1. Iowa Testing - IOWA Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) will be administered the week of Mar.
13-17 for grades 1-8. The Cognitive
Abilities Test (CogAT) will
be administered to grades 3, 5, and 7 only on Mar. 28-30. ITBS is written in levels. Each test level consists of a series
of tests administered in content sections with each section designed to measure
specific skills. The tests in grades 1and 2 are given to gain information about
classes and students for instructional planning, to supplement teacher
observations regarding student abilities, and to establish a basis for
subsequent annual evaluation of student progress. Sections include: Vocabulary,
Word Analysis, Reading Comprehension, Listening, Language, Mathematics, Social
Studies, Science, and Sources of Information. The primary purpose of the test
for grades 3-8 is instructional development. Our Diocese will use the
standardized achievement battery to learn supplementary information useful in
choosing curriculum and lesson planning. Teachers may use testing batteries to
suggest areas where the skills of individual students are most and least
developed. Sections include: Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension, Spelling,
Capitalization, Punctuation, Usage and Expression, Math Concepts and
Estimation, Math Problem Solving and Data Interpretation, Math Computation,
Social Studies, Maps and Diagrams, Reference Materials, Word Analysis (grade 3
only), and Listening (grade 3 only).The CogAT measures
students’ learned reasoning abilities in the three areas most linked to
academic success in school: Verbal, Quantitative and Nonverbal. Although its
primary goal is to assess students’ reasoning abilities, CogAT also
can provide predicted achievement scores when administered with The Iowa
Tests. CogAT is well-suited to help educators make important
student placement decisions.
