CELLA provides…
-
evidence of program accountability in accordance to Title III of NCLB
-
data on students over time
-
information about the language proficiency of students across the State
-
diagnostic information about students’ strength and weakness in English
-
fair, reliable, and valid information about ELLs in grades K through 12
Speaker Notes:
How was CELLA developed?
-
CELLA was funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
-
A collaboration with AccountabilityWorks and a consortium of five states: Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, & Tennessee
-
As the grantee, AccountabilityWorks managed the work of the consortium
-
ETS was awarded the subcontract to develop the test, ancillary materials, conduct the field test and develop the scoring programs
-
The State provided substantial input and the majority of field tested students

Facilitator Notes:
The listening test is all multiple-choice and is paced by a CD (or teacher script, which appears in the Directions for Administration manual).
There are four item types that progressively get more challenging.
1. Listen and Match: single sentences—taps into the lower end of the proficiency spectrum.
2. Picture Description: single sentences, but more listening is involved.
3. Short Talks: two types—partial dialogues and teacher talks (mixture of BICS and CALP).
BICS – Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills or the language skills needed in social situations.
CALP – Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency or formal academic learning. This includes listening, speaking, reading, and writing about subject area content material.
4. Extended Listening: assesses whether the student can learn new information in English.
The Speaking section is administered in a one-on-one setting. The test administrator sits with a student and asks a series of questions. The student’s responses are scored on the spot by the test administrator.
There are 5 items types in the speaking tests:
1. Oral Vocabulary – student identifies objects or actions and state antonyms
2. Speech Functions – student asks a question related to a situation
3. Personal Opinion – student gives reason to support an opinion
4. Story Retelling – student hears story then repeats it
5. Graph Interpretation – student looks at graph and speaks about the information on the graph

(Whom Do
You Test?)
Speaker Notes:
Which Students Should be Tested?
-
All students in grades K-12 classified as ELLs, with codes of “LY” or “LP” as of May 31, 2008 and in membership in the district at the time of testing
-
Former ELLs (code of “LF”) that were exited from the ESOL program on or after May 31, 2008 and before April 14, 2009
-
Any student that enrolls after January 16, 2009 and before April 3, 2009, and is classified as an ELL must be assessed
Speaker Notes:
Facilitator Notes:
Review slide; highlight important points/concepts.
Reminder: Facilitator should note that CELLA is also aligned to the Language Arts through ESOL Performance Indicators and is linked to the Sunshine State Standards for Language Arts. CELLA is designed to test not only language proficiency skills in all four domains of the English language, but also the use of academic English.
Who is NOT Tested?
-
Students enrolling on or after April 6, 2009, with affirmative responses on the Home Language Survey are NOT included in the 2009 administration of CELLA
Speaker Notes:
Functional
Level Testing
Speaker Notes:
What is Functional Level Testing?
-
Testing students’ language ability according to what they can actually do and NOT according to what is expected at their grade level
-
Used only for literacy skills (Reading & Writing), which must be learned, and NOT for oral skills (Listening & Speaking), which are more naturally “acquired”
-
Students may take the Reading and Writing sections at a level lower than grade level
Speaker Notes:
-
There is a often wide disparity in skill levels of ELLs (especially in the higher grades)
-
To get reliable and accurate test results for students at all proficiency levels within each grade-span would require more test items
-
Test administration time is kept short by giving students only those items most appropriate for their skill level
-
Without functional level testing, measures of growth are inaccurate for very low performing students
Why administer Functional Level Testing?
Speaker Notes:
-
The widest disparity in skill levels is typically found in the high school grades, where ELLs can range from recently arrived, non-English speaking students with no native-language literacy skills to high-performing students ready to demonstrate sufficient English language proficiency to exit the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program.
-
In order to provide precise and reliable results for each student at each CELLA level, additional test items would have to be administered to ensure that all proficiency levels are tested within each grade-span.
-
To keep testing time as short as possible, CELLA was designed to assess students according to their "functional" skill levels in Reading and Writing rather than their actual grade level.
-
Frustration during testing is minimized.
-
Abilities are more accurately reflected by the scores.
-
Interventions are more effectively and appropriately.
-
Results can be compared across districts more accurately.
Benefits of Functional Level Testing
to the Student
Speaker Notes:
-
Using the full range of Reading and Writing levels is the best way to ensure reliable results for all ELLs as well as to avoid student frustration during testing.
-
Administering the most appropriate level of Reading and Writing ensures that each student is given only test items that reflect his or her skill level, resulting in a highly accurate score on the CELLA vertical scale and providing pertinent diagnostic information.
-
Administering the most appropriate level of Reading and Writing ensures accurate identification and implementation of interventions for students.
-
Uniform implementation of functional-level testing throughout a district provides accurate and reliable results of assessment of ELLs and ensures fairness when comparing student results across schools.
-
Uniform implementation of functional level testing across the state ensures the fair and accurate application of sanctions by FDOE to districts whose ELL population fails to demonstrate progress in meeting Florida’s Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) for two or more consecutive years.
CELLA Results
-
Administering the CELLA Reading & Writing sections according to students' functional level does NOT result in an "off-grade" version of the assessment
-
“Off-grade" testing typically indicates that student results are scored and reported against a different, lower standard. This is NOT the case with CELLA
-
Every student in a given grade span (e.g., K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12), regardless of which test level is administered, will be reported as "English Proficient" against the same standard (or "cut-score") on the assessment's vertical scale
Speaker Notes:
How To Implement CELLA
Functional Level Testing
Teachers and CELLA Test Administrators should use the following tools to determine the correct Reading & Writing level to administer to students classified as ELLs at the time of testing:

Which students should NOT
be tested with
Functional Level Testing?
Former ELLs (LFs) who exited the ESOL program on or after May 31, 2008 must be tested in Reading & Writing based on their grade level
Speaker Notes:
2009 CELLA Functional Level Testing Decision-Making Rubric
-
Developed based on the CELLA test items and the content demands in Reading & Writing required of students to reliably determine their level of English proficiency in these two domains
-
Teachers use a check mark next to the level of the student’s attainment in each of the four English skill areas
-
Students with 3 or 4 check marks in one column should take the test indicated in that column

Test Material for Functional
Level Testing
Speaker Notes:
Facilitator Notes:
Walk through what testing material is used for students who are to be tested using functional level testing – Listening and Speaking on grade level and Reading and Writing at a lower level.
FUNCTIONAL LEVEL TESTING – Example 1
Example: A student in grade 9 will take Level D, Listening and Speaking
The student is eligible to take the Level C, Level B, or Level A Reading & Writing test (images of each test document are provided below)
ALL student responses are recorded onto the Level B, C, D Answer Document
ALL Student responses are recorded on the Functional Level A Test Book
Speaker Notes:
Facilitator Notes:
A student in grade 9 will take Level D, Listening and Speaking and the student is eligible to take either the Level C or Level B or Level A Reading and Writing test.
If the student takes the Level C or Level B Reading and Writing, the student will record all responses in the 2008 CELLA Level B, C and D Answer Sheet.
If the student takes the Level A Reading and Writing, the student will record ALL responses in the Functional Level A Test Book.
FUNCTIONAL LEVEL TESTING – Example 2
Example: A student in grade 5 will take Level B Listening & Speaking and is eligible to take the Level A Reading & Writing test (images of each test document are provided below)
ALL student responses are recorded onto
the Functional Level A Test Book
Speaker Notes:
Facilitator Notes:
Review slide; highlight important points/concepts.
A student in grade 5 will take Level B, Listening and Speaking B and is eligible to take the Level A Reading and Writing test. All of the student’s responses are recorded in the Level A Reading and writing test book.
This student would NOT use a 2008 CELLA Level B, C, D Answer Document.

Level A Sections
Speaker Notes:
Administering Level A
-
The test should be individually administered to students in kindergarten.
-
Grades 1 and 2 may take Listening, Reading and Writing in small groups.
-
The One-on-One section must be individually administered
-
Grade 2 will take additional “extension” items in Reading & Writing
Speaker Notes:
Administering Level A
“Core” and “Extension”
-
The Core Section should be taken by all students in Grades K-2
-
Listening & Speaking sections are identical for all students in grades K-2
-
-
The Extension contains more challenging Reading & Writing items and is administered only to students in Grade 2
-
Students in grades K and 1 receive fewer Reading & Writing items than students in Grade 2
-
Speaker Notes:
The Reading and Writing tests have clearly marked stopping points in the DFA for students in K and 1. In addition, since the test is administered item-by-item, the administrator will inform students when it is time to stop. Students in grade 2 will be directed by the administrator to continue past those stopping points.
Administering Level A
STOPPING POINTS are available for individually administered sections of CELLA:
-
-
Test administrators should stop the administration of that section only IF the student cannot respond to five questions in a row AND it is clear that the questions are above the student’s proficiency level
-
Speaker Notes:
Facilitator Notes:
Students taking CELLA may have a wide range of English proficiency levels. Some students will easily answer all of the questions; others may be unable to answer even the easiest of questions. The goal of providing stopping points is to give students an opportunity to demonstrate as much proficiency as they have, without overtaxing them by asking them questions that they are clearly not able to answer.
NOTE: administration of the section should be stopped ONLY if the student cannot respond to questions; if a student is engaged and answering questions but gets five (5) questions in a row wrong, the administration should continue.
After administration of a section is stopped for the above outlined reasons, the student should continue to attempt the other sections of CELLA at the regularly scheduled time.

Facilitator Notes:
In reviewing this slide, make sure that participants understand that there are only 3 error indicators; substitution, mispronunciations, and omissions. They do not have to indicate the type of error, simply record the total number of errors.
Sometimes participants want to compare this scoring method to the Running Record. State that this is not a running record and repeat the types of errors to count.
See page 16 of the Scoring Guide for more information regarding errors.

Facilitator Notes:
Scoring Procedure:
-
To prepare for the practice, ask the participants to turn to the Level A Question 5: Read Aloud for Fluency in the DFA and Scoring Guide. Clip a blank acetate transparency over page 20 or insert the Scoring Guide into a clear sheet protector. The participants now have the transparency placed directly over the Fluency text.
-
As the student reads, participants follow along using text in DFA and Scoring Guide.
-
Participants mark the student errors on transparency as they occur by drawing a line through the text with dry erase pen. Participants need only mark the error, not record the type of error.
-
Participants mark where student stops the reading at end of allotted time by drawing a vertical line.
-
See rubric in DFA and Scoring Guide for scoring student response.
-
Clean transparency after each student.
Note: Model and practice this procedure during sample responses.
This is where you will practice using the rubric to score student responses. For this activity, participants will refer Training Items on the following pages in the DFA and Scoring Guide. It will be helpful to have participants tab the pages for quick reference.
-
Ask participants to review the Script for Training Items so they are familiar with the script format and content.
-
Ask participants to turn to back to the rubric.
-
Facilitator plays training CD Tracks 48-49.
-
Participants listen to Question 5 followed by student response, Score 4. (Tracks 48-49)
-
Facilitator pauses the CD and ask participants to discuss why that particular response scored a 4. Refer to rubric.
-
Repeat this process for scores 3, 2, 1 and 0, Tracks 50-53.
-
The facilitator will now play training item Example A , Track 54 and ask participants to practice scoring using the rubric and the training items.
-
After the participants practice scoring Example A, ask them to compare scores with a partner or table-mates.
-
Ask participants to turn to the Answer Key for Training Items. Facilitator shares ETS score and words counted as errors.
-
Invite discussion about items when necessary.
-
Repeat steps 7-10 for the following Example training items:
Example B, Track 55
Example C, Track 56
Example D, Track 57
Example E, Tracks 58
-
-
For additional practice, continue steps 7-10 with Examples F-J, Tracks 59-63.
-
Note: Often after practice and scoring, participants raise questions about the “allowed” usage of probing questions and prompts. The facilitator will need to keep participants focused on the purpose of CELLA; to measure English Language Proficiency.

Speaker Notes:
Administering Levels B-D Listening & Speaking
Grades:
-
-
Level B (3-5)
-
Level C (6-8)
-
Level D (9-12)
-
-
Test design is identical across levels for Listening & Speaking*
-
Listening all multiple-choice; Speaking all constructed-response
-
Listening is group administered; testing time is about 25 minutes
* Level B is the only exception with one additional item
Speaker Notes:
At Levels B through D, the Listening and Speaking sections are identical in design (with one minor exception in the Level B speaking test, which has one more item.) Thus, except for that one item, the process for administering these tests is identical.
All 22 Listening items are multiple-choice, and the test is administered to a group. The test is recorded on a CD. If there are technical problems, the entire script (including directions for how long to pause) is included in the DFA. The entire test is paced by the CD (or script).
The Speaking section contains 13 constructed-response items. The section is given to each student individually, so each school should create a schedule to assure that each student is tested.

3. Short Talks: two types—partial dialogues and teacher talks (mixture of BICS and CALP).
BICS – Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills or the language skills needed in social situations.
CALP – Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency or formal academic learning. This includes listening, speaking, reading, and writing about subject area content material.
4. Extended Listening: assesses whether the student can learn new information in English.
The Speaking section is administered in a one-on-one setting. The test administrator sits with a student and asks a series of questions. The student’s responses are scored on the spot by the test administrator.
There are 5 items types in the speaking tests:
1. Oral Vocabulary – student identifies objects or actions and state antonyms
2. Speech Functions – student asks a question related to a situation
3. Personal Opinion – student gives reason to support an opinion
4. Story Retelling – student hears story then repeats it
5. Graph Interpretation – student looks at graph and speaks about the information on the graph

Facilitator Notes:
Scoring Procedure:
-
To prepare for the practice, ask the participants to turn to the Level A Question 5: Read Aloud for Fluency in the DFA and Scoring Guide. Clip a blank acetate transparency over page 20 or insert the Scoring Guide into a clear sheet protector. The participants now have the transparency placed directly over the Fluency text.
-
As the student reads, participants follow along using text in DFA and Scoring Guide.
-
Participants mark the student errors on transparency as they occur by drawing a line through the text with dry erase pen. Participants need only mark the error, not record the type of error.
-
Participants mark where student stops the reading at end of allotted time by drawing a vertical line.
-
See rubric in DFA and Scoring Guide for scoring student response.
-
Clean transparency after each student.
Note: Model and practice this procedure during sample responses.
This is where you will practice using the rubric to score student responses. For this activity, participants will refer Training Items on the following pages in the DFA and Scoring Guide. It will be helpful to have participants tab the pages for quick reference.
-
Ask participants to review the Script for Training Items so they are familiar with the script format and content.
-
Ask participants to turn to back to the rubric.
-
Facilitator plays training CD Tracks 48-49.
-
Participants listen to Question 5 followed by student response, Score 4. (Tracks 48-49)
-
Facilitator pauses the CD and ask participants to discuss why that particular response scored a 4. Refer to rubric.
-
Repeat this process for scores 3, 2, 1 and 0, Tracks 50-53.
-
The facilitator will now play training item Example A , Track 54 and ask participants to practice scoring using the rubric and the training items.
-
After the participants practice scoring Example A, ask them to compare scores with a partner or table-mates.
-
Ask participants to turn to the Answer Key for Training Items. Facilitator shares ETS score and words counted as errors.
-
Invite discussion about items when necessary.
-
Repeat steps 7-10 for the following Example training items:
Example B, Track 55
Example C, Track 56
Example D, Track 57
Example E, Tracks 58
-
-
For additional practice, continue steps 7-10 with Examples F-J, Tracks 59-63.
-
Note: Often after practice and scoring, participants raise questions about the “allowed” usage of probing questions and prompts. The facilitator will need to keep participants focused on the purpose of CELLA; to measure English Language Proficiency.
