Math Assessment Results

Kansas assessment results are now reported in four levels. Level 1 indicates that a student shows a limited ability to understand and use the mathematics skills and knowledge needed to be academically prepared for postsecondary success. Level 2 indicates that a student shows a basic ability to understand and use the mathematics skills and knowledge needed to be academically prepared for postsecondary success. Level 3 indicates that a student shows an effective ability to understand and use the mathematics skills and knowledge needed to be academically prepared for postsecondary success. Level 4 indicates that a student shows an excellent ability to understand and use the mathematics skills and knowledge needed to be academically prepared for postsecondary success.

Building, district, and state-level reports provide summaries of the percent of students at each performance level. Assessment results capture a point-in-time and represent one part of a student’s and schools’ overall educational experience.

DLM

The Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) Alternate Assessment System lets students with the most significant cognitive disabilities show what they know in ways that traditional multiple-choice test cannot. The DLM system is designed to map a student’s instruction and learning throughout the year using items and tasks that are embedded in day-to-day instruction.

History & Government

2017-2018 was the last school year Kansas administered a state-level History, Government, Social Studies (HGSS) assessment. No state level HGSS assessment was given from 2018 through 2022. Beginning in the 2018-2019 school year development began on a new, local, class-room based HGSS assessment. Beginning in the 2022-2023 school year the new HGSS CBA will be required for grades 4, 7, and either grade 10, 11, or 12.

The Kansas History, Government, Social Studies Classroom-Based Assessment (HGSS CBA) is designed to measure student understanding of the Kansas History, Government, and Social Studies standards, benchmarks and skills while allowing Kansas school districts, classroom teachers and students the opportunity to develop their own assessment that best supports local decisions concerning content, sources, and products. The HGSS CBA is based on the fourth benchmark outlined in the state standards document. Using skills developed during content-based instructional tasks and activities, a student will create a cohesive product using grade-level appropriate communication skills that answer a locally developed compelling question focused on one or more of the five standards (i.e., choices, consequences, rights, responsibilities, identities, beliefs, ideas, actions, continuity, change or dynamic relationships).
