The Mathematics COE

1. The Mathematics COE Anton Jackson Lesley Klenk Amanda Mount

2. Topics • Welcome and Introductions • Policies • Guidelines • Preparing for Submission • Webinars • Committee Work • Contact Information WERA, December 2012

3. New Math COE Specialist We are pleased to announce that Kim Andersen is joining our COE team in December 2013. • Expertise as a high school mathematics teacher • District experience as a Mathematics and Science TOSA developing assessments aligned with the K-8 mathematics state standards • An understanding of the Math COE as a Math COE scorer WERA, December 2012

4. 12th grade submission policy addendum for 2012-2013 submissions 12th grade students only • May submit a COE (Math, Reading and/or Writing) after taking and not passing an EOC or HSPE one time. • The student must have a score report that indicates their eligibility to submit. 11th grade or below • Must take and not pass a HSPE or an EOC two times before being eligible to submit a COE. WERA, December 2012

5. Additional 12th grade Submission Requirement Mathematics Year 1 and Year 2 • A 12th grade student may attempt and not pass either a Year 1 or a Year 2 EOC in order to be eligible to submit a COE. • The Math COE submitted may be in either Year 1 or Year 2. WERA, December 2012

6. Eligibility • The Math COE electronic process indicates the student’s eligibility status. • Any student may begin work on a COE but must be eligible in order to submit the COE. • Plan ahead and address any eligibility concerns now. • Transfer students must have paperwork processed and approved prior to receiving direct access to the COE. WERA, December 2012

7. Stipend • The COE stipend for eligible and sufficient collections continues to be $200. • The districts receive the stipend in their apportionment check approximately two months after the submission date. WERA, December 2012

8. COE Class as the Third Math Credit A COE class may count as the third math credit for those students who have not yet met standard on the state assessment and are working to develop a collection. The class has to meet two criteria: • Is rigorous high school level math • Is not the same as the original Algebra/Geometry class A new course code is required to qualify for the 3rd math credit (02999). WERA, December 2012

9. Math Guidelines must be met before submission • Must contain no fewer than six and no more than eight work samples • Two on-demand work samples • Each reporting strand in Mathematics Year 1 and Mathematics Year 2 must be represented at least two times in the collection • At least two representations of each of the Process and Course Specific PEs are also required for a sufficient Mathematics Year 1 or Mathematics Year 2 collection. WERA, December 2012

10. Work Sample Documentation Form • When the collection is ready to be submitted, a work sample documentation form will be created online for each student. • The work sample documentation form must be printed out and included with the student's collection. • All of the work samples that are listed on the work sample documentation form must be included in the submitted collection. • The work sample documentation form must be signed by the student. WERA, December 2012

11. Inclusion Bank • Inclusion tasks have been created and reviewed a number of times by a team of math teachers and education professionals throughout the state. • Each task has been aligned to our state mathematics standards, meets the required cognitive complexity, is unbiased, and provides for the required reporting strand and performance expectations. • Inclusion tasks are the only tasks to be included in student collections. • Inclusions tasks can be found on the COE website at: http://www.coe.k12.wa.us/domain/10. WERA, December 2012

12. What is “Appropriate Teacher Assistance”? • Assist students with concept development using examples other than the inclusion task. • Illustrate a specific point by using a context different from the inclusion task context. • Encourage students to check their work. • Remind students to edit and revise their written materials. Extended time responses must continue to be student work rather than group work. All Math COE tasks are secure test materials and must not be shared outside of the classroom. WERA, December 2012

13. What is not appropriate Math COE assistance Inappropriate assistance may include: • Replicating the tasks by simply changing the numbers or the context. • Teaching to the actual task the students has been assigned, including teaching step-by-step strategies specific to that task causing all student work to look the same. • Reviewing the students’ work and marking sections that are incorrect. WERA, December 2012

14. Extended Time Response An “extended time” response is: • Completed over more than one class period or session. • Supervised by a teacher or education professional. • May not be taken home. • Allows the students multiple opportunities for editing and revisions. While there is some opportunity for appropriate teacher assistance the work on the extended response needs to be that of the student. WERA, December 2012

15. What kind of feedback is allowed on extended time? • Extended-time feedback is different than assistance in that it involves one on one work with a student. • Each student gets feedback from a teacher. • Appropriate feedback is helping students through re-teaching and restructuring instruction. • Teachers should not write on the student work samples. WERA, December 2012

16. On-demand work samples • Two tasks or work samples must be ‘On-Demand.’ • These tasks are designed to be completed in a single class period under the supervision of an educator. • Any Inclusion Task may be selected by the teacher or student as ‘On-Demand.’ WERA, December 2012

17. What kind of feedback is allowed on an on-demand task? There should be no feedback or answering student questions on an on-demand task, supervision of the student only. WERA, December 2012

18. Augmentation Students who are eligible to submit a Math COE augmentation collection will be notified after the standard setting committee has recommended a cut score at the end of March. Math COE augmented collections must be submitted by May 1, 2013. WERA, December 2012

19. Math COE Calendar, 2012- 2013 WERA, December 2012

20. The Math COE: Getting close to submission date • Give yourself time to check and recheck your student collections • Double check all student collections for complete paperwork, including all tasks on Work Sample Doc Form. • Identify the two on-demand tasks. • Follow the submission instructions on the COE webpage www.coe.k12.wa.us. • Submission date is February 1, 2013. WERA, December 2012

21. Math collections and barcodes • Barcodes are imprinted on each task to identify the student and the task • Barcodes are unique to each student/task; therefore tasks cannot be copied and given to another student • A few schools were given permission to print tasks before the barcode system became available. If you have tasks that were printed without barcodes, please indicate this by checking the box on the WSDF that says “This collection was printed without barcodes.” Highlighting that line would be very helpful. We will then give those collections special handling to be sure that they can be scanned and scored. WERA, December 2012
