Re: Science DSS --Grade 4

Dear AATNs,

It has come to our attention that the Data Summary Sheet for Grade 4 1st
Science Required Component: Standard 1 -- Scientific Inquiry has a typo
in the numeric designation for one of the choice components. Currently
it reads "Key Idea 3: Testing proposed explanations". It should read
"Key Idea 2: Testing proposed explanations". Please direct your teachers
to use the updated Data Summary Sheet, see attached. The NYSAA Test
Blueprint for Science, the Frameworks for Grade 4 Science, and the NYSAA
Planning Tool for Grade 4 are all correct. Profile will be updated to
reflect the updated Data Summary Sheet, as will the Administration
Manual that is on the Department's website. Additionally, the Department
will take this into account when developing the Decision Rules.

Please let us know if you have any further questions regarding this.
Thank you,
Kelly
