4 Introduction to CASAS Non-profit organization founded in 1980 in San Diego, California More than 25 years of research and development experience Uses nationwide, field-based consortium 130 certified trainers and 78 national consortium members Approved and validated by the U.S. Departments of Education and Labor 4
5 Why CASAS? Meets mandates of 1998 Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and 2004 reauthorization of Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) Uses standardized assessment to report student learning outcomes for accountability; facilitated by CASAS TOPSpro software Provides competency-based education structure with employment and life skills components Integrates functionally based assessment, curriculum, and instruction Increases learning gains, program participation and goal attainment according to research evidence for programs implementing CASAS/CBE 5
6 Key Components There are four key components of the CASAS system. 6
7 Key Component: Curriculum CASAS Competencies The CASAS Competencies are the curricular foundation of the CASAS system. There are more than 300 CASAS Competencies. The Competencies identify essential skills for life and work. CASAS test items are aligned to competencies. You have a copy of the CASAS Competencies in your training materials. You can also download the competencies at < 7
8 Key Component: Assessment See the CASAS Resource Catalog for more information on individual tests. CASAS Assessments More than 180 assessments are available. Functional basic skill areas include: Reading Math Listening Speaking Writing Critical thinking Citizenship preparation 8
9 Key Component: Instructional Support Instructional Materials Quick Search (QS) Software QS is a searchable CD-ROM database. It helps teachers identify effective instructional materials for learners. All materials in the database are aligned to CASAS Competencies. See the Instructional Resources section of the CASAS Web site for more information. 9
10 Key Component: Data Collection Software Compiles and scores student assessment results Provides more than 150 reports analyzing student test data Tracks student progress 10
11 The Competency-Based Education Cycle 11
12 Methods to Assess Participant Needs Inventory (informal) Lists input from individual, family, care providers, friends Surveys the individual s current and future natural environments - home, community, workplace, educational setting Observation (informal) Provides unbiased perspective of skills and abilities Compares performance in different settings/situations Interview (informal) Provides input from individual and significant others such as family, supervisors, and care providers Documents individual hopes and dreams CASAS Life Skills Formal Assessment Determines appropriate placement, progress toward goals and verifies goal attainment Establishes program accountability Begins with well-defined competency statements 12
13 An Integrated Systems Approach 13
14 Competency-Based Education Ideal Characteristics Competency-based programs: Use specific, measurable competency statements Ensure content based on learner goals (outcomes/competencies) Focus on what the learner needs to learn, which is the application of basic skills in a life skills context Pace instruction to learner needs 14
15 Competency-Based Education Ideal Characteristics Competency-based programs: Use a variety of instructional techniques and group activities Use texts, media, and real-life materials geared to targeted competencies Provide learners with immediate feedback on assessment performance Have learners demonstrate mastery of specified competency statements 15
16 CASAS Competencies Content Areas 0. Basic Communication 1. Consumer Economics 2. Community Resources 3. Health 4. Employment 5. Government and Law 6. Computation 7. Learning to Learn 8. Independent Living Skills The CASAS Competencies are organized into nine content areas. Review the CASAS Competencies in your training materials. 16
17 Competency Coding System Content Area 2. Community Resources Competency Area 2.2 Understand how to locate and use different types of transportation and interpret related travel information Competency Statements Recognize and use signs related to transportation (see also 1.9.1) Interpret transportation schedules and fares 17
18 Activity 2: Competency Worksheet CASAS Competency Number CASAS Content Area General Competency Area Specific Competency Statement Example: Community Resources Understands concepts of time and weather Interpret clock time Complete worksheet included in your activity packet. 18
19 Integrating Content Standards and Life Skills 19
20 Content Standards and CASAS Competencies Why are Content Standards important to use along with CASAS Competencies? Content Standards identify the underlying basic skills associated with CASAS Competencies. Content Standards represent smaller steps in skill attainment for consumers with developmental disabilities. Content Standards support instructional planning that helps students master a specific competency and attain their goals. 20
21 Integrating Content Standards and Life Skills R1.4 Relate letters to sounds (money) R4.4 Read money amounts (Distinguish $10, $5, $1) Life Skill Competency Statement Count, convert and use coins and currency and recognize symbols such as ($) and (.) R1.1 Identify letters of the English alphabet (dime, etc.) R4.1 Read numbers ($10 + $5) Content standards are literacy basic skills that you teach and assess at different skill levels to indicate progress towards meeting life skill competencies. R2.1 Interpret common symbols ($ &.) 21

23 An Integrated Systems Approach 23
24 Norm-referenced Test How is performance measured? A person s score is compared to the total scores of the group. What is passing? A person passes when score meets a certain percentage of the norm group. 24
25 Criterion-referenced Test How is performance measured? A person s score is compared to the score needed to meet clearly stated criteria for competent performance. What is passing? A person passes when the criteria for mastery of a skill is met. Yes, that is the correct change. 25
26 Tools for Assessment and Instruction Place Learners are given a locator to determine appropriate program or instructional level placement and/or to identify the pretest they should take. Assess Learners take the survey achievement pretest. Instruct Teacher provides instruction and ongoing informal assessment. Monitor After a specified interval, students are given an appropriate post-test based on pretest scores. Progress is noted. 26
27 Types of CASAS Tests 5A-2A Placement/Locator Level AAA Pre-Post Tests (Survey Achievement/Progress Tests) Placement tests include a wider range of test levels. Progress tests assess more specific skill levels. See Attachments 1 and 2 in your Activity Packet for descriptions of these various skill levels. 27
28 Scale Score Ranges of Tests for Special Needs Level AAAAA Level AAAA Level AAA Level AA Level Pre-A/Beg. Literacy Levels A B C D 28
29 Life Skills Test Items Scale Score Ranges AAAAA Level Item Item Difficulty = 122 Item # 2, Life Skills Form 343 AAAA Level Item Item Difficulty = 142 Item # 6, Life Skills Form 333 Where is the money? Which one is the stop sign? 29
