This presentation first explains the TerraNova test. It then guides educators on how to analyze and gather data from specific TerraNova reports to drive instruction

3.  Chosen by ACSI to use in schools
 Norm-referenced test
 How did your students do compared to the national norm group?
 Content is selected to align with standards commonly addressed in state and
national standards:
 National Assessment of Educational Progress
 International Reading Association
 National Council of Teachers of English
 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
 National Science Standards and Frameworks
 National Council for the Social Studies

4.  Mean
 Median
 Scale Score
 Grade Equivalent
 National Stanine
 National Percentile
 NP Range
 Mean Scale Score
 Median National Percentile

5.  Mean: average of numbers
 Median: the middle of a range of numbers
 Scale Score: an even interval numeric scale that spans from Kindergarten to 12th
grade
 Grade Equivalent: the year and month of school in which the students’ score is to
be interpreted
 National Stanine: scale that divides scores of the norming population into 9
groups
 National Percentile: score that describes students’ achievement to the norming
group
 NP Range **** is this worth sharing*****
 Objectives Performance Index: number that tells us how many question a student
would have gotten right
 How well would this student have done if there had been 100 similar items?

6.  Estimate of the number of items a student would be expected to score answer
correctly if there had been 100 similar items
 “How well would this student have done if there had been 100 similar items?
 Mastery
 Partial Mastery
 Non-Mastery

7. Find a buddy with the same letter as you.
Have one person follow the instruction to “Quizizz”
When finished please return to your seat and wait quietly.

8.  Serves as a quick overview to areas of strengths and weaknesses in content area
 Quickly assess area where students are below the national average

11.  Quickly identify areas where we have students in the below average/ average
range.
 Helps us know what areas are of up most importance to differentiate.

12.  Identify categories where you have students in the below average/ average range.
 Identify which category you have the largest range.

13.  Percentage of group that is in high mastery for the listed objective
 Evaluate strengths and weaknesses in curriculum

16.  Shows the average OPI score compared to the National
 Compares average OPI score to the moderate mastery range for that objective

19.  Objectives and subskills are outlined
 Examples of questions for each

20.  What areas are we in the average or below average range?
 Is there a trend across years?

21.  K/1
 2/3
 4/5
 Middle School

24.  Summary of the students’ performance on objectives

28.  Consider what you observe on a daily basis from this student
 Consider formative and summative assessments.
 Consider Terra Nova Test.
 Are there any similarities? Use those to help you make goals for that student.

29.  Reading A to Z (group students based on weaknesses and strengths)
 Math: Khan Academy
 Moby Max
 Florida Center for Research and Writing

30.  Questions
 Twitter Board (The most valuable thing you learned)
 Questions if you still have them

31.  Presentation Handout ideas
 Twitter
 Cards used by Heather
 Quiz type thing
 Folder for Terra Nova for Teachers
 (Presentation Notes)
 (Goal Sheet)
 Objective/examples for each grade level
