Mathematics Collection of Evidence (COE)

Anton JacksonMathematics Assessment Specialist




What is the COE?

• A legislatively approved alternative to the WASL that is comparable in rigor to the WASL; WASL is still the standard for assessing a student’s skills and knowledge

• One way a student can meet requirements for a Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA)

• Designed for students who have the skills and knowledge assessed on the WASL




What’s in a COE• Student work samples developed over time in

academic and/or career and technical classes• Each work sample demonstrates both

mathematical content and process• The work is aligned to the grade 10 Essential

Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs), Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) and Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL)




Student Participation – June 2008

• 2,705 Mathematics COE received• 2, 670 eligible collections– Ineligible: no WASL score, unenrolled,

no form for out-of-state/country student

• 2,662 scored collections– 4 failed sufficiency 1 checks (signatures, forms)– 4 failed sufficiency 2 checks (< 8 work samples)




Student Participation – June 2008• By grade:– 9th – 7 students*– 10th – 84 students*– 11th – 1,606 students– 12th – 965 students

• By population:– Special Education – 180 students– Bilingual/ELL – 194 students– Low Income – 999 students

*small n count




Student Participation – June 2008• By ethnicity:– American Indian/Alaska Native – 78 students*– Asian – 117 students– Black/African American – 140 students– Caucasian/White – 1,810 students– Hispanic/Latino – 470 students– Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander – 13 students*– Not Provided – 8 students*– Multiracial – 26 students*

*small n count




Student Proficiency – June 2008

• Proficiency– The student has demonstrated what students

should know and be able to do in that subject and grade based on the state standards

• Earned 78 or more points (out of 128 possible) on their Mathematics COE

COE Scoring Program




Strand Scores – June 2008• Mean strand scores (out of 16 possible)– Number Sense – 12.48– Measurement – 11.56– Geometric Sense – 10.17– Probability and Statistics – 11.82– Algebraic Sense – 12.45– Solves Problems/Reasons Logically – 11.29– Communicates Understanding – 11.47– Makes Connections – 6.34




Collections with Strand Scores of 0

• June 2008 (out of ~2,700 COEs) – Number Sense – 0– Measurement – 2– Geometric Sense – 2– Probability and Statistics – 6– Algebraic Sense – 4– Solves Problems/Reasons Logically – 4– Communicates Understanding – 4– Makes Connections – 256




Makes Connections – June 2008• Those COEs with MC strand score of 0– Majority came from 6 school districts• 184 out of the 256 (See District Score Report)

– Number of MC tasks in these 256 collections• 0 MC tasks: 74 collections (0 possible strand points)• 1 MC task: 118 collections (8 possible strand points)• 2 MC tasks: 60 collections (16 possible strand points)• 3 MC tasks: 4 collections (16 possible strand points)




June 2008 to February 2009

• COEs with MC strand score of 0– Mean COE score of 70.83– 95 meet standard (37.1% of 256)– 44 are eligible to augment in February

(27.3% of 161 who did not meet standard)

• All COEs– Mean COE score of 87.60– 1,876 meet standard (69.6% of 2, 697)– 285 are eligible to augment in February
