2018 SUMMARY OF STUDENT RESULTS 3/19/2025
2018 M-STEP and MME Summative Test The M-STEP and MME are summative tests given to students in grades 3-8 & 11 once a year in late Spring. They provide a snapshot of student progress in learning Michigan academic standards which educators believe students should know and be able to do to be career/college ready by graduation. 2 3/19/2025
2018 M-STEP and MME Summative Test The more aligned a schools curriculum and the more students learn, the higher state test scores are likely to be. While state assessments are just one of several ways student progress is measured, including local tests, classroom work and report cards, they can help families and teachers understand where students are doing well and where they may need additional support. 3 3/19/2025
2018 M-STEP Test Administration Nearly 99% of schools administered the M-STEP to students online compared to 80% in 2015. Fast results! Preliminary results within 24-48 hours; final results released August 29, prior to the beginning of the school year. 4 3/19/2025
2018 M-STEP Test Administration, contd Test Administration went smoothly for most schools. School testing issues have been reduced 90%. Students are spending more time in the classroom and less less time on testing. 5 3/19/2025
Parent and School Communication Tools MDE developed several tools for districts and schools to share with staff and parents. The How to Read M-STEP and MME Fall 2018 Report on Student Scores now updated for 2018, which visually walks viewers through the M-STEP/MME parent reports. clickable image of video screen shot 6 3/19/2025

Student Testing, What Parents Can Do to Help Students Prepare contains meaningful ways parents can support student learning and test preparation. 7 3/19/2025
Result Summary Results in 2018 show student proficiency gains in: English language arts scores in grades 3 and 4 (This represents the first increase since in these grades and subjects since the M-STEP was first administered in 2015.) Mathematics scores in grade 6 Social studies scores in grade 11 8 3/19/2025
Result Summary (contd) SAT writing scores have continued to show slight increases since they were first administered in 2016.

New Efforts to Improve Future Results Three years ago, Michigan identified early literacy gaps as a focus area for policy and program support for learners, and established a set of initial support mechanisms to address the learning gaps. These programs have since been initiated with educators over the last few years. The programs, created and funded by the legislature, support specific recommendations to ensure that all students have strong literacy skills by the time the end of third grade. 15 3/19/2025
Early Literacy Programs Instructional time grants: help schools provide extra help for students who struggle in reading and other literacy skills ISD literacy coaches: assist schools and teachers in addressing instructional needs to help struggling students Assessment reimbursement grants: help districts purchase screening and diagnostic tools to help identify specific student needs, and provided targeted support Professional learning funds: to create a literacy coach network and resources to help educators learn and implement best practices to support all students, including those with specialized needs (e.g., English learners, students with disabilities, and others. 16 3/19/2025
Additional Funding for Districts MDE also is distributing to school districts over $20 million appropriated by state legislature for 2017-18 for additional instructional time to K-3 students who need additional supports and interventions in order to be reading at grade level by the end of third grade. 17 3/19/2025
Partnerships Several organizations are partnering with MDE to provide a consistent, coherent support infrastructure, so that all early literacy efforts are focused on the same needs. MDE and Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators (MAISA) teamed up with literacy experts to form a task force. Developed the Essential Instructional Practices for different learners, including K-3, early learners, and now adolescent and young adult learners. 18 3/19/2025
Partnerships, contd. These efforts have just begun to reach Michigan educators and students in child care settings and classrooms throughout the state. As they become more fully implemented, more of Michigan s children will have the literacy skills they need to succeed. 19 3/19/2025
Making MI a Top 10 Education State The third and fourth-graders in school today are the kids who are benefitting from the investments in early childhood education programs over the past several years, said Interim State Superintendent Sheila Alles. We want to thank Governor Snyder and state legislature for their persistent commitment to early childhood education that is beginning to bear fruit. These are the footholds we need in our ambitious efforts to make Michigan a Top 10 education state in 10 years. 20 3/19/2025
