[Assessment 774] Re: Using Data for Program ImprovementKatrina Hinson KHinson at almanid.comThu Apr 19 19:14:07 EDT 2007
I don't know if anyone has raised this question but one of the things I know myself and the testing coordinator at my school are concerned with is the fact that we don't get to count gains made if a person goes from the M level TABE to the D level TABE. We use versions 9 and 10. I had a student who scored around 9.0 or so on the M level Reading which we question in and of itself in terms of validity. He's at the point where we're supposed to retest him. He'd tested on the D level in math the first time and he's been regularly attending and regulary working on his goals. He went from the 9.0 on the M level test which is moderately hard in reading to a 7.7 on the D level test which is difficult. Because he DROPPED in terms of grade level, it's not counted as a level completion...even though he actually went from M to D...which one would think would also qualify as a level. Has anyone else had this happen and if so, what are your suggestions. Regards, Katrina Hinson
