Using Lexile® and Quantile® Measures to Prepare for the New School Year
The new school year will be here before you know it! To assist schools and educators as they anticipate potential achievement and curricular demands, the Office of Student Assessment (OSA) partnered with MetaMetrics to populate students’ project Lexile and Quantile measure. In anticipation of releasing this data in early fall, OSA and MetaMetrics are offering several training sessions to calibrate educators’ understanding of Lexile and Quantile measures. Check out this flyer for dates, times, and topics!
Changes in Standards and Assessment
The Indiana Academic Standards (IAS) were updated for the 2020-2021 school year and will soon be integrated into curriculum plans. But what does that mean for assessment? Currently, assessments are comprised of items aligned to 2014 IAS. Take a look at the image below to see the timeline of integrating the updated standards into state assessments.
