Due to COVID, student seat time and assessment requirements were waived beginning March 13, through the end of the school year. As a result, data from the school year is not directly comparable to results from prior or future school years and should be interpreted with caution, especially when making comparisons with results from other school years. School systems will also use LEAP results as one source of information with which to design data-driven supports and targeted interventions for students.
Long-term data are not available, as these assessments were updated in and Louisiana has improved performance among most historically disadvantaged student groups since ; however, achievement gaps are pronounced and, in some cases, growing.
This trend is particularly true for students with disabilities and English learners, who have not seen improvement at the rate of their peers. This year, 70 percent of school systems improved across ELA, math, and social studies. Strategies for Improvement Louisiana must continue to address persistent challenges, including: Building a solid foundation of literacy. The Department will staff and support the new Louisiana Early Literacy Commission, created by legislation in , to study and make recommendations for the development and implementation of an aligned system that provides effective evidence-based reading instruction for children from birth through third grade.
Strengthening social studies instruction. Louisiana is now piloting an innovative joint ELA and social studies assessment , in part, to encourage teachers to focus more on knowledge building and to more closely collaborate with their peers across subjects. For the last two school years, Louisiana faced extraordinary challenges ranging from catastrophic hurricanes to a global pandemic, officials say.
Here are the big-picture numbers for Acadiana's elementary students: For grades 3 through 8, percent of tests scoring Mastery and above combining ELA, Math and Science State: 34 percent 29 percent down 5 percent By Parish: Acadia 37 33 down 4 percent Calcasieu 37 32 down 5 percent Evangeline 32 22 down 10 percent Iberia 36 31 down 5 percent Jeff Davis 36 32 down 4 percent Lafayette 38 35 down 3 percent St.
Landry 28 21 down 7 percent St. Martin 28 22 down 6 percent St. The decrease was felt across all grade levels, content ares and subgroups, but learning gaps did deepen, state officials say. LEAP includes multiple question types, some of which students may not be familiar with. So doing some practice tests is key for getting comfortable with the format. Generally, LEAP test assessment questions fall in the following categories: Selected-response items Multiple-select items Technology-enhanced items Constructed-response items.
With the rise of technology based tests, Edulastic is an excellent LEAP practice test platform that can help students to adequately prepare for exams. During the school year, students have an opportunity to use the platform which has numerous online resources to practice and familiarize themselves with the main exam.
Practice tests offer students an opportunity to have a good idea of how the real exam is administered. Key skills students can learn from Edulastic include perfection of keyboarding skills which are a must-have for computer-based LEAP assessments. Knowledge of technical skills such as drop and drop, filling information into tables, creating equations and use of online calculators are essential for doing exams.
