I also wanted to give everyone a heads up about the funding worksheets. Each year, districts and charters receive special literacy distributions and ISAT remediation funds. Recipients must then report on the use of these funds. Superintendents, Charter Administrators, and Business Managers should be on the lookout for communication from Taylor in the coming days with the associated reporting worksheets for the use of last year’s funds.

Hello Idaho! My name is Paul Kleinert, I coordinate the National Assessment of Educational Progress, otherwise known as “the Nation’s Report Card.”
Monthly survey windows
•Once again we reached our reporting goal for the May submission
•Final submission window: June 16 – 29•Two options:
• Normal• Abnormal (pdf file submission)

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Another congratulations go out to Idaho schools that participated in the NAEP surveys this spring. We reached reporting requirements again and will soon receive monthly results as we have in the past. This information is invaluable for the 30,000 foot view of where Idaho and American students were in the last few months. There is one more submission. I know that many contracts have ended or are ending soon so this final submission might be difficult. For those who work on these data and are in the building, please follow the normal route for submitting the data. This is easiest and will provide the best data. Now for the abnormal route: this will be a pdf file submission directly to me.
.pdf file submission
• Instructions sent on 6/2
• Important note:If any column or row adds up to 5 students or fewer, do not include these data.
Assessment & Accountability Webinar – June 2021 | 11
Presenter
Presentation Notes
On June 2nd, I sent out an email to school coordinators detailing the normal and abnormal pdf submission options. Attached to this email, and linked within this email, was a fillable pdf form that can be saved and sent back to me. Here is the important note. We have to be sensitive to rules regarding PII. Any email that is sent to me or any other member of the Superintendent’s office is considered public information. I cannot ask for or receive any information about groups of students less than or equal to five. This includes when the rows or columns which lead to the discovery of 5 students or fewer. For example, you blur 4 students, but then in the same row you have 16 students in another category and a total of 20 students. My instructions for this rule in the email was: Just delete the whole row, column, or section if you can add or subtract to less than five students. If you are in doubt, just delete the data and submit back to me.

Presentation Notes
ACCESS Individual student reports, student roster reports, and school and district frequency reports are now available in WIDA AMS under the Report Delivery tab. Individual student reports can be downloaded in over 40 languages through the WIDA AMS portal. Test coordinators should share these reports with parents and/or guardians in a language that is accessible to them. This will give parents an opportunity to interpret their own child’s performance on the annual English language proficiency assessment. Printed ACCESS reports will be delivered to district offices between June 17th and June 21th. It is best practice to add a copy of a child’s individual student report into their cumulative file.
• ACCESS• Composite Proficiency Level of 4.2 or higher• AND at least a 3.5 PL score or higher in Reading, Writing, and
Listening• AND at least a 1.0 PL score or higher in the Speaking

WIDA AMS will update the WIDA Screener administration year on June 25th, 2021. This means that all outstanding speaking and writing student responses will need to be scored and submitted prior to the yearly update. On June 25th, district administrators will see the “Screener Idaho – 2021-2022” option under the administration field and may begin to create screener sessions for the 2021-2022 school year. Permission-sets for the new 2021-2022 WIDA Screener (Online) administration will be assigned to existing users who currently have access to the Screener administration. It is recommended that district test coordinators log into the WIDA Secure Portal and WIDA AMS and verify that personnel listed in the district, do in-fact still require specific permission-sets to perform their job duties. If staff no longer need a specific permission to fulfill their role, delete the identified permissions.

Assessment & Accountability Webinar – June 2021 | 31
Presenter
Presentation Notes
As I explained during the February Special Education Director’s webinar, our original plan was to conduct standard setting for the new Idaho Alternate Assessments in ELA and math during summer 2021. (click) We had concerns about the validity of standard setting after this spring test administration, so the SDE submitted a waiver to the US Department of Education to not report scores. (click) However, the waiver was denied because IDEA requires that we provide scores for students with disabilities if we provide scores for all other students. More specifically, we have to report scores on the Idaho Alternate Assessment in ELA and Math because we will report scores on the ISAT ELA and Math assessments. So the $64,000 question became, “What scores should we report?” (click) After much deliberation, we decided to report raw scores, or the number of items a student answers correctly. We recognize that reporting raw scores can be problematic. The raw scores cannot be compared across students because the tests are computer adaptive and no two students will have seen the same test items. We are already crafting language to include on the score reports that explain the meaning of the raw scores to parents and teachers. (click) Cambium Assessment, our test vendor, is in the process of designing these reports and they should become available by late August.

Hi everyone! Kevin Chandler here at the department with a few updates for Science.
No Spring 2021 Science ISATs Performance Data in Reporting
•Grade 5, 8, and 11 spring 2021 science ISATs were independent field tests (IFT)
•No overall scale scores or Individual Student Reports (ISRs) available in Reporting
Assessment & Accountability Webinar – June 2021 | 34

Presentation Notes
Remember that the SY20-21 science ISATs in grades 5, 8, and 11 were Independent Field Tests or IFTs. That means that no overall scale scores or Individual Student Reports will be available in Reporting.
State Percent Completion
Presenter
Presentation Notes
And speaking of Reporting, here are the unofficial state percent completion results for the science ISATs. Thank you for working so diligently to test all students – either in-person or remotely.
Summer 2021 Interim Testing
• The summer interim testing window is June 1, 2021 to July 28, 2021.
• Blueprints for the science interims are available on the ISAT Portal.
Materials. • Remember that interim answers keys are secure
documents and should treated as such.

Presentation Notes
Now that summative testing has passed, let’s look toward the future. Remember that we do offer interims during a summer testing window, which is open now until July 28. All resources for interims will still be available, including: Blueprints and Answer Keys. Keep in mind thought, that interim answer keys should be considered secure and treated as such.
•Science interims can be administered in a standardized and non-standardized manner.• Standardized = Test Delivery System (TDS)• Non-Standardized = Assessment Viewing Application
(AVA)•Remote Interim Testing Site on the ISAT Portal.

Two more points about the science interims, remember that they can be administered in a standardized and non-standardized manner. Both TDS and AVA will be available during the summer interim testing window, and we have also resurrected the Remote Interim Testing site on the ISAT Portal. That is the platform students can use to remotely access the interims.

Presentation Notes
Speaking of the Idaho Portal, there are updates on the way. Cambium Assessment Inc, is performing a significant cosmetic update to the Idaho Portal. This update will carry over many of the functionalities already in place, but will streamline and modernize the look and feel of the Idaho Portal. Here are screenshots of the updated Idaho Portal homepage and the Science Assessments page. The url for the Idaho Portal will remain the same, and right now we are expecting a GO LIVE on June 26.
TIDE Rollover to SY21-22
• When TIDE rolls over to SY21-22, all existing users’ passwords will be cleared from the system
• Users will need to request new passwords prior to logging into TIDE for the first time.
• All users should expect an email from the Idaho Help Desk providing clear instructions on how to create a new password.
• Districts should review their list of users and add or delete any users as appropriate.
• All students are deleted from TIDE during the new year rollover process.
• Districts should plan to upload students in August 2021 when TIDE becomes available.
Assessment & Accountability Webinar – June 2021 | 39
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Other tasks that will be completed in preparation for SY21-22 is the TIDE rollover. The TIDE rollover includes the clearing out of ALL passwords for all users. Therefore, you will have to create a new password for SY21-22. Additionally, all students will be cleared out from TIDE. Therefore districts should plan to upload students in August ‘21 when TIDE becomes available. For SY20-21, TIDE availability is scheduled to close on July 28.
Assessment & Accountability Webinar – June 2021 | 40
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Additionally, I want to mention where the SDE is at in deciding on the availability of remote testing for SY21-22. Basically, we have not yet rendered a decision. Now, to be clear, this slide is only in reference to *remote* testing. That functionality is in place currently during the summer interim testing window. For SY21-22, though, remote administration of the interims and the summatives is still to be determined. The SDE is gathering feedback on how remote administration of the summative went during this SY20-21, and we will be using that feedback (along with other data) to render a decision.
Plans for Spring 2022

Spring 2021 ELA/L & Math ISAT Performance Data in Reporting
• Required Summative Testing Grades 3 to 8 & 10• Grades 9 and 11 are optional
• Student performance data should appear in Reporting ~10 days AFTER submission of BOTH the CAT & PT.
• Individual Student Report (ISRs) will have overall scale score.
• Only groups of students will receive Claim level performance data from the Adjusted Form.
Assessment & Accountability Webinar – June 2021 | 44
Presenter
Presentation Notes
To start, student performance data from the ELA/L and math ISATs are flowing into Reporting. Typically, student performance data appears in Reporting approximately 10 days AFTER the student has submitted BOTH the CAT and PT portions of their ISATs. Admittedly, there has been a delay with some grade 5 ELA scores appearing in Reporting. The Idaho SDE has been in contact with our vendors about this scoring delay, and they have assured us that scoring teams are assiduously working to score those grade 5 ELA full writes, asap and make-up for that delay in reporting. As a reminder, ISRs will contain a student’s overall scale score, but Claim level performance data will only appear in Reporting for rosters of students.

Speaking of Reporting, our testing vendor Cambium Assessment has created several PowerPoint training modules that walk you through how to use the basic and advanced features of Reporting. All of the training modules are helpful, but the “How to Drill Down into Your Results by Selecting Previous School Years and Previous Students” PowerPoint is particularly helpful in that it shows you how to “Change Reporting Time Period” to see student performance data from previous school years.

TIDE rollover for SY21-22 is also on the horizon. Remember that passwords will be cleared out so all users will have to create a new password for SY21-22. And as I mentioned before, students will be cleared out from TIDE, so users should plan to upload students into TIDE when it becomes available in August 2021. TIDE availability for SY20-21 will close on July 28, 2021.
Assessment & Accountability Webinar – June 2021 | 54

Presentation Notes
And due to the fact, I have received several questions about remote administration, of the ELA and math ISATs, I want to address those as well. Just like with science, the Idaho SDE is still in the process of deciding if remote administration of the interims and summatives will be available for SY21-22…
Plans for Spring 2022
•Adjusted Blueprint = TBD
Presenter
Presentation Notes
And that decision making process also goes for the use of the Adjusted Blueprints. Recall that in SY20-21, all students were administered tests according to Adjusted Blueprints. As of today, the Idaho SDE is still considering whether to go back to a full blueprint for ELA and math summative ISATs. As soon as those decisions are rendered, we will let you know.

A few reminders… We’ve been talking about these enhancements for a few months now, but just to remind everyone before you go out for the summer. The Web Assembly, Power Path, and new Educator Platform enhancements will be introduced in August. There is a training video for Power Path in our Edmodo platform, and we will announce trainings or resources for the other enhancements as we get them. In the meantime, I suggest utilizing the Interactive User Guide for resources regarding these enhancements- they have a lot of articles and explanations that will be really helpful as these updates are rolled out.
