What is the Screener Assessment?
The Screener is a short (20-30 items, depending on grade level) assessment of prerequisite skills from the grade level prior given at the beginning of the year without overwhelming students. The Screener informs the right level Diagnostic Assessment for each student, either on-grade level or the prior grade level.
What is the Diagnostic Assessment?
The Diagnostic is a multi-stage adaptive assessment which adjusts based on the student responses. There are two new types of diagnostic reports (Student Diagnostic and Class Diagnostic) that include scale scores and national percentile rankings. The student report also identifies students’ strengths and areas for improvement to inform targeted instructional support tied to curriculum resources.
How long should the screener and diagnostic take the students to complete?
The Screener will take about 20-30 minutes (depending on the number of questions) and the Diagnostic will take about 45-60 minutes.
Who is WestEd?
WestEd is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, whose work is rooted in data, informed by research, and committed to equity. They have worked at the local, state, and national levels, providing research and evaluation for a wide range of clients and partners including the Smarter Balanced Assessment. This provides Savvas with the benefit of an independent, highly-respected third party that ensures the assessments are unbiased and equitable, resulting in the most trusted Screener and Diagnostic on the market.
How does WestEd nationally norm the Diagnostic Assessment?
The norm referencing occurred from the National Field Testing, which took place in January 2021. Field test data was then used to assist WestEd the norm referencing. The sample was weighted to match the demographic profile of students nationally.
What kind of resources are suggested as instructional supports based on the assessment results?
The resources provided with Momentum Math include: concept summaries with worked examples, concept videos, and skill-based practice sheets.
Can I use the Momentum Math to measure growth over time?
The new Middle of the Year and End of Year Growth Diagnostic assessments are designed to provide valid growth measures using the vertical scale.
