ESEA ACCOUNTABILITY JAMESVILLE-DEWITT 2014-2015
Accountability Measures At the elementary/middle level, New York State reports student proficiency in 1) English language arts (ELA), 2) mathematics, and 3) science. At the secondary level, New York State reports student proficiency in 1) ELA, 2) mathematics, and 3) graduation rate.
Accountability Groups For each accountability measure, New York State reports data on the following “accountability” groups: • All Students • American Indian or Alaska Native Students • Black or African American Students • Hispanic or Latino Students • Asian or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander Students • White Students • Multiracial Students • Students with Disabilities* • Limited English Proficient (LEP) Students (also known as English Language Learners – ELLs)* • Economically Disadvantaged Students* *Students are included in the Students with Disabilities, LEP Students, or Economically Disadvantaged Students group if they were reported to the Department in the Student Information Repository System (SIRS) as being a member of the group at any time during the reporting year.
Adequate Yearly Progress: Participation and Performance Schools and districts must meet pre-defined participationand performance criteria on New York State’s accountability measures to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).
Participation CriterionElementary/Middle Level For an accountability group with 40 or more students enrolled during the test administration period to meet the participation criterion in English language arts (ELA) or mathematics, 95 percent of these students must have valid scores on an appropriate assessment. For an accountability group with 40 or more students enrolled during the test administration period to meet the participation criterion in science, 80 percent of these students must have valid scores on an appropriate assessment.
Participation CriterionSecondary Level For an accountability group with 40 or more 12th graders to meet the participation criterion in English language arts (ELA) or mathematics, 95 percent of the 12th graders must have valid scores on Regents examinations (or approved alternatives), Regents competency tests (or approved alternatives), or New York State Alternate Assessments.
Performance Index (PI) A Performance Index (PI) is a value from 0 to 200 that is assigned to an accountability group, indicating how that group performed on a required State test (or approved alternative) in English language arts, mathematics, or science. PIs are determined using the performance levels and equations on the following slides. 9
Performance Levels Elementary/Middle-LevelELA and Mathematics Student performance in elementary/middle-level ELA and mathematics is determined using a Performance Index (PI) calculation. This calculation uses six levels of student achievement: Level 1 On Track = Basic and On Track to Proficient Level 1 Not On Track = Basic and NOT On Track to Proficient Level 2 On Track= Basic Proficient and On Track to Proficient Level 2 Not On Track = Basic Proficient and NOT On Track to Proficient Level 3= Proficient Level 4 = Advanced
Performance Index (PI) FormulaElementary/Middle-LevelELA and Mathematics PI = [(number of continuously enrolled tested students scoring at Level 1 On Track + Level 1 On Track + Level 2 On Track + Level 2 On Track + Level 2 NOT On Track + Level 3 + Level 3 + Level 4 + Level 4) ÷ number of continuously enrolled tested students] 100
Performance Levels Elementary/Middle-Level Science and Secondary-Level ELA and Mathematics Student performance in elementary/middle-level science and secondary-level ELA and mathematics is also determined using a Performance Index (PI) calculation. This calculation uses four levels of student achievement: Level 1 = Basic Level 2 = Basic Proficient Level 3= Proficient Level 4 = Advanced 12
Performance Index (PI) FormulaElementary/Middle-Level Science and Secondary-Level ELA and Mathematics Elementary/Middle Level Science: PI = [(number of continuously enrolled tested students scoring at Levels 2, 3, and 4 + the number scoring at Levels 3 and 4) ÷ number of continuously enrolled tested students] 100 Secondary Level ELA and Mathematics: PI = [(number of cohort members scoring at Levels 2, 3, and 4 + the number scoring at Levels 3 and 4) ÷ number of cohort members] 100 13
Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) and State Standards The Annual Measurable Objective (AMO)is the PI value that signifies that an accountability group is making satisfactory progress toward pre-determined goals. These values increase from year to year and are different for ELA, mathematics, and science. AMOs are available at http://www.p12.nysed.gov/irs/accountability/amos/. State Standard is the PI value that signifies minimally satisfactory performance in graduation rate. The graduation-rate state standard is currently 80%.
What Does This Mean? Buildings appear to be OK with all groups meeting performance objectives District has one group which did not meet AYP due to participation for the second year. State will provide direction.
