  1. The Power of 2 PROGRESS & ACHIEVEMENT <X>School District Pennsylvania Value-Added Assessment System (PVAAS)

  2. PDE Data Tools

  3. Stair-Step Expectations Grade Three Grade Four Grade Five Grade 3 Test Grade 4 Test Grade 5 Test In a perfect world students would start school at about the same academic level. Proficiency levels could simply be achieved by students gaining age-appropriate knowledge and skills each year.

  4. Differentiated Reality Grade Three Grade Four Grade Five Grade 3 Test Grade 4 Test Grade 5 Test Students begin school at different places; they often progress at different rates. Yet all students are expected to achieve the same level of academic proficiency each year.

  5. The Need for Progress Measures Grade Three Grade Four Grade Five Grade 3 Test Grade 4 Test Grade 5 Test To measure school effectiveness in this “differentiated” world, we need to pay attention not only to proficiency levels, but also to how much progress students make in a given year.

  6. PVAASIS: • Another tool for continuous school improvement • A statistical analysis of existing assessment data (PSSA). • A realistic measurement of a school’s progress/growth over time. • Not to be used in isolation • Progress data to add to achievement data as schools are analyzing their work with students and making improvement plans.

  7. PVAAS is NOT: • Another Test • A measure for teacher accountability

  8. The PVAAS Methodologies Looking Forward/Planning… PVAAS Projection Reports For Individual Students and Cohorts of Students Looking Back/Evaluation… Value-added Growth Reports For Cohorts of Students Today

  9. PVAAS Fall 2008 Reporting(math, rdg; wrtg; science: coming late fall) • Value-added growth reports for grades 4 through 8, and 11 (Last’s years cohorts) • Projections to basic, proficient, advanced • Grade last tested - 3  4 or 5 (future PSSAs) • Grade last tested - 4  5 or 6 (future PSSAs) • Grade last tested - 5  6 or 7 (future PSSAs) • Grade last tested - 6  7 or 8 (future PSSAs) • Grade last tested - 7  8 (future PSSAs) • Grade last tested - 8  11 (future PSSAs)

  10. Student Projections Wouldn’t it be great to know the likelihood that a student will be proficient on a future PSSA?

  11. Student Projection Methodology • A separate longitudinal modeling process focused on the performance scores of individual students. • The model uses all of the available data (both math and reading) to project future PSSA performances in Math and Reading. • Projections can be calculated for an individual student or groups of students.

  17. What Does This Mean to You? • The district could provide you each with the probability of students in your classrooms (current grades 4-9) • Grade level/course specific teams can collaborate to make sure adequate supports are in place for all students to reach success.

  18. How could we use this information? • For students with each level of probability of proficiency, what do we need to keep doing to keep at this level? What do we need to do to increase the level of probability? • 70-100% likelihood of proficiency • – what is our action plan? • 40-70% likelihood of proficiency • – what is our action plan? Goal date for proficiency? • 0-40% likelihood of proficiency • – what is our action plan? Goal date for proficiency?

  19. Value-Added Wouldn’t it be great to know if we made one year’s growth with last year’s 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders? 11th graders?

  20. Value-Added Measure of Cohort Growth • Comparison to a State Growth Standard • The Growth Standard specifies the minimal designated academic gain from grade to grade for a cohort of students. • The use of a Growth Standard creates the possibility that ALL schools can demonstrate appropriate growth.

  21. PVAAS Value-added CohortGrowth Descriptors

  22. PVAAS School ReportGrades 4 through 8 Every grade in the school has met or exceeded a year’s worth of growth? (“Getting Results!”™, p. 12)

  23. 11th Grade Growth Descriptors

  24. Grade 11 School Report

  25. Performance Diagnostic Report Every performance levels (below basic, basic, proficient, advanced) in each grade has met or exceeded a year’s worth of growth? (“Getting Results!”™, p. 12)

  26. What the whiskers tell us… Exceeded Growth Standard; More than One Year’s Growth Green Met the Growth Standard; Made One Year’s Growth Yellow Growth Standard (One Year’s Growth) Below Growth Standard; Less than One Year’s Growth Rose

  27. Patterns: Performance Diagnostic Report Every performance level (below basic, basic, proficient, advanced) in each grade has met or exceeded a year’s worth of growth? (“Getting Results!”™, p. 12)

  29. What Does This Mean to You? • The district could provide each grade level/course specific team with their growth reports • Grades 4-8, and 11 (Last’s years cohorts) • Subgroup reporting

  30. How could we use this information? • At a grade level/course specific team, discuss why and how you may have gotten the growth results on the report? • Which students made a year’s worth of growth? • Which did not? • Why? Why not? • What is our team’s plan of action as a grade level/course specific team?

  31. Where do we go from here? • How do we plan to use our PVAAS data this next month? This school year? • Value-added reports • Diagnostic reports • Student projections • How do we plan to share our PVAAS data? • With other Administrators? • With Teachers? • With Parents? • With Others? District Goal: PVAAS will be used by teachers and administrators for annual school evaluation and planning, grade/subject level evaluation and planning, and for student level planning.
