2. Proposed Mariposa Benchmarking Plan
One time, just to sample my 6th graders,
I gave them a 100 question Scantron.
I read them the ANSWERS.
All they had to do was mark the correct bubble.
On average, they
missed 6-8 answers,
even though they
were given only answers
10. Proposed Mariposa Benchmarking Plan
From CDE:
“Signaling the state's commitment to the deeper learning and
critical thinking embedded in the Common Core State Standards
(CCSS), Assembly Bill 484, sponsored by Torlakson and
authored by Bonilla, D-Concord, now calls for nearly all of the
decade-old Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)
program to be suspended during field tests of new
assessments known as the Measurement of Academic
Performance and Progress (MAPP). The bill calls for the new
program to permanently replace STAR tests in the 2014-15
school year.”
11. Proposed Mariposa Benchmarking Plan
Providing a consistent experience for our students
“As originally written, the bill—based on recommendations
from Torlakson—would have continued all federally required
STAR tests for one more year during the transition. The
revised legislation now calls for a full suspension of STAR
tests in mathematics and English-language arts, while
leaving science tests in place. The legislation also leaves in
place voluntary primary language assessments and
specialized assessments for students with severe
disabilities.”

13. Proposed Mariposa Benchmarking Plan
“In states like California that will be field-testing more sophisticated and useful
assessments this school year, the Department has offered flexibility to allow
each student to take their state’s current assessment in English language arts and
math or the new field tests in those subjects. That’s a thoughtful approach as
states are transitioning to new standards,” Duncan said. “While standards and
tests may not match up perfectly yet, backing away entirely from accountability
and transparency is not good for students, parents, schools and districts.”
Duncan did not hint at how or how much California would be penalized if it
suspends state tests without a federal waiver. Ritsch said the federal
government may withhold money it gives the state for testing and perhaps
other funding.
AND THEN THIS HAPPENED
14. Proposed Mariposa Benchmarking Plan
Torlakson’s response 9/10/13
Torlakson, however, was unfazed and indicated he
had no plans to amend the bill to meet the conditions
of a waiver it has not yet sought, spokesman Paul
Hefner said Monday night. “California has yet to
receive guidance from the feds as to what would be
acceptable,” said Hefner. The state had no inkling
Duncan’s statement was coming, he said.
15. This situation is reminiscent of Hank Stram’s famous Superbowl quote:
“Watch screen
watch draw
watch reverse......”
<he smiles>
“Heck, watch everything!”

We’ll be selecting
one of these later this Fall,
after testing them with staff.
Each program has various
strengths and features.
