00:0-1	Hello , everyone , Welcome to our ed short session
00:02	on Mississippi Academic Assessments Program , or map . The
00:07	purpose of today's session is to provide information available about
00:11	the 2021 map tests , including blueprints in term assessments
00:16	, testing Windows and remote administration possibilities . In the
00:20	next 10 minutes , we'll be exploring the important areas
00:23	of this year's Mississippi State assessments . The Mississippi Academic
00:31	Assessment Program measures students knowledge , skills and academic growth
00:36	in grades three through eight . All map tests are
00:40	online assessments . English language arts tests for grades three
00:46	through eight . Mathematics for grades three through eight .
00:50	The spring assessment window for map will open on March
00:54	29th , 2021 2 weeks earlier than originally scheduled ,
00:58	but will close as scheduled on May 14th . 2021
01:03	. The English language arts grades three through eight .
01:05	Results are reported through strength reading , literature , reading
01:11	, information , writing and language . The mathematics results
01:15	are reported through the strands indicated below . Grades three
01:19	through five operations and algebraic thinking numbers and operations in
01:24	base . 10 numbers and operations , fractions , measurement
01:29	and data geometry . Grades six through seven ratios and
01:35	proportional relationships . The number system expressions and equations ,
01:41	geometry , statistics and probability Grade eight . The number
01:47	system expressions and equations , functions , geometry , statistics
01:53	and probability . The following item types are seen in
02:00	the map . English language arts assessments performance task closed
02:06	ended items multiple choice static multiple choice multi select multiple
02:13	choice dynamic open ended items , multi select table ,
02:19	select test drag and drop matching two part along with
02:26	the above . These additional item types can be seen
02:29	in the map Math assessments , graphing line graphs ,
02:34	graphing bar graphs type in the text . Mississippi Academic
02:42	assessments are conducted in two sessions for both math and
02:46	English language arts . During the testing window for the
02:50	map , E . L . A students will complete
02:53	online operational items and online field test items in Session
02:58	one . An online operational performance task in session two
03:04	. Session one items and the session to Performance Task
03:07	are combined as a single assessment . They're not separate
03:10	and are not scored as separate assessments . Students are
03:14	given one total score , beginning with the 2019 2020
03:19	l a test administration . There will not be a
03:22	field performance task . Session three has been eliminated .
03:28	Districts have two options when administering the map . E
03:31	l . A . A one day assessment with session
03:34	one in the morning and session two in the afternoon
03:38	. A two day assessment with Reading Session one scheduled
03:42	for one day and writing session to scheduled for a
03:46	second day . Please note that Session one should be
03:49	administered only after Session two is concluded . The performance
03:54	Task session of the map L Assessment will be timed
03:59	. Students will complete the performance tasks within the 75
04:02	minutes guideline for grades three through eight and English too
04:09	. For the map Mathematics testing Windows students will complete
04:13	operational items , operational performance tasks , field test items
04:18	and field test performance tasks . Session one items and
04:23	the session to performance tasks are combined as a single
04:27	assessment . They are not separate and are not scored
04:31	as separate assessments . Students are given one total score
04:35	. Once students have completed the Multiple choice Operational slash
04:40	embedded field test items and have submitted their session one
04:44	responses , they will use their original Nextera log in
04:48	information to complete the session to performance tasks . Districts
04:53	have two options when administering the map math . Because
04:57	the performance task contains a field test performance task and
05:01	an operational performance task . It will be given as
05:04	a separate session session 2 may be administered on the
05:08	same day as Session one or on any day following
05:12	session one . Within the testing window , students will
05:16	have 70 minutes in grades three through five and 90
05:19	minutes in grades six through eight and Algebra one .
05:22	To complete the performance tasks , Mississippi recently announced a
05:29	few policy changes in rating and assessments . All required
05:34	state and federal assessments will be administered as usual ,
05:38	but schools and districts will not receive an A through
05:41	F grading based on test performance . Schools will retain
05:45	their most recent letter grades earned in the 2018 2019
05:49	school year . The other policy changes include allowing third
05:54	graders to be promoted to the fourth grade without a
05:57	passing score on their reading and language arts assessment .
06:01	High schoolers do not have to meet a passing score
06:04	in their end of course tests to meet state high
06:07	school graduation requirements . Performance levels are assigned to students
06:15	taking any map test . A performance level is reported
06:19	in each individual student report . The General Performance Level
06:24	descriptors , or P L . D , are established
06:26	by state board policy as follows Level five advanced students
06:32	at the advanced level consistently perform in a manner clearly
06:36	beyond that required to be successful in the grade or
06:39	course in the content area . Level four proficient students
06:45	at the proficient level demonstrates solid academic performance and mastery
06:49	of the knowledge and skills required for success in the
06:52	grade or course in the content area . Level three
06:57	passing students at the passing level demonstrate general mastery of
07:01	the knowledge and skills required for success in the grade
07:04	or course in the content area level . Two basic
07:09	students at the basic level demonstrate partial mastery of the
07:13	knowledge and skills in the course and may experience difficulty
07:17	in the next grade or course in the content area
07:20	level one minimal students performing below the basic level inconsistently
07:26	demonstrate the knowledge or skills that define basic level performance
07:34	. There are some new tools and resources available to
07:37	educators to help students this academic year . Here are
07:40	few equipped . Booklist supports educators in making instructional decisions
07:47	around the Mississippi College and career readiness standards while promoting
07:51	literacy that acknowledges a variety of text types , social
07:56	and emotional learning standards or S e . L .
08:00	New social and emotional learning standards were created in collaboration
08:04	with the Collaborative for Academic Social and emotional learning .
08:09	C A S E l Professional Learning is available to
08:13	help implement standards . The M D E website also
08:17	offers practice tests and test lifts to help students and
08:21	educators prepare for the assessments . The available tests include
08:25	types of items that will appear in the state tests
08:29	. Additionally , the next terror online access allows students
08:33	to navigate the testing system , use the available tools
08:36	and features and familiarize themselves with the testing experience .
08:41	Few commercially available programs also offer realistic Mississippi academic assessments
08:46	practice , helping prepare students for the tests . They
08:51	provide rigorous practice and targeted remediation support . They follow
08:56	the recent blueprints and also include all the item types
08:59	seen in the actual assessments . These available items can
09:03	also be used as bell ringers in classroom work to
09:06	make them easier for students along with planned instruction .
09:13	Two types of scores are used to report student results
09:16	for the Mississippi Academic Assessment Program , raw scores and
09:21	scale scores . These scores are used to identify the
09:25	strengths and weaknesses of students and groups of students on
09:29	the map tests . They also determine individual student achievement
09:33	in the learning standards specified for each subject . Raw
09:37	scores are these . Some of the core points answered
09:40	correctly . They are used to derive other scores ,
09:44	which are described below . A raw score by itself
09:48	has no meaning . Because tests may differ in content
09:51	and difficulty , raw scores across tests cannot be compared
09:55	directly . Scale scores facilitate conversions to performance levels .
10:01	It is given only if the student attains a valid
10:04	raw score on the test . If a valid raw
10:07	score is not attained , a code appears . Instead
10:10	of a scale score scale scores have several advantages over
10:15	raw scores . They can be compared from year to
10:18	year and from form to form scale . Scores are
10:21	not comparable across subjects . For example , mathematics slash
10:25	algebra one and English language arts slash english , too
10:30	. We hope this was helpful . It is now
10:32	time for our Q and A sections . Feel free
10:35	to share your questions in the comments . Thank you
10:37	for joining us today in our ed short session on
10:40	2021 map . We will return soon with more updates
