Multiple Measures Analysis & Presentation
California STAR test and local assessments; results analysis and disaggregations
|
| |
|
This presentation is used to go over the disaggregated reports and results of the
California STAR testing and local multiple measures assessments.
The emphasis is on how to use the assessment results to modify instruction so scores
will improve in the following year.
|
|
Why is the Multiple Measure Analysis and Presentation of Results valuable?
|
| |
|
The Multiple Measures analysis can be used to overcome reliance on a single test to
determine student achievement.
|
|
When disaggregated, student assessment results can be used to zero in on
specific areas to improve instruction. Then next year, and every future year,
students will have been taught better, will know more, and will score higher.
(This will cause long term increases in student achievement.)
|
|
The individual student results can be used to select students for gap-filling
interventions to be provided in addition to day-to-day, grade-level instruction.
(This will provide only short term gains, however, since only the current students
are helped, not any future students.)
|
|
The assessment results can be used to measure, monitor, and improve student achievement.
This information can also be helpful in preparing presentations for staff or the public.
|
|
|
How does it work and what does the school need to provide?
|
| |
|
The school sends a copy of the test results file provided by the state.
DataWORKS programmers upload the data and generate the disaggregated results.
A one-inch binder with results in color along with individual student results
are prepared and shipped directly to the school. Separate binders are prepared
for each school plus a district binder showing school to school comparisons.
|
|
After completing multiple measures calculations and preparing disaggregated
results of the California STAR test and the local assessments, a DataWORKS
researcher comes to present and interpret the results and to provide guidance in the
use of the results to improve student achievement.
|
|
A DataWORKS researcher comes to the site to present the results and to provide guidance
in using the data to improve student achievement. The school must provide a suitable
meeting room with a screen and an overhead projector.
