A1: If written well, state-wide assessments provide opportunities for students to receive equitable access to good instruction #ngsschat

MsB_Reilly Mar 2 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: Challenges come from how 1dimensional tests are. Where are the SEPs and CCCs on standardized tests?? #NGSSchat

KRScienceLady Mar 2 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 Statewide assessment can provide a snapshot of S learning, can be used to look at #NGSS science program #NGSSchat

amykfmurphy Mar 2 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 #NGSSchat statewide assessments are needed for accountability, but most don't assess 3Ds of new sci standards.

FredEnde - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:11 PM EST

Q1 What benefits does state-wide assessment provide for teaching/learning? What are the challenges? #NGSSchat

LynnTeachIt Mar 2 @ 9:14 PM EST

Personally, I scored high on state assessments... learned the NGSS way... realized I did not understand a thing about science! #ngsschat

A5: When students need to upload videos they created about the process. Discovery/research/presenting/writing/editing #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:53 PM EST

Yep. That works. :) #NGSSchat

A5 They would have to be rubric based performance tasks that include the sci process to stay true to #ngss #ngsschat

#ngsschat I've created something similar...progression of proficiency really helps teachers https://t.co/ZGECgLxToi

A5 #NGSSchat I like the idea of free response type questions similar to AP. Really see what Ss understand but grading process long!

Q5 What are some possible formats for state assessment questions? What are the pros/cons of each? #NGSSchat

VogelWendi Mar 2 @ 9:54 PM EST

Yes. Transferable and cross-curricular applications. #ngsschat

A5 Some PEs are easier than others. Argue/explain > modeling. TEIs can work but are $$$. #ngsschat

A site S's across the US could go to for 3D assessments and T's and S's could see how they were doing without high stakes. #ngsschat

A5: Depends greatly if you are limited to paper/pencil or if you have virtual or other options available. #ngsschat

Q6. In the age of NGSS, what should the perfect science state assessment look/sound/feel like? #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:55 PM EST

Yes. I do believe much will have to involve either free response or direct performance. Tough to form MCs with PEs . .#ngsschat

A5 w/MS having a varied path thru #NGSS it would have to be generic process ?'s All Ds don't do things the same way #ngsschat

nlrhoades Mar 2 @ 9:56 PM EST

A6 a cross section of Ss doing science and showing how they think/act like scientists. #ngsschat

VogelWendi Mar 2 @ 9:56 PM EST

Thanks all. Checking out a bit early. Need to sleep. Thanks for the assessment chat! #ngsschat

A5: Present students with data, then... develop a model, critique/improve a model, make/choose a claim, argue! identify patterns #NGSSchat

Alright everyone, this head cold is taking its toll. I'll have to duck out a few minutes early. Great to chat with everyone again! #NGSSchat

BKd204Sci Mar 2 @ 9:57 PM EST

A6 Since most Ds do #CER having some sort of general modeling & response may be a way to get data that is useful #ngsschat

A6 hard to imagine in a local control state that only requires 2 yrs of sci at hs level #NGSSchat

VogelWendi Mar 2 @ 9:58 PM EST

Forgot @NGSS_tweeps plug! Don't forget to message me or @BMSscienceteach if would like a week. April & May have dates available. #ngsschat

I will leave perfection to others. The perfect assessment involves some sort of science fiction brain helmet... #NGSSchat

Q6. In the age of NGSS, what should the perfect science state assessment look/sound/feel like? #NGSSchat

douglas_watkins Mar 2 @ 9:58 PM EST

#ngsschat A6: ideally, it would be at least a week long and include investigative design and delivery to answer a question

In reply to @TdiShelton

LynnTeachIt Mar 2 @ 9:59 PM EST

A6: problem based. Like Survivor meets The Apprentice. Stephen Hawking is the judge and the prize is gainful employment #NGSSchat

amykfmurphy Mar 2 @ 9:59 PM EST

A6 #NGSSchat Ss given essential ?s, design/conduct experiment, complete CER/J to answer essential ?s

HollyMcGoran Mar 2 @ 9:59 PM EST

A6: assessments should feel/look/sound like Ss acting, thinking & communicating like true scientists & engineers #NGSSchat

Dora_AMNH Mar 2 @ 9:59 PM EST

A6 #NGSSchat if I'm taking a science assessment, it should feel like I'm DOING science (not JUST answering questions ABOUT science)
