Assessment Overview

State Required Assessments

Michigan has an innovative and comprehensive system of assessments to measure student achievement in learning our state content standards. These standards outline what educators believe students should know and be able to do in certain subjects and grade levels to be career and/or college-ready upon high school graduation.

• Grades 3-7
• M-STEP Summative
• ELA
• Math
• Science (5th grade only)

• Social Studies

State Assessments

Grades 9-12

• Grades 9-10

Questions

Elementary

• Why do ELA MSTEP scores look so different in lower elementary than the other grades?

​

• Why are math MSTEP scores higher than ELA MSTEP scores?

Action Steps

Elementary - Tier 1 ELA

• How much time is being allocated to Tier 1 ELA instruction?
• Updated daily schedules
• Updated MTSS intervention

​

• What are we using instructionally for foundational reading skills?
• Heggerty Phonics - Bridges to Reading
• Investment in consistent literacy resources across Y5-6

​

​

Action Steps

Elementary - Tier 1 ELA

​

• How are we supporting teachers instructionally?
• Early Literacy Coach continues this year
• MTSS/UDL Coach in each building
• Additional Data Day at each building
• K - 5 literacy training at MISD

​

​

Action Steps

Elementary - Tier 2/Tier 3 ELA

• How are we providing support to students identified as T2/T3?
• High Dosage Tutoring
• MTSS/UDL Coach to coordinate intervention

​

• How are supporting interventionists?
• Weekly building meetings
• Monthly District wide meetings

​

​

​

Questions

Secondary

• SAT-EBRW Scores continue to be above or at state/county levels, but how do we get back to pre-COVID scores?

​

• SAT-Math scores continued a downward trend despite state/county staying the same or increasing - how do we begin to change this trajectory?

​

• M-Step Science and Social Studies scores have been the same or better than pre-COVID scores, how do we continue to improve?

Action Steps

Secondary - ELA

Pros:

​

• %Proficient and advanced has been above state and county levels 7 years.

​

Potential Concerns:

• EBRW Scores are still below pre-Covid levels - this is a state and county concern as well.

​

Next Steps:

• Remodeled MICIP plans to address learning loss and getting students comfortable with state assessment (secondary)
• Have already provided ELA courses opportunities to look at the new digital SAT and setup
• Continue to look at articulation among PLC’s and grade levels at the secondary level.

Action Steps

Secondary - Math FHS

Pros:

• Aside from 22-23, we have been fairly consistent with state and county trends.
• We remain, as we have historically, a divider in terms of north and south Macomb in terms of scores.

​

​

​

Potential Concerns:

• 22-23 continued a post-COVID downward trend in math score and proficiency despite state and county remaining the same or increasing.
• FHS, state, and county scores are all well below pre-COVID scores.

Action Steps

Secondary - Math FHS (continued)

Next Steps:

​

• Held a math data day to analyze this data and consider possible items to focus on:
• Student engagement has been very low in math post-COVID
• Portions of the curriculum were not covered as fully with the past three years’ cohorts as they suffered much learning loss from the COVID experience.
• The department previous to COVID had SAT “Bootcamp” two weeks prior to the test. The implementation of a new curriculum changes that.
• Post-Covid, a large portion of students were not doing work on time as the CBE model allowed them to assess throughout the whole semester. This caused a great deal of students to be behind and struggle to catch up.

​

• The math department has dedicated to 3 goals decided at the data day:
• Incorporate continual SAT strategies and practice (have met twice after school to work on this)
• Define methods of engagement among the PLC and monitor its effectiveness.
• Spiral most common math topics from SAT within the levels of courses.

Action Steps

Secondary - Math FHS (continued)

Next Steps:

​

• Begin to use more prescriptive resources from enVision in the Tier 3 courses.
• Redesigned CBE grading process to allow for interim assessment deadlines to help students stay on pace.
• Align practices 7-12
• Utilize our math instructional coach in focused observation cycles.
• Remodeled MICIP plans to address learning loss and getting students comfortable with state assessment (secondary)

Action Steps

Secondary - Math RMS

Pros:

• Scores are steady and comparable to state and county levels
• Post-COVID scores are above or at pre-COVID scores

​

Possible Concerns:

• Avoiding a dip while transitioning to a new curriculum
• Math 8 scores are steady; however, they are lower, generally, than Math 7

​

Next Steps:

• Getting the RMS math team trained in the new curriculum
• Utilizing our math instruction coach to do focused observation cycles and help keep continuity vertically and horizontally
• Continual focus on engagement practices to keep the positive trend going

Action Steps

Secondary - Science/Social Studies

Pros:

• Scores are at or better than pre-COVID numbers.
• Almost all levels have 2 years of positive trends
• Closing gap with state and county.

​

Possible Concerns:

• How do we make sure we maintain the positive trends of the past two years?

​

Next Steps:

• Begin stages of looking at a curriculum for the science department to have a tighter clear and viable curriculum.
• RMS SS has continued its integration of Discovery Education curriculum
• FHS will continue to focus on performance tasks integrated into their units of study with a focus on the C3 and NextGen frameworks;
