Kentucky’s New Assessment and Accountability Model June 2011 Next Generation Learners
Participants will understand Kentucky’s New Assessment and Accountability Model. This session’s Target
The Kentucky Board of Education approved regulation 703 KAR 5:200 on April 13, 2011 The regulation is still under review and has not been finalized yet. Minor changes could occur between now and then based on recommendations from these groups Still being finalized . . .
Elementary and Middle Schools Reading, writing and math based on new Kentucky Core Standards Grade 3 will have multiple choice and short answer only (new) Grades 4-8 will have MC, short answer, and open/extended response Science and social studies continue with existing Kentucky Core Content until new standards are released Nationally norm-referenced section embedded in the test for reading, math, science and social studies Nationally norm-referenced portion is Stanford On-Demand format will use prompts Editing and mechanics may have MC and short answer Vendor is Pearson Assessments
High School • End-of-course – English II, Algebra II, Biology, and US History • Not grade-specific; to be taken when a student completes a course • May be used for a percentage of a student’s final grade in that course (20% is KDE recommendation) • Test will be linked to enrollment in a course procedures about withdrawal dates are currently being developed • Vendor is ACT Quality Core • On-Demand format will use prompts • Editing and mechanics will come from PLAN (multiple choice) Assessments
Beginning in 2011-2012 . . . Last 14 instructional days of the district’s calendar Maximum of 5 days testing, with the other days to be used for make-up testing NOTE: EOCs will occur at various times throughout the school year Assessment Window

Achievement = proficiency Achievement for elementary and middle schools is based on performance on the reading, math, science, social studies and on-demand writing tests Achievement for high school is based on performance on the end-of-course exams and the on-demand writing test Achievement (Proficiency)
For each content area . . . • 1 point awarded for each % scoring proficient or distinguished • 0.5 points awarded for each % scoring apprentice • 0 points awarded for novice Bonus Additional 0.5 awarded for each % distinguished combined with -0.5 for each % novice Bonus points awarded in the amount that distinguished offsets novice (NOTE: No points will be taken away if novice offsets distinguished). Achievement Calculation
Gap = distance of the gap group from the goal of 100% proficiency • Gap calculation for elementary and middle schools is based on performance on the reading, math, science, social studies and on-demand writing tests • Gap calculation for high school is based on performance on the end-of-course exams and the on-demand writing test Gap
The Student Gap Group is an aggregate count of the following student groups: Ethnicity/race (Af. Am., Hisp., Nat. Am.) Special education Poverty (free/reduced lunch) Limited English Proficiency Non-duplicated Gap Group
Non-duplicated counts of students in the gap student groups who score proficient or higher are summed. • This yields a single gap number of proficient or higher students with no student counting more than one time. • For each subject area, the % of students scoring proficient or distinguished in the Non-duplicated Gap Group is reported. Gap Calculation
Student 1: Donatello – AA, FR, (proficient) Student 2: Ricky – W, FR, and Spec. Ed. Student 3: Enrique – LEP, FR Student 4: Michelle – FR Student 5: Marco – LEP, FR, and Spec. Ed GAP Example
The achievement of all individual groups will still be disaggregated and reported as they always have been, however . . . Gap reporting for accountability purposes will include only the % of student in the combined non-duplicated Gap Group scoring at proficient and distinguished level. More about the Gap Category

Growth = comparison of an individual student’s score from one year to the next; uses a Student Growth Percentile based on actual growth of student’s similar academic peers • Growth for elementary and middle schools is based on performance on the reading and math tests • Growth for high schools is based on PLAN to ACT in reading and math Growth
Growth comparisons are made to similar performing “academic peers.” • Low, typical and high growth scales will be determined based on actual student performance state-wide. • These are equal-interval, percentile-based scales. • Based on model currently used by Massachusetts Department of Education Growth Scales
For reading and math . . . 1 point for each % of students showing typical or high growth 0 points for low growth Growth Calculation
College/Career Readiness = number of graduates successfully meeting an indicator of readiness Readiness for middle schools is based on performance on EXPLORE test Readiness for high schools is based on ACT, college placement tests and career measures College/Career Readiness
Stop and review your notes, jot down more thoughts, and ask questions Reflection
Middle Schools % of students meeting the ACT-established benchmarks for EXPLORE in reading, English and math is averaged to generate an overall readiness percentage EXPLORE Benchmarks Reading – 15 English – 13 Math – 17 College/Career Readiness Calculation
High Schools % of graduating seniors who meet at least one of the following readiness indicators: Meets all of the ACT benchmarks (Reading: 20, English: 18, Math: 19), OR Passes a college placement test (COMPASS, KYOTE), OR Receives an industry-recognized career certificate (other possible measures forthcoming) College/Career Readiness Calculation
Graduation Rate = % of students graduating Average Freshman Graduation Rate (AFGR) is current transitional reporting model Federally-mandated Graduation Cohort Model goes into effect in three years Graduation Rate
