What distinguishes standards-based grading systems from standards-referenced grading systems? In standards-based grading systems, the goal is for students to demonstrate proficiency of a standard by taking competency exams based on the standard; in standards-referenced grading systems, the goal is for students to demonstrate understanding on varied assessments that are standard-agnostic. In standards-based grading systems, school administrators determine which standards the learning outcomes will be based on, while in standards-referenced grading systems, teachers create learning outcomes based on given standards. In standards-based grading systems, students are to meet a defined level of proficiency for the standard; in standards-referenced grading systems, the goal is for students to demonstrate proficiency of learning outcomes based on specific standards.

In standards-based grading systems, students are to meet a defined level of proficiency for the standard; in standards-referenced grading systems, the goal is for students to demonstrate proficiency of learning outcomes based on specific standards.

What distinguishes the assessments in a standards-based grading system from those of a traditional grading system? In traditional grading systems, the time required to analyze assessment data is significantly greater; in standards-based systems, students receive instant performance feedback. In traditional grading systems, the number of possible points varies by assessment; in standards-based systems, the proficiency scale remains the same, regardless of the assessment. In traditional grading systems, students understand how to improve with simple feedback; in standards-based systems, complex feedback is required to understand assessment scores. In traditional grading systems, performance tasks are typical; in standards-based systems, educators use constructed response assessments.

How is the point-scoring method used in assessing student learning? It is used to determine the percentage of available points a student earned on sections of a test, which is translated into a score on a proficiency scale. It is used to arrive at a proficiency score by calculating the total points scored on all assessments during a testing period. It is used to average scores earned on a series of tests to determine either a passing grade or a failing grade. It is used to assign each student a starting benchmark score and allows the score to increase or decrease based on progress.

The student will recognize and recall facts from the text.

A team of fifth-grade teachers are reviewing the following math standard and are creating a proficiency scale for the measurement topic of fractions: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NF.A.2: "Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators (e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem)" (Common Core State Standards Initiative, 2021). Which proficiency scale statement corresponds to target level 3.0 proficiency for the given measurement topic? The student will solve addition and subtraction word problems involving fractions. The student will create and solve detailed word problems involving fractions. The student will, with help, describe a fraction. The student will explain the concept of adding and subtracting fractions to others.

The student will solve addition and subtraction word problems involving fractions.

How are proficiency scales used in an assessment system? They can be created in a generic form to measure all standards. They can be combined with traditional letter grades A-F to measure student progress toward various standards. They can help students determine their own progress toward different standards. They can determine whether a student is proficient at a single level.

They can help students determine their own progress toward different standards.

What is one benefit of using parallel assessments in the classroom? They allow for peer grading to increase instructional time. They are easier to grade than other forms of assessment. They help guide instruction to increase student progress. They can be used in the place of summative assessments.

They help guide instruction to increase student progress.

How do measurement topics guide the assessment development process? They help evaluate student responses. They help identify content and skills to be tested. They help direct the development of focus statements. They help establish teaching strategies.

They help identify content and skills to be tested.

What is the purpose of the different levels used in proficiency scales? They help teachers specify exactly what students at each level should be able to do. They ensure that all students will move to the highest level at some point. They allow students to self-assess since the levels describe exactly what students should be able to do. They correspond directly with the traditional letter grades.

They help teachers specify exactly what students at each level should be able to do.

What is one characteristic of parallel assessments? They are more reliable than traditional assessments. They can be administered once to measure student progress effectively. They assess students informally. They remove some measurement error from observed scores.

They remove some measurement error from observed scores.

A high school mathematics teacher has completed the assessment blueprint and is now writing assessment items for the given measurement topic, standard, and proficiency scale: Measurement Topic: Geometric Theorems Standard 4, Geometry. GLE: HS.G-SRT.B. "Similarity, Right Triangles, and Trigonometry: Prove theorems involving similarity" 3.0 The student will explain how theorems involve similarity. Which item corresponds to target level 3.0 on the proficiency scale? Create a table of geometry terms classified by their functions within theorems related to trigonometry Construct a diagram with right triangles and notations that demonstrates the connection between theorems and trigonometry Write a few paragraphs discussing theorem relationships among similarity, right triangles, and trigonometry Develop a vocabulary list of geometry terms relevant to theorems, similarity, and trigonometry

Write a few paragraphs discussing theorem relationships among similarity, right triangles, and trigonometry

A theater teacher is creating a blueprint for an assessment on a measurement topic, reading and writing scripts, based on the proficiency scale for the following corresponding standard: NC Theater Arts: B.AE.1: "Understand how to read and write scripts that communicate conflict, plot, and character" 2.0 The student will demonstrate a basic understanding of the elements of conflict, plot, and character in scripts and write a script that includes a conflict, plot, and characters. Which assessment task could this teacher include in the assessment blueprint to assess level 2.0 proficiency? Writing a full-length script that uses the literary techniques of conflict, plot, and character Creating and presenting an original script that showcases the literary Completing multiple-choice items related to conflict, plot, and character development Writing a short script that includes the conflict of two characters arguing

Writing a short script that includes the conflict of two characters arguing

Which equation represents the relationship between a student's observed score and true score on an assessment? observed score = true score + error score error score = true score + observed score true score = observed score + error score true score = error score - observed score

observed score = true score + error score
