  3. 2011 Assessment Summary • Minnesota students showed slight improvement in overall reading scores. • Minnesota students in grades 3-8 took new, more rigorous math assessments aligned to higher standards designed to prepare all kids to be career and college ready. • Minnesota students in 11th grade showed improvement in math, reflecting an increased emphasis in recent years on more rigorous math coursework. • We continue to see a persistent disparity in achievement between students of color, students in poverty and their white counterparts. • This achievement gap reflects the urgent need to focus time, attention and resources to ensure all children achieve at high levels. • Strategies outlined in Governor Dayton’s 7 Point Plan, a statewide focus on high standards and meaningful assessment, and continuous efforts by MDE to support effective teaching and learning  aim to close Minnesota’s persistent achievement gap and ensure all students achieve at high levels. 

  4. 2011 Assessments • 2011 Mathematics assessments in grades 3-8 aligned to 2007 Minnesota Academic Standards • Inaugural administration • Increased rigor from 2003 Minnesota Academic Standards • Mathematics Test for English Language Learners was eliminated • Principles incorporated in development of new Mathematics assessments • Most English Learners moved to the Mathematics MCA • 2011 Reading assessments continue to be aligned to 2003 Minnesota Academic Standards

  5. 2011 Assessments • The MCA-Modified allows more students receiving Special Education services to demonstrate what they know and can do • The MCA-Modified results reflect high expectations for students with disabilities. • The MCA-Modified was designed to be a more appropriate measure of mathematics/reading knowledge and skills for some students with disabilities. Students eligible for the MCA-Modified achieved the Does Not Meet the Standards level in previous administrations of the MCA. Some of these students were able to demonstrate achievement levels of Partially Meets, Meets and Exceeds the Standards on this alternate assessment based on modified achievement standards. • Students taking the MCA-Modified must have Standards-based goals in their Individualized Education Programs (IEP). As this best practice is more widely implemented across the state, we anticipate the numbers of students achieving proficiency will increase.

  6. 2011 Assessment Participation • Most students took the MCA, but some special education students took the MCA-Modified or MTAS
