2. ActivityScavenger Hunt

3. Agenda • Overview of Student Academic Progress component • Rating Tables • SGP and SGT

4. Components and Percentages 33% Student Academic Progress 50% Teaching Performance 17% Student Academic Progress

5. Student Academic Progress • 40 points(33%) • Three categories • Achievement • Growth (24 points=20%) • Career and College Ready

6. Student Academic Progress Every Teacher is responsible for the following data: • Classroom SLO(S) • Targeted SLO(s) • Prior year classroom level data • (e.g., AIMS, AZELLA)

7. Rating Tables vary Content Grade level

8. Achievement Current Year Classroom Roster: • Classroom SLO (s) • DIBELS composite: percent of students at benchmark by the end of year Prior Year Classroom Roster: • Percent at or above the 4thStanine on Stanford 10- reading, language and mathematics • Percent passing AIMS- reading, mathematics and science • Percent proficient on AZELLA

9. Growth Current Year Classroom Roster: • Targeted SLO(s) • DIBELs (Initial Sound Fluency-ISF) • DIBELs (Phoneme Segmentation Fluency-PSF) • DIBELs (Nonsense Word-Word Fluency-NWF-CLS) • DIBELs (Oral Reading Fluency-ORF) Prior Year Classroom Roster: • Student growth percentile (SGP) • Student growth target (SGT) • Percentile rank on Stanford 10 language and mathematics • Student growth from one performance level to the next performance level on AZELLA

10. Career and College Ready Prior Year Data: • Attendance rate (school-level) • Graduation rate (school-level) • Grade 8 students who earn Exceeds on AIMS reading and/or mathematics • CCR equivalent scores- reading and mathematics • Reduction in Falls Far Below AIMS Reading

11. Activity: Think, Pair, Share

24. Activity: • Find one teacher who teaches the same grade level and/or content area as you • Discuss the questions you have for the data used for your evaluation • Write down your questions on a post-it note

25. Break

26. Q&A

27. SGP and SGT

28. Arizona Growth Model Growth Percentile Growth Target Growth Ratio

29. Rock-n-Roll Arizona Marathon PF Chang’s

30. When you are preparing for a marathon there are three extrinsic rewards you are aiming for: • 1st place • Best time • Finish the race

31. 2013 Rock-n-Roll Arizona Marathon • Christie Foster from Sierra Vista, AZ placed: • 1st for the women, and • 6th place overall. • Her time was 2:44:41

32. Growth Percentile How are you improving compared to peers? Students’ growth compared to their academic peers across the state. Growth Targets What amount of sustained growth is necessary to reach a target? A criterion to measure against to gauge whether the growth achieved in one year is enough to reach a goal. Her goal time for this year’s race was 2:40. Her completion time was 2:44:41.

33. Growth Target Christie’s goal* is to clock a time of 2:38 in the 2015 Marathon so she set benchmarks each year prior to prepare and train appropriately to reach her goal. How close did she come to reachingthe 2013 benchmark goal of 2:40 (160 mins)? 2:38 2:40 160 min (2:40) 164 min (2:44) = .98 2:44 .98 *Hypothetical example

34. The ADE calculates percentiles and growth targets for each student in reading and mathematics What do they mean to schools, teachers, and parents?

35. ? Meets ? ? 43rd PR

36. Within the student’s peer group across the state, which SGP did this student have to acquire to be on track? Meets 67th PR 43rd PR

37. Growth Ratio • Was the student’s actual growth enough to reach the target? Expected Percentile Actual Percentile = • Growth Achieved Growth Ratio ≥1, on track (the growth is enough to reach the target) Growth Ratio < 1, not on track (the growth is not enough to reach the target)

38. Meets 67th PR 43rd PR 43rd PR = 0.64 0.64 67th PR

39. Student Growth Target for 2014 Which SGP does the student need to achieve in order to be on-track to meet the goal of proficient by grade 7? Meets Very High High Typical Low 43rd PR Very Low

40. Grade 52013 Grade 62014 Grade 72015 Grade 52013 Grade 62014 Grade 72015

41. Reflection: Understanding which Student Data will be used on my Evaluation Red – Stop I don’t understand Yellow- Proceed with Caution Green- Good To Go
