New York State Alternate Assessment (NYSSA) Standard Setting Report (June 11-13, 2014, Albany, New York)
New York State Education Department
The purpose of this report is to summarize the activities of the standard-setting meeting for the New York State Alternate Assessment (NYSAA) in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics (Grades 3-8 and High School), science (Grades 4, 8, and High School), and social studies (High School). The NYSAA standard-setting meeting was held on June 11 through 13, 2014. In all, there were 11 panels with 102 panelists participating in the process. The body of work method was used for setting standards for the NYSAA. In the body of work method, panelists are presented with samples of actual student work (in this case, student data folios) and make their judgments based on those samples. Specifically, panelists examine each student data folio and, based on their common understanding of the Alternate Performance Level Descriptors (APLDs), determine which performance level best matches the evidence that the student exhibits through his or her performance on the assessment. The following information is contained in this report: (1) Description of Standard-Setting Methodology; (2) Tasks Completed Prior to the Standard- Setting Meeting; (3) Tasks Completed during the Standard-Setting Meeting; and (4) Tasks Completed after the Standard-Setting Meeting.
