NYST 2020-21 Blueprint and Best Practices | 10 Min. webinar organized by EdShorts - By Lumos Learning
00:0-1 | Mhm . Yeah . Hello , everyone . Welcome to | |
00:13 | our sixth and short session today . We will share | |
00:16 | some available updates about the 2021 New York State tests | |
00:20 | such as the test structure , item types , schedule | |
00:24 | , duration and more . Let's get started . The | |
00:30 | New York grades 3 to 8 math tests consists of | |
00:34 | two sessions administered over two days . Students will be | |
00:37 | provided as much time as necessary to complete each test | |
00:41 | session the students is average time to complete . Each | |
00:44 | session by grade varies from 60 to 90 minutes for | |
00:48 | session one and 72 100 minutes for Session two . | |
00:53 | Similarly , the New York grades 3 to 8 . | |
00:56 | English language arts . Ella tests consists of two sessions | |
01:01 | . These two sessions are administered over two days , | |
01:04 | and students are given enough time to complete them . | |
01:08 | The average test completion time for Session one varies from | |
01:11 | 60 to 90 minutes . It is between 70 to | |
01:15 | 100 minutes . First session to depending on the grade | |
01:18 | level . In the math New York State tests , | |
01:22 | all questions assess students is conceptual understanding , procedural fluency | |
01:27 | and problem solving abilities . Rather than evaluating their knowledge | |
01:31 | of isolated skills and facts , students are required to | |
01:36 | apply mathematical understandings and mathematical practices gained in the classroom | |
01:43 | . The math tests contains multiple choice . One point | |
01:46 | short response to point and extended responds three point questions | |
01:52 | . Some test questions target more than one standard or | |
01:55 | assess an entire cluster . As such , Many individual | |
02:00 | test questions assess September to April standards in conjunction with | |
02:05 | May to June standards from pass grades . The English | |
02:08 | language arts tests contain multiple choice . One point short | |
02:13 | response to point and extended response . Four point questions | |
02:18 | . The New York State ELA tests assess reading , | |
02:21 | writing and language standards . The questions in these sections | |
02:25 | are based on the close reading of informational and literary | |
02:28 | texts , including paired texts . All texts will be | |
02:32 | chosen from grade level appropriate sources . Given that the | |
02:36 | spring 2020 tests did not have any time limits , | |
02:40 | it is expected that in 2021 spring tests that also | |
02:43 | might be the case . Schools and districts can choose | |
02:46 | to create their approach to ensure that all students get | |
02:49 | sufficient time within the regular school days is confined to | |
02:53 | continue and complete the tests . New York State tests | |
02:57 | can be administered as both p BTS paper based tests | |
03:00 | or C B . T s computer based tests . | |
03:04 | Only schools that are approved to conduct C B T | |
03:06 | s can continue to administer this year's tests online for | |
03:11 | the operational tests administered to all students during the statewide | |
03:14 | testing administration window in spring , schools have selected a | |
03:18 | format for each grade . If a school is testing | |
03:22 | in grade with CBT , all students must test by | |
03:26 | CBT . The only exceptions are to provide an oral | |
03:30 | translation or alternate language . BBT Edition for the English | |
03:34 | language learners , for whom a translated CBT edition is | |
03:38 | not available from the department or for a student in | |
03:41 | individualized Education program or I E . P or Section | |
03:46 | five oh four Accommodation plan To provide greater flexibility for | |
03:51 | schools , the New York Department of Education offers to | |
03:54 | computer based testing simulation periods to ensure test technology readiness | |
04:01 | . Each simulation period will have a window for schools | |
04:04 | planning to administer operational tests with CBT , in which | |
04:08 | they can participate . The first CBT simulation period was | |
04:12 | from December 9th through the 11th 2020 . The second | |
04:16 | CBT simulation period is from January 12th to January 14th | |
04:20 | , 2021 Approved schools must take part in at least | |
04:25 | one day of either of these two stimulation periods to | |
04:28 | administer the n Y S t as computer based tests | |
04:32 | in spring 2021 . The operational test request will be | |
04:36 | converted to paper based testing if a school fails to | |
04:40 | participate in a simulation on at least one day of | |
04:43 | either of these two CBT simulation periods , the grades | |
04:48 | 3 to 8 math New York tests will now be | |
04:51 | available in three additional languages . Arabic , Bengali and | |
04:55 | Chinese . These languages will be available in P B | |
04:59 | T format only . They will not be available in | |
05:02 | CBT format . Chinese , traditional Haitian , Creole , | |
05:08 | Korean , Russian and Spanish editions of the mathematics tests | |
05:12 | will continue to be available in both CBT and CBT | |
05:15 | format for P B T schools request the number of | |
05:19 | test booklets needed for ELA and mathematics . These are | |
05:24 | shipped in packages of 10 and 25 . The department | |
05:28 | does not provide answer sheets . All schools administering one | |
05:32 | or more grades with P B T must make arrangements | |
05:36 | with a R I C or large city scanning center | |
05:39 | to get the answer sheets . The testing window dates | |
05:46 | for this academic years is New York State . Tests | |
05:49 | for grades 3 to 8 are as follows for English | |
05:53 | language arts . The paper based version , or the | |
05:56 | P B T s , will be administered between Tuesday | |
05:59 | , April 20th two . Thursday , April 22nd . | |
06:03 | The computer based version , or the C B T | |
06:06 | s , will be administered between Monday , April 19th | |
06:10 | and Monday , April 26th . For mathematics . The | |
06:14 | paper based tests will be administered from Tuesday , May | |
06:17 | 4th through Thursday , May 6th , and the computer | |
06:21 | based tests from Monday May 3rd two Monday , May | |
06:24 | 10th . The performance level descriptions or the P . | |
06:31 | L . D s help communicate the expected proficiency is | |
06:34 | on learning standards that are to be demonstrated by the | |
06:37 | students on the tests to families , educators and the | |
06:40 | public . The P . L . D s also | |
06:43 | have several purposes in classroom instruction and assessment . They | |
06:47 | function as the foundation to establish what students need to | |
06:51 | do to perform at higher levels and explain the progression | |
06:55 | of learning within a subject . They are also crucial | |
06:59 | in explaining student performance on the New York State assessments | |
07:02 | because they connect the scale , score the performance level | |
07:06 | and specific knowledge and skills typically demonstrated at that level | |
07:11 | . New York state assessments are designed to classify students | |
07:14 | based on these performance level descriptions into one of four | |
07:19 | levels based on the knowledge and skills the student has | |
07:22 | demonstrated . These performance levels are defined as follows New | |
07:27 | York state level Four students performing at this level Exelon | |
07:31 | standards for their grade . They demonstrate knowledge , skills | |
07:35 | and practices embodied by the learning standards that are considered | |
07:39 | more than sufficient for the expectations . At this grade | |
07:43 | New York state level , three students performing at this | |
07:46 | level are proficient in standards for their grade . They | |
07:49 | demonstrate knowledge , skills and practices embodied by the learning | |
07:53 | standards that are considered sufficient for the expectations . At | |
07:57 | this grade New York state level , two students performing | |
08:01 | at this level are partially proficient in standards For their | |
08:04 | grade , they demonstrate knowledge , skills and practices embodied | |
08:09 | by the learning standards that are considered partial but insufficient | |
08:13 | for the expectations . At this grade , students performing | |
08:17 | at Level two are considered on track to meet current | |
08:20 | New York high school graduation requirements but are not yet | |
08:24 | proficient in learning standards . At this grade New York | |
08:27 | state level , one students performing at this level are | |
08:31 | below proficient in standards . For their grade , they | |
08:34 | may demonstrate limited knowledge , skills and practices embodied by | |
08:38 | the learning standards that are considered insufficient for the expectations | |
08:42 | at this grade , considering the variability statewide and instruction | |
08:47 | delivery this academic year . In response to covid 19 | |
08:51 | , New York state Education Department is offering more flexibility | |
08:54 | to schools in the local scheduling of the spring 2021 | |
08:58 | operational tests . More information is expected to be provided | |
09:02 | as the test administration dates get closer . And as | |
09:06 | the situation demands , we hope this was helpful . | |
09:09 | It is now time for our Q and A sections | |
