SUMMARY:Balanced Assessment Systems: A Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Balanced Assessment Systems: A Case Study of One District’s Journey to Rebalance their Assessment System for Improved Student Outcomes \nIn the 22-23 school year\, the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) launched the Data Research Learning Network (DRLN) to support districts and counties across the state in innovating their data and assessment practices. The DRLN is organized into three strands: \nDeeper Learning: Accelerate deeper learning through formative assessment practices\, including student agency in the learning process \nData Review: Assess current data and assessment programs to determine opportunities for innovative data-driven strategies \nData Dashboards: Enhance real-time data\, discussions and decisions by end-users who are teachers\, administrators\, and community \nIn this session\, as part of the Deeper Learning strand\, Rincon Valley Union School District (RVUSD) shares their learning experience to create a more balanced system of assessments with a special focus on formative assessment practices in mathematics. \nThe first part of this session focuses on the core concepts of Balanced Assessment Systems and the special role of Formative Assessments\, grounded in the collaborative work of CCEE and the Center for Assessment.  An assessment system is balanced when it is coherent\, comprehensive and continuous\, rooted in a common model of learning. (Center for Assessment\, 2019) This session unpacks these three core concepts and the two additional design considerations of utility and efficiency as districts move to rebalance their assessment systems. (Center for Assessment\, 2019). \nThe second part of this session features the application of the core concepts of Balanced Assessment Systems in Rincon Valley Union School District.  RVUSD district leaders share their learning experience of re-balancing their assessment system\, including the first two steps of conducting a needs assessment and creating an action plan. Special attention is paid to the role of formative assessment practices in the content area of mathematics. \nAfter this session\, participants will leave with a starter toolkit for Balanced Assessment Systems\, consisting of tools for a needs assessment and action plan.  Participants will also have access to CCEE’s MicroLearning courses on Balanced Assessment Systems and Formative Assessments to help start their own innovation journey.  Each micro-courses is divided into different parts containing pre-recorded video presentations that are between 15-25 minutes long\, as well as hyperlinks within the presentation handouts to additional resources and materials. \nRVUSD’s action-oriented research presents initial findings from their first year of participation in CCEE’s Data Research Learning Network\, focusing on formative assessment in mathematics.  Lessons learned center on building district capacity to better balance their system of assessments as bolstered by research conducted by the Center for Assessment in collaboration with CCEE.  The DRLN offers state-level amplification by documenting and disseminating innovative learning experiences to help other districts hoping to start their own innovation journeys. \nReference \nCenter for Assessment. (April 30\, 2019). The Challenges and Opportunities of Balanced Systems of Assessment: A Policy Brief. [Policy Brief] https://www.nciea.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Assessment-Systems-Policy-Brief.pdf \n  \nLearning Outcomes\n  \n\nParticipants will be able to define the core concepts of a Balanced Assessment System and the key role that formative assessments play in improving learning and instruction.\nParticipants will understand how to conduct a systems needs assessment and the benefits that result.\nParticipants will learn about potential barriers to re-balancing an assessment system and practical ways to navigate these challenges.\nParticipants will be able to identify where the core concepts of a Balanced Assessment System appear in Rincon Valley USD’s action plan.\n\n  \nEngagement\n  \nParticipants will be asked to interact with others to identify and discuss examples of the core concepts in the RVUSD action plan and process presented such as coherent\, comprehensive and continuous\, rooted in a common model of learning. Throughout the session\, participants will be asked to reflect on their own system as it applies to the information presented; their current assessment system\, how they might conduct a needs assessment\, and anticipated challenges. Participants will be invited to ask questions of the presenters to clarify their understanding of the materials presented.

SUMMARY:Supporting Black Student Achievement: Lessons Learned from Year 1 of the African American Student Success Network
DESCRIPTION:The partnership between the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) and the California Association of African-American Superintendents and Administrators (CAAASA) began in 2017 with a professional learning network (PLN) that focused on identifying the inequities experienced by African American students in California K-12 schools. The original network\, made up of four districts and three county offices\, examined these inequities and identified systems-change approaches to addressing them within their local educational agencies (LEAs). \nIn 2022\, the PLN participants were reconvened for a series of in-depth discussions and a review of available data and research to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on LEA’s ongoing work to improve outcomes for Black students. The results of these sessions were summarized in a brief released in June 2022. \nIn the Fall of 2022\, CCEE launched their Research-Practice Partnership (RPP) initiative\, a network of collaborative partnerships with districts and county offices that focuses on the application of continuous improvement and research processes to examine formative and short-term outcomes and support decision-making in the early stages of systems change. Five of the original CCEE-CAAASA PLN partners have rejoined to form the African American Student Success Network–each LEA team identifying a specific problem of practice to address a challenge or barrier impeding the academic achievement or social-emotional well being of their Black students. Facilitated in collaboration with CAAASA\, this network focuses on testing systems change processes to improve learning\, achievement\, and educational attainment outcomes for Black students. \nThis session will provide an overview of the work of the learning network participants\, reviewing the problems of practice and lessons learned across all five LEA teams and then provide an opportunity for audience members to have a more personalized exchange with one of the teams whose problem of practice\, strategies\, and outcomes are of particular interest. \nAll attendees will receive a summary brief including the latest data and results of this ongoing network. \nLearning Outcomes\nAttendees of this session will learn about: \n\nCAAASA and the CCEE and their role in educational research opportunities for LEAs\nThe application of continuous improvement cycles in supporting program implementation\nSpecific strategies and programmatic decisions made by Fresno Unified\, Lynwood Unified\, Pittsburg Unified\, Napa County Office of Education\, and San Diego County Office of Education to address the needs and accelerate the learning and well-being of their Black students\nLessons learned and challenges encountered by the LEAs in this network\, particular as it relates to the collection\, use\, and analysis of data and measures of impact to support programmatic decisions\nHow to apply the findings from this research practice partnership\, as well as other educational research opportunities to support learning in their own LEA\n\nEngagement\nAttendees will be asked to engage directly with the presenters through Q&A during the main presentation as well as to identify an LEA team they would like to engage with in a more personalized setting. Depending on the size of the room and the number of attendees\, we will provide opportunities for 2-5 breakouts by team for attendees to sit in smaller groups to learn more about the work of each LEA team and the results they have seen for their students.
