aimsweb. Plus overview

Why aimsweb. Plus? • Need for – – – More in-depth, standards-based, diagnostic reporting Common Core alignment Better information for instructional planning Robust assessment of early reading skills Progress monitoring measure of reading comprehension Greater sensitivity to growth • Must continue to – Be brief – Provide a system for goal-setting and progress monitoring – Be easy to administer and interpret

What is aimsweb. Plus? • New system of assessments, scheduled for release January 2015 • All the benefits of aimsweb, plus – Additional layer of CCSS-aligned, diagnostic assessment – Online testing for grades 2 -12 (except oral fluency) – Instructionally relevant • Strengths and weaknesses by CCSS • Lexiles • Quantiles • Uses the new aimsweb reporting system—alternative subscription to the original aimsweb

aimsweb. Plus structure • Screening/benchmark assessment—three times a year – Part 1: Maintains the unique qualities of brief, timed CBM • Efficient— 1 to 10 minutes • Generalizable, predictive • Highly sensitive to change/growth – Part 2: Brief, diagnostic assessment • Aligned to Common Core • Untimed so students answer all items • Yields strengths/weaknesses; informs instruction and intervention – Administered online for grades 2+ – Total administration time 20 -30 minutes • Progress monitoring—as frequently as weekly – Brief, timed CBM measures; “part 1” of the screening – 20 alternative forms per subject and grade level – Administered online for grades 2+

aimsweb. Plus Early Literacy

Phoneme Segmentation The teachers says a word. The student says the individual phonemes, or sounds, of the word in the correct order. • Words chosen based on CCSS requirements • Untimed easier to administer and score. Revised

aimsweb. Plus Reading

Passage Comprehension content and questions were designed to: • measure understanding of informational and literary text • meet a range of CCSS expectations • assess essential literal/recall and higher-level inferential questions about text on grade level The passages • • • Informational Text – 50% Literary Text – 50% All questions reflect CCSS Vocabulary in context Leveled using Pearson’s Reading Maturity Metric

Comprehension Fluency New • New attempt to assess comprehension-based silent reading rate in an ecologically valid and psychometrically sound way • Objectives for the Comprehension Fluency test: – Force the student to try to understand the gist of realistic text as he or she reads. – Use very easy comprehension questions • Purpose of the test is not to measure ability to comprehend • Purpose of the questions is to make the student pay attention • Student doesn’t know what the question will be about, so he/she has to try to understand the entire text – Computer-administered – Correlate well with unspeeded reading comprehension – Sensitive to growth (like Oral Reading) demo
