Introduction
Th is document was prepared to help educators understand the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) Achievement Test results, and it may be helpful when making important decisions regarding instructional needs for classes and individual students.
Each spring, Tennessee students in grades 3–8 take a timed, multiple-choice achievement test as part of the TCAP. Th e TCAP Achievement Test is a criterion-referenced test that has fresh, non-redundant test items and is customized yearly to measure academic skills and knowledge in Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Criterion-referenced tests are required by the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation. For additional information about NCLB, visit the NCLB website at http://www2.ed.gov/nclb/landing.jhtml.
Criterion-referenced tests measure a student’s performance against specifi c content standards or criteria, rather than compare the performance of test takers. Curriculum standards, as defi ned by the State of Tennessee, provide expectations for student accomplishment. From these expectations, performance indicators were written to describe how the expectations would be measured. On the TCAP Achievement Test, each test item is directly linked to a performance indicator. Performance indicators are clustered into reporting categories for the reports described in this document.
Th e Spring 2011 Achievement Tests were aligned with new curriculum standards for Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Th e Social Studies curriculum standards were not revised. For additional information on the Tennessee curriculum and what your student should be learning at his or her grade level, visit the Division of Accountability, Teaching and Learning website at http://state.tn.us/education/curriculum.shtml.
Th ree diff erent types of tests make up the TCAP Achievement Program: (1) the Achievement (ACH) Test, (2) the Modifi ed Academic Achievement Standards (MAAS) Assessment, and (3) the English Linguistically Simplifi ed Assessment (ELSA).
Th e ACH Test is the general assessment for grades 3–8.1.
Th e MAAS Assessment is a more appropriate assessment for some special education students. An IEP team 2. determines whether a student is eligible based on criteria given by the state. Th e MAAS Assessment is challenging for eligible students whose disability has prevented them from attaining grade-level profi ciency. Th e MAAS Assessment is based on grade-level content standards and is diff erent from the ACH Test in the following ways:
Shorter test with three answer choices• Print styles simplifi ed•
Shorter reading passages• Charts, graphs, and tables simplifi ed •
Simplifi ed language • Fewer passages or items on each page •
Th e ELSA is given to students who are eligible to receive English as a Second Language (ESL) services. Students 3. who have transitioned out of ESL programs are not eligible to take the ELSA. Th e language for ELSA test items was simplifi ed to help measure the intended knowledge or skill. Th e knowledge or skill being assessed was not simplifi ed. ELSA items may have been simplifi ed in one or more of the following ways:
Wordiness decreased• Concrete words used •
Common words and simplest verb forms used • Sentence structure simplifi ed •
Words with multiple meanings avoided • Context simplifi ed•
