  14. Achievement vs. Growth Achievement Growth, Value-Added, TVAAS • Measures students with grade-level tests (TCAP, EOC, etc.) • In Tennessee, students are usually ranked as Advanced, Proficient, Basic, or Below Basic • Measures students based on their own testing histories • Predicts a score for each test from that history, then reports whether student scored above, at, or below that score. Reports are published for teachers, schools, and districts.

  15. Stair-Step Expectations • In a perfect world: • Students start at the same place • Students progress at the same pace • Achievement test scores are enough to show growth

  16. Perfect World First/Last Day of School - 3 Students • Time is the constant • Variables: Achievement & Progress START/FINISH

  17. Differentiated Reality • In reality: • Students start at different places • Students progress at different rates • Need more than scores on a single test to show teacher, school, or system effectiveness

  18. One Year’s Growth for One Child • Time is the constant • Variables: Achievement & Progress START/FINISH

  19. Reality Progress after One Year – 3 Students Lessthan Expected Growth Morethan Expected Growth ExpectedGrowth • Time is the constant • Variables: Achievement & Progress START/FINISH

  20. Why Value-Added is Necessary Student A Standard Proficiency Student B Grade We must expect progress for ALL students

  21. Typical Achievement Report

  22. Typical Growth Report

  23. What can the Instructional Data Coach do for you? • Student test histories (all subjects, grades) • Student test scores from last two years, broken down by curriculum strands within subjects • Student score projections • Standards, pacing guides, practice tests • Teaching strategies, formative assessments • Collaboration, resources
