Using Data to Make Decisions Regarding Professional and
Personalized Learning: WV Diagnostic Assessments, Interim Assessments,
and Formative Assessment Resources in the Digital Library
• Stacey Murrell and Terri Sappington, Coordinators, WVDE Office of Assessment
Welcome to theInterim and Diagnostic Assessments Training
Office of Assessment
West VirginiaInterim and Diagnostic Assessments
Dr. Stacey Murrell
Agenda
• Interim Assessments– Interim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs)– Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs)
• What interims are NOT• Purpose of interim assessments• Hand scoring• Reports• Enhancements 2015-2016• WV Diagnostics• What diagnostics are NOT
Interims are NOT
• The tests are NOT required or mandated by WVDE.
• The interims are NOT benchmarks.• There is NOT a WVDE-set or mandated
schedule for administering interims.• There is NOT a WVDE-mandated plan for
aligning curriculum to interims.
Purpose
• The purpose of the WV Interim Assessments is to support teaching and learning throughout the year.– Experience a clone of the summative test– Focus on targets/skills, fewer questions– Receive reports that provide feedback on
assessment claims and targets
• Available for ELA and math, grades 3-11
Question Development
• Developed using the same conditions (like bias and sensitivity), protocols, and review procedures as the West Virginia General Summative Assessment items. – In 2013-2014, 40+ WV teachers wrote 800
questions for the summative and interim item banks.
• This means the interim items assess the WV NxG standards, were designed using principles of Universal Design, and provide evidence to support ELA/literacy and math claims.
Non-public Tests Not Secure
• The interim assessments are not released to the public.
• WVDE purchased interim tests.• The tests are not secure, but they should
be kept offline (consider social media).
Types of Interims
• There are two types of interim assessments. – The Interim Comprehensive Assessments
(ICAs) use the same test blueprints as the WV General Summative Assessment and assess the same standards.
– The Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs) focus on smaller sets of targets and are more flexible to better support instruction.
Interim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs)
• Have the same testing blueprint as the general summative assessment and mirrors the summative testing experience
• Have the same item types and formats, including performance tasks
• Give students an overall scale score, an overall performance level designation, and claim-level information- same as summative student report
• Claim Performance Results are reported as “Below Standard,” At/Near Standard,” and “Above Standard.”
Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs)
• Smaller assessments that focus on sets of targets and can be used to support instruction (approx. 13-18 questions).
• Contain the same item types and formats, including performance tasks, as the general summative assessments.
• Students receive an overall score for the IAB. The results for the IABs are reported as “Below Standard,” “At/Near Standard,” and “Above Standard.”
Administration• Both interim assessment types are
assigned by teachers and taken by students online. – They will use the same delivery software as
the general summative assessments. – Teachers use the WV Assessment Portal.– Students use the WV Student Secure
Browser.
Scoring• Automatic Scoring
– Items that are able to be automatically scored will be scored by the computer.
• Teacher Hand Scoring – Constructed response items and performance task ELA essay/
math performance task response items are not able to be automatically scored; therefore, these items will be scored by teachers using a scoring rubric.
– Teachers will need to complete their hand scoring of the constructed response items and performance task ELA essay/math extended response items before any reports can be generated for both the ICAs and IABs.
• NOTE: The WV General Summative items/essays are hand scored by individuals contracted by the test vendor, not the teachers of the students.

Interim Enhancements for 2015-2016
• The test names are being changed to be more concise, consistent, and clear.
• Students will have unlimited opportunities to practice interim tests.
• Selecting an interim test will “look” different than when selecting a summative test. Less confusing.
WV Diagnostic Assessments
Diagnostics are NOT
• The tests are NOT required or mandated by WVDE.
• They are NOT benchmarks.• There is NOT a WVDE-set or mandated
schedule for administering diagnostics.• There is NOT a WVDE-mandated plan for
aligning curriculum to diagnostics.
Purpose
• The purpose of diagnostic assessments is to provide feedback on students’ performance.
• Reports will have the content standard (WV NxG) that each test question is aligned to and how the class/student answered the question.
WV Diagnostics• Available for grades 3-11• ELA Diagnostics
– Reading Literary Texts– Reading Informational Texts– Research
• Math Diagnostics– Concepts and Procedures– Problem Solving and Modeling & Data Analysis– Communicating Reasoning– Performance Task
Questions Development
• Written by WV teachers using the same item writing specs as the general summative test and interim tests.
• There are 600 diagnostic questions, but that is not as robust as interims.
• We hope to add more diagnostics as we see that teachers and students find them helpful.

Next Steps: Using Interims and Diagnostics
• September 15, 2015 is the “opening” of both.• All embedded designated supports and accommodations
for students, such as text-to-speech will be available to students taking interims.
• Diagnostics only have embedded text-to-speech (P01).• Remember, teachers will have to hand score any
constructed response (ELA and math PTs) and essays (ELA) before reports will appear.
• Principals will have to associate teachers to students for the 2015-2016 year by creating/managing rosters for the Online Reporting System. Must wait until your county has sent WVEIS promotional file and TIDE has uploaded the file.

After Analyzing Interim and Diagnostic Report Results
IAB Block Achievement Class Report
Above Standard
Your test results clearly show that you understand and are able to apply your knowledge to the standards in this content area of your grade.
At/Near Standard
Your test results may be just above or just below the standard, but due to the error band, the result is too close to call.
Below Standard
Your test results clearly show that you have not yet met the standard in this content area for your grade.
