3 Types of Assessment
Formative
• Ongoing assessments in the classroom to
inform instruction and learning
Interim
• Planned assessments at intervals to make
local decisions at district and school levels
Summative
• Year end large-scale assessments for all
decision making and future reference
4
Formative Assessment
formative assessment n. A process used by teachers
and students during instruction that provides feedback to
adjust ongoing teaching and learning for the purpose of
improving students’ achievement of intended instructional
outcomes.
EAGLE supports Formative Assessment

Teachers use assessment to inform their
instruction. They change and adjust their instruction
based on the needs for each student.

Students use assessment to inform their
learning. They must make adjustments to what they
are learning and they must develop strategies for
learning.
5
Grade-Level Expectations and New Standards
What are Content Standards?



Content Standards are statements that define what a student should
know and be able to do
• at the end of specific time period or grade level
• in a specific subject area
Grade Level Expectations (GLEs)
• Term used in Louisiana for content standards for a specific grade
• Synonymous to “Standards” in Common Core State Standards
CCS ELA vs. GLEs ELA
• GLEs–ELA taught in isolation; Literature and literary skills
(identifying terms and devices like theme)
• CCS–ELA taught in collaboration; Informational texts for College
Career and Readiness (Cross-content literacy integration)

CCS Math – Balanced combination of procedural skill and
understanding; Requires students to “explain” and “justify” rather than
“define” and “identify”
6
Implementation of New Standards
7
Science and Social Studies Standards

Science Content Standards
• Next Generation Science Standards currently under development
by national groups
• Expected release in Spring 2012
• Will be reviewed for appropriateness to replace current Louisiana
science standards; if acceptable, will be adopted in Summer or
Fall 2012 to be implemented in 2014-15

Social Studies Content Standards
• Revised by committees of state educators in 2010-11
• To be considered by BESE for approval in June 2011
• To be implemented in 2014-15

Formative Assessment Strategies
that help Students Learn







Learning Targets—breaking down GLEs into simple
language for students
Examples of strong and weak work.
Progress Monitoring—frequent feedback about how
the student is doing on GLEs
Self-assessment—teaching the student to monitor their
own learning of the GLEs
Focused Learning—customizing instruction to allow
students to focus on difficult GLEs
SELF-REFLECTION—having students write about their
learning of the GLEs
Instructional PLAN—based on available data–have a
plan for each class that covers each and every student

Key Features of EAGLE




Student-friendly GLEs—help students learn what they
are expected to know at their grade level and help
teachers communicate those expectations to students.
Reports for Students—foster student self-assessment
and show students how well they are progressing on each
GLE they’ve been tested | Encourages students to focus
their learning on particular GLEs.
Reports for Teachers—inform teachers how the class as
a whole is progressing AND how individual students are
performing on each GLE.
Customized Test Construction—allows teachers to build
tests based on targeted instruction | customized tests can
be assigned to an individual student or a group of students
14
How to create a Student-friendly
LEARNING TARGET
Example: Grade 5 Math GLE 27

GLE 27—Identify and plot points on a coordinate grid in the first
quadrant.

GLE Student-friendly version: Plot and name points on a coordinate
grid. (Student friendly GLEs are available in EAGLE.)



Word(s) to be defined: ‘coordinate grid’
Definition(s) of word(s) the student may not understand:
A coordinate grid has two perpendicular lines, or axes, labeled like
number lines. The horizontal line is called the x-axis. The vertical
line is called the y-axis. The point where the lines cross is called the
origin. (Show the students a picture with the x- and y-axes and origin
labeled.)
Student-friendly learning target: Have students use “I am learning to
…” statements: “I am learning to plot and name points on an x, y
grid.”

Student Information System
(SIS) File Upload to EAGLE
Fall Registration File = School SIS File
All School SIS Data Collected by District (except RSD, charter, &
NPB)
District SIS File Uploads District SIS Data to EAGLE





SIS is uploaded by the data coordinator to each individual
district at the beginning of each school year
SIS files upload Classes, Teachers, and Students and
establishes their relationships using five different record types
JPAM districts have a utility to generate the upload files
Contact your District Test Coordinator for more information
about your school’s SIS upload
RSD, Charter, & Non Public upload their own SIS files and
must contact the EAGLE Help Desk
