aimswebPlus overview
Why aimswebPlus?
• Need for
–
–
–
–
–
–
More in-depth, standards-based, diagnostic reporting
Common Core alignment
Better information for instructional planning
Robust assessment of early reading skills
Progress monitoring measure of reading comprehension
Greater sensitivity to growth
• Must continue to
– Be brief
– Provide a system for goal-setting and progress monitoring
– Be easy to administer and interpret
What is aimswebPlus?
• New system of assessments, scheduled for release January
2015
• All the benefits of aimsweb, plus
– Additional layer of CCSS-aligned, diagnostic assessment
– Online testing for grades 2-12 (except oral fluency)
– Instructionally relevant
• Strengths and weaknesses by CCSS
• Lexiles
• Quantiles
• Uses the new aimsweb reporting system—alternative
subscription to the original aimsweb
aimswebPlus structure
• Screening/benchmark assessment—three times a year
– Part 1: Maintains the unique qualities of brief, timed CBM
• Efficient—1 to 10 minutes
• Generalizable, predictive
• Highly sensitive to change/growth
– Part 2: Brief, diagnostic assessment
• Aligned to Common Core
• Untimed so students answer all items
• Yields strengths/weaknesses; informs instruction and intervention
– Administered online for grades 2+
– Total administration time 20-30 minutes
• Progress monitoring—as frequently as weekly
– Brief, timed CBM measures; “part 1” of the screening
– 20 alternative forms per subject and grade level
– Administered online for grades 2+

Phoneme Segmentation
The teachers says a word.
The student says the individual phonemes, or
sounds, of the word in the correct order.
• Words chosen based on CCSS requirements
• Untimed
easier to administer and score.
Revised
Passage Comprehension
Comprehension content and questions were designed to:
• measure understanding of informational and literary text
• meet a range of CCSS expectations
• assess essential literal/recall and higher-level inferential questions
about text on grade level
The passages
•
•
•
•
•
Informational Text – 50%
Literary Text – 50%
All questions reflect CCSS
Vocabulary in context
Leveled using Pearson’s Reading Maturity Metric
Comprehension Fluency
New
• New attempt to assess comprehension-based silent reading rate in an
ecologically valid and psychometrically sound way
• Objectives for the Comprehension Fluency test:
– Force the student to try to understand the gist of realistic text as he or she
reads.
– Use very easy comprehension questions
• Purpose of the test is not to measure ability to comprehend
• Purpose of the questions is to make the student pay attention
• Student doesn’t know what the question will be about, so he/she has to try to understand
the entire text
– Computer-administered
– Correlate well with unspeeded reading comprehension
– Sensitive to growth (like Oral Reading)
