1 What Your Child Will Learn In American Government A State Assessed Course Family Guide The purpose of this document is to give families an overview of the student learning experiences in this high school course.
2 FAMILY GUIDE & THE MARYLAND HIGH SCHOOL ASSESSMENTS This Family Guide addresses one of four courses English, algebra/data analysis, American government or biology that are associated with the Maryland State Department of Education s (MSDE) High School Assessments (HSA). The HSAs are challenging tests that students in the graduating class of 2009 and after must pass* to earn a Maryland high school diploma. The tests ensure that graduates have mastered the basic skills they need to succeed in life after high school. The HSAs measure student achievement of the state s Core Learning Goals (CLG), which are identified by MSDE as the skills and knowledge necessary to show understanding of each course s content and which are embedded in the Baltimore City Schools curriculum. Students in graduating classes prior to 2009 do not have to pass the HSA; however, they must take them to graduate. *To receive the Maryland High School Diploma, students in the class of 2009 and after will either: OR Take and pass all four HSAs (English, algebra/data analysis, American government and biology). A state-approved option allows a student to substitute one or more approved assessments, such as the Advanced Placement Test, in the same subjects. Take all four HSAs and earn a combined score of If you have questions about the assessments, please contact your child s guidance counselor or principal.
3 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING THE HSA Do middle school students taking high school level courses take the HSA? Middle school students taking high school level courses must take the appropriate High School Assessment. All middle school students are required to pass any HSA they complete in middle school. Students who take and pass an HSA in middle school will have those scores count toward their graduation requirements. Are English language learners required to take the HSA? Maryland, like other states, gauges students progress in acquiring English fluency throughout their education. Schools enroll English Language Learners (ELL) in credit-bearing courses when it is determined they can be successful in them. ELL students will take the HSA when they are enrolled in the appropriate course. How does Baltimore City s instructional program prepare my child for the HSA? All tested courses have the state s Core Learning Goals embedded within Baltimore City Public Schools curriculum. The Baltimore City curricula extend the Core Learning Goals to content that is beyond the core; however, all content needed for the HSA is contained within the essential curriculum. Similarly, Baltimore City has designed quarterly benchmark assessments that mimic the HSA, and these assessments are administered to students as part of the instructional program for that course. What accommodations are used for students in Special Education? Any accommodation provided in daily instruction and on classroom assessments, as documented in the student s IEP, must also be provided on the HSA. Maryland has developed modified HSAs which are based on the same content as the HSAs, but which have an alternative question format. These assessments may be the most appropriate assessments for a small percentage of students with IEPs. To find out whether your child is eligible to take the Mod-HSAs, contact his or her IEP team. Do other students qualify for accommodations? Maryland allows testing accommodations for students who need them. The accommodation(s) must be documented in the student s IEP, 504 plan, or ELL plan. When will my child take the HSA? Students will take the HSA at the end of designated courses. Students in assessed courses take quarterly benchmark assessments that help prepare them for the HSA. What is the passing score on the HSA? The passing score for algebra/data analysis is 412, for government 394, for biology 400, and for English 396. How will parents receive test results? Parents will receive their child s test score report from the Baltimore City Public Schools approximately 10 weeks after the tests are administered. If additional information is requested, the parent can contact the school or the school system s accountability coordinator. If students fail an assessment, will they be able to retake it during the school year to ensure they graduate on time? Most students take the HSA either in ninth or tenth grade; thus they will have several chances to receive extra help and retake any failed tests before graduation. Students needing to retake tests can do so during annual administrations in January, May, summer, and October. In April there is a special administration just for seniors. Students may retake failed tests as many times as they need to pass. Instructional assistance is provided until a student achieves a passing score. When is mandatory assistance provided? Schools will provide appropriate assistance to students who fail an assessment. Students can retake an assessment only after they complete an intervention program. Can a student take an HSA multiple times to raise a score? Yes, but no additional instructional assistance is provided if the student has passed the test. The highest score of multiple attempts counts toward the student s combined score. What are alternative ways to meet the High School Assessment graduation requirements? Within Baltimore City Public Schools, students have the following alternatives to passing the HSAs: Advanced Placement (AP) test substitution allows students to use an approved score on the HSA-related AP test in place of taking the HSA. The Combined-Score Option allows students to offset a lower performance on one test with higher performance on another. If students do not pass all four tests, they may satisfy the HSA requirement using the Combined Score option. The combined total of all four tests must be at least Modified HSAs with altered test items are available for a small portion of students with disabilities. The Bridge Plan for Academic Validation for students who have been unable to pass one or more HSAs, despite assistance. Students must meet three general eligibility criteria: taken and failed the test at least twice, participation in appropriate assistance, satisfactory progress toward graduation. Students eligible for participation will meet with school staff to determine the projects to be included in the student s Academic Validation Project Package.
