Update on AYP and Education YES!MAS-FPS Winter 2006 Michigan Department of Education
Accountability Components • Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) • No Child Left Behind Act • State Accreditation – Education YES! • Michigan Revised School Code
Scores Used for AYP • The scores of all tested students must be used in the AYP determination • Valid scores in English language arts and mathematics cannot be ignored
AYP Participation • Aggregate percent tested across all grades tested at the school Total Number Tested (grades 3+4+5) Total Number Enrolled (grades 3+4+5)
AYP Proficiency • Aggregate percent proficient across all grades tested at the school Total Number Proficient (grades 3+4+5) Total Number Tested (grades 3+4+5)
Michigan Performance Standards • Set by Panels of Michigan educators and citizens, approved by State Board • Panels will started with cut scores from 2004-05 impact data • Result will be vertically articulated standards across grades • The difficulty at a particular grade level will be very similar to the difficulty at adjacent grade levels
Full Academic YearCurrent Definition • Students enrolled in the school for the two most recent semi-annual official count days • Students in their first year in a school because of the grade structure of the school if the student was, in the previous year, enrolled in another school in the same district • for example, a student “graduating” from a K-4 elementary school to a 5-8 middle school
Full Academic Year 2005-06 • MDE will ask for Federal Approval of Full Academic Year OF 372 days • Lowest Grade in the School • Send Sores to: • MEAP feeder school, or • SRSD end of year enrollment
AYP Targets 2005-06 • The published AYP targets will not change • MDE plans to set separate statewide AYP targets for each grade, and combine the grade level targets into a school target using a weighted average of the targets for the grades tested at the school
AYP Target Examples • Grade Level Targets K-8 • AYP based on grades 3-8 compared to average of targets for grades 3, 4,5, 6, 7, and 8 • Grade Level Targets K-5 • AYP proficiency based on grades 3-6 compared to average of targets for grades 3, 4, 5, and 6
Group Size • ALL schools are given an AYP status • Group Size applies to subgroups – NOT to all students
Minimum Group SizeState Board Approved • If the number Tested (all grades) is • 100 or less - 30 • 101-125 - 35 • 126-150 - 40 • Over 150 - Minimum N (30) PLUS a Percentage (10%) of Grade Range Enrollment • If total enrollment is more than 3,000 • 1% Percent of Total Enrollment • District AYP • Maximum subgroup size is 200
AYP and Students with Disabilities • Federal Rules – 1% cap – 2003 • Federal Flexibility - 2005 • Michigan was one of 3 states approved to use an existing test • New Federal Proposed Rules • Now available for comments • Will take effect in 2006-07
Proposed Federal Rules • Published December 15, 2005 • Comment Period Ends February 28 • 2% cap applies to “Modified Achievement Standards” • reflect reduced breadth or depth of grade-level content • States would NOT be allowed to approve exceptions to the 2% cap
AYP and Students with Disabilities • For 2005-06 we EXPECT that: • ALL Functional Independence assessments will count with no local cap (2% state cap) • Participation and Supported Independence Assessments will be subject to the 1% district level cap • New applications will not be needed for exception to the 1% cap
AYP ReliabilityMargin of Error • Sources of Error • Measurement Error - APPROVED • Would the student score the same if tested again? • Standard Error of Measurement • Sampling Error – NOT APPROVED • Does the sample of students tested reflect the whole school? • Standard Error of Proportion with Finite Sampling Error Correction
NCLB Graduation Rate • NCLB requires that AYP include a graduation rate based on the percentage of students that • Receive a REGULAR high school diploma • In the STANDARD number of years • AYP (including a graduation rate) is required for ALL schools
Graduation Rates • Michigan has reported (since 1989) Graduation Rates using a single year of data • Michigan will move to a “cohort method” of reporting Graduation Rates • The “cohort method” will not be be used until the class of 2007 and will include rates for each student group
Graduation Rates for 2005-06 AYP • CEPI will use SRSD to calculate graduation rates for the class of 2005 • There will be no exclusion of alternative schools • CEPI will provide a data review and will receive data corrections (Spring 2006) • These rates will be used for AYP in 2006
Graduation RatesCohort Method • Start with students enrolled in grade 9 for the first time • Develop rules for • Transfers Out • Transfers In • Measure percent graduated at • 4 year rate • 5 year rate
