Test
scores to arrive this month; schools to get NCLB data during summer
Tests
scores from the SAT-10 norm-referenced tests administered this spring in
grades 3-8 and grade 11 will begin arriving back in school district offices
the week of May 21, according to information from the scoring contractor,
Harcourt Assessment,
San Antonio.
Schools
should watch for information from DOE during the summer regarding their scores
on the NCLB standards-based items. DOE intends to make the NCLB data
available to schools so that they can review individual student status in both
reading and math. New web-based tools are being piloted that will enable
schools to tie student performance data to demographic data for multiple
analyses.
In
addition, DOE will analyze the NCLB test scores over the summer in order to
release the annual web-based South Dakota Report Card in August. The
Report Card will again be published on DOE’s website and will include
report formats that districts can use to print the school’s report card for
distribution to parents and community per NCLB regulations. |
