  1. Review and Discussionof AMAO 2 Criteria & Targets NC Department of Public Instruction With WestEd & Wisconsin Center for Education Research Statewide Web Conference August 30, 2010

  2. Purpose Review and comment on recommendations for changes to NC State Board of Education policy GCS-A-012, Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives for NCLB Title III • NCDPI Recommendations in August • Policy Revisions to SBE in September NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  3. Session Agenda • Introduction and Purpose (Ground Rules) • Historical Perspective and 1-year Recap • AMAO 2 Proficiency Criteria (Comprehensive Objective Composite,COC) Review and Comparison (2009 & 2010) • AMAO 2 Targets for Consideration: 2009-10 and Beyond • Next Steps & Meeting Wrap Up NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting 3

  4. Introductions New NCDPI Staff • Scott Beaudry, Testing Policy & Operations Special Guests • Robert Linquanti, WestEd • Gary Cook, Wisconsin Center for Education Research • Shirley Carraway, Appalachia Regional Comprehensive Center NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  5. Historical Perspective In 2007-2008: 1. Determined revisions to AMAOs 1 & 2 needed • Criteria were too loose or too stringent • Targets set without federal guidance • Targets not based on empirical data 2. Determined new standards and assessments needed • ACCESS for ELLs would replace IPT 3. Determined that AMAO 1 criteria and targets would be revised after two years of ACCESS for ELLs data was gathered. NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  6. Historical Perspective: AMAO 2 In 2007-2008, cont’d.: • Decided to keep the criterion for proficiency the same for 2007-08 • 2007-08 target was set at 17% to account for differences in using Form A and Form B of the IPT • Targets for 2008-09 and beyond removed as they needed to be based on empirical results from new ELP assessment NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  7. Last Year Recap: AMAO 2 In 2008-09: • Per USED Notice of Final Interpretations (2008): • Only one data point needed to calculate AMAO 2 for each ELL • All ELLs (K-12) must be included in calculation • 2008-09 ACCESS results used to define COC and new, one-year target for 2008-09 (14.7%) • Decision made to set future targets after examining another year of ACCESS results NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  8. Last Year Recap: AMAO 2 In 2008-09, cont’d.: • Stakeholders endorsed state-recommended COC derived from analyses of student performance on 2008-09 ACCESS and state’s reading and math assessments • Overall 4.8, R & W each 4.0 minimum NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  9. AMAO 2 Proficiency Criteria (COC) Review & Comparison (2009 & 2010) • Purpose: Replicate analysis performed in 2008-09 to validate COC criteria chosen • Apply same decision consistency method to 2009-10 ACCESS and EOG/EOC reading and math assessments NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  10. Decision Consistency Method • These analyses identify language proficiency level that optimally classifies students as true-positives or true-negatives on both NC EOG/EOC Reading & Math Assessments and ACCESS NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  11. Decision Matrix NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  12. Decision Matrix Correct = 68% NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  13. Decision Matrix Correct = 85% NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  14. Reading to ACCESS: 2009 NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  15. Mathematics to ACCESS: 2009 NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  16. Comparing DC Analysis, 2009 to 2010: Reading to ACCESS, Grades 3-5 NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  17. Comparing DC Analysis, 2009 to 2010: Reading to ACCESS, Grades 6-8 NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  18. Comparing DC Analysis, 2009 to 2010: Reading to ACCESS, Grades 9-12 NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  19. Comparing DC Analysis, 2009 to 2010: Math to ACCESS, Grades 3-5 NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  20. Comparing DC Analysis, 2009 to 2010: Math to ACCESS, Grades 6-8 NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  21. Comparing DC Analysis, 2009 to 2010: Math to ACCESS, Grades 9-12 NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  22. AMAO 2 Criterion Confirmed Comprehensive Objective Composite (COC) Current English language proficiency definition on the ACCESS test holds: • Composite score of at least 4.8 and at least 4.0 on Reading subtest and 4.0 on Writing subtest. Note: Students who attain the COC as defined above exit LEP identification. Those who do not remain identified LEP. NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  23. REMINDER:2009-10 AMAO 2 Cohort Definition Cohort definition required by federal law: • ALL LEP students (K-12) must be included in AMAO 2 calculation Numerator = # of LEP students attaining COC Denominator = #of LEP students required to test NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  24. Historical AMAO 2 Target Data *All 2009-10 results are unofficial

  25. NC LEA and State AMAO 2 Performance Using Current AMAO 2 Criterion: Shows percentage of LEPs meeting COC performance level for LEAs at that ranking and Statewide NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  26. 2010-2019 Annual Targets for LEAs & State using 2010 as Base Year AMAO 2 Recommended Targets for Consideration • Proposed target for 2009-10 is 11.8% of LEP students in an LEA attaining English language proficiency. • Proposed end point in 2018-19 is 16.8% of LEP students in an LEA attaining English language proficiency. 75 %ile 25 %ile NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  27. Target Recommendation: 2010-2019 • Set the 2009-10 target at 11.8% (25th %ile) • Set the 2018-19 target at 16.8% (75th %ile) • Structure targets to increase by equal increments each year (0.55 percentage points) NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  28. 2009-10 AMAO Analysis • AMAO 1 Criteria and targets are the same • improve at least one proficiency level in at least one of the subtests of reading, writing, speaking, or listening • Target = 70%

  29. 2009-10 Analysis (continued) Sanctions for AMAOs Not Met • In 2008-09, Title III status based on whether or not the LEA failed to make progress toward meeting the same AMAO • Starting in 2009-10, Title III status based on failure to meet the AMAOs

  30. GCS-A-012 Revisions • Show Draft Policy • Policy to SBE in September as Action on First Read

  31. Next Steps (for 2009-10 data) • Updated GCS-A-012 sent to USED for Title III Workbook and Title III Plan submission • Preliminary AMAO report sent to districts for review in September • AMAO report presented to SBE in November NCDPI AMAO 2 Meeting

  32. Next Steps (2010 -11 and beyond) • Analysis of potential changes to AMAO 1 progress definitions and targets to occur during Fall 2010 • AMAO 1 analyses and draft recommendations vetted with stakeholders during 2010-11 school year • AMAO 1 policy approval in 2010-11 • Updated policy sent to USED for submission with Title III Workbook and Title III Plan • Federal Title III Audit in Spring 2011
