  1. Update4th Cycle MSIP Full Review Submitted by: Dr. Cleopatra Figgures, Chief Accountability Officer 2008-09

  2. Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP) • The Process of accrediting (classifying) districts was mandated by Missouri law through MSIP in 1950. • MSIP reviews and accredits the 524 school districts within five year review cycles. • About 20% of the districts are reviewed each year of a cycle and a report covering the areas of resource, process and performance standards, is developed. • The report, called the APR (Annual Performance Report), recommends and presents an accreditation status to the State Board of Education (SBOE). St. Louis Public Schools

  3. The Process of Accreditation • Public School Districts in Missouri can be classified as: Accredited, Provisionally Accredited or Unaccredited. • Unaccredited means that the district did not meet quantitative and qualitative standards in educational resources, instructional process and education performance outcomes set by DESE. • Unaccredited districts must undergo a Full MSIP Review within each 5 year cycle period. • The State is currently in the 4th Cycle of reviews which began in July, 2006. St. Louis Public Schools

  4. The 4th Cycle Full MSIP Review Process • Phase I of the 4th Cycle of the Full MSIP Review will occur April 27-30 • The review is focused on teaching and learning, i.e., performance standards, and will include: • Visits to observe instruction in every school and every classroom by a team of educators from across the state • Focus groups and interviews with school and central office staff, that are related to teaching and learning in our schools • Visits to schools and review of program/budget records reviewed to determine condition and status Phase 2 of the 4th Cycle of the MSIP Review will occur May 5-7 when reviewers compile “findings” from the observations and interviews into a report St. Louis Public Schools

  5. Identification of Standards • The standards looked at during a review outline the state’s vision and expectations for a quality school district. There are 3 types: • Resource Standards - address requirements all districts must met with minimums determined by the State and desired determined by research; they are most operational and quantitative in nature • Process Standards - address instructional and administrative processes used in schools and include instruction, school services and supplemental programs • Performance Standards - include multiple measures of student performance as determined by DESE St. Louis Public Schools

  6. Success Benchmark: Attaining Accrediation • During the 4th MSIP Cycle, the accreditation level of a school district will be determined only by “performance” standards • For K-12 districts, 14 performance standards will be evaluated and receive points using status and progress measures to determine if the standard was met. Eight to ten “mets” are required to gain accreditation. • The 14 performance standards are: • MAP achievement in reading and math (6 points) • Graduation rate (1 point) • Subgroup AYP achievement (1 point) • ACT, Advance Courses, Career Education Courses, College Placement and Career Education Placement (5 points) • Attendance Rate (1 point) • Reading level achievement (0 points) St. Louis Public Schools

  7. Scoring Guide for Performance Standards • Solution: The performance standards will be evaluated using status and progress measures: • “Status” measures the district’s level of achievement based upon a five year average of performance data • H1; H2; Average; Below Average and Floor • “Progress” measures the district’s improvement over a five year period in two ways: • Annual – improvement from year to year • Rolling Average – improvement shown by comparing two year averages. • The expectation is for the district to meet/exceed state means and show consistent improvement St. Louis Public Schools

  8. Summation: After the Review • The goal of the MSIP is to promote school improvement within each district and on a statewide basis • After the review, the APR will be completed and returned to SLPS • SLPS will address issues found from the MSIP Review/APR by completing an Accountability Plan to be followed over the next two years • MSIP/APR will use district level data to determine accreditation St. Louis Public Schools
