Students in grades 3-9 completed the AK STAR summative assessment once in the spring of 2022 and again the spring of 2023. Students also took assessments created by NWEA three times per year for KPBSD’s district benchmarks called NWEA MAP Growth. Students in grades 3-10 took these assessments in the fall, winter, and spring.  \nNWEA MAP Growth is a norm-referenced assessment that shows what students are ready to learn next in reading, language usage, and math, and it measures students’ growth over time. The assessments are independent of students’ assigned grade level and are item adaptive. This means that students could see assessment questions that are above or below their assigned grade level dependent on how they answer the previous question. The results of the assessment not only display the students’ zone of proximal development, but also provide a conditional growth percentile and a national percentile ranking which allows for comparison between Alaska’s students and the nation’s students who also have taken the MAP Growth assessments.  \nIn contrast, the summative AK STAR assessment is criterion-referenced and measures grade level proficiency in English language arts and math. Students see grade-level questions only. The results categorize students into proficiency bands which state whether they are proficient or not on grade-level standards.  \nIn the spring of 2023, the AK STAR assessment and the spring administration of NWEA MAP Growth were combined into one assessment yielding both criterion and norm-referenced data. Although the assessments went through rigorous alignment studies, a discrepancy was noticed between achievement categories on the AK STAR and national percentile rankings on NWEA MAP Growth assessments.  \nAlaska’s Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) recruited stakeholders to review the cut scores and make a recommendation as to whether there should be an adjustment. This stakeholder group reviewed both the new AK STAR and the new Alaska Science Assessments’ cut scores.
