for students enrolled in their entity.
552015 Post-Test Workshop: Reporting Summative Assessment Results
Viewing ORS Reports1. From the Select drop-down list, select the LEA or
school whose reports you want to view. – A list will appear only if you are associated with more
than one school or LEA.2. Select [Score Reports].
Note: All score report data, except for individual students’ score reports, can be disaggregated into subgroups for detailed analysis. For example, an LEA CAASPP Coordinator can view a Grade 5 Mathematics report for an LEA. A CAASPP Test Site Coordinator would be able to view Grade 5 Mathematics for his or her school site only.
