AYP to AMO – 2012 ESEA UpdateJanuary 20, 2013 Ben Gauyan Director of Title 1/LAP BGAUYAN@tacoma.k12.wa.us (253) 571-1049 Pat Cummings Director of Research and Evaluation PCUMMIN@tacoma.k12.wa.us (253) 571-1280 Thank you to Nancy Katims- Edmonds School District for much of the content of this presentation
Background • The federal government granted Washington State a flexibility waiver from the original ESEA No Child Left Behind (NCLB) requirements, including the calculation of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). • The changes in the accountability system take effect starting this school year.
Background -- To get waiver, states must address three priorities Priority 1: Ensure college- and career-ready expectations for all students Washington state is addressing this priority by adopting: • Common Core State Standards [CCSS] • Smarter Balanced Assessment [SBA]
…three priorities continued Priority 2: Support effective instruction and leadership Washington state is addressing this priority by implementing the: • Teacher and Principal Evaluation Project [TPEP]
…three priorities continued Priority 3: Implement state-developed system of differentiated recognition, accountability, and support Washington state is addressing this priority by adopting a new accountability system.
What has not changed • Goals are still determined for: • Performance on state assessments • Participationin state assessments • Unexcused absence rate for elementary and middle schools • Graduation rates for high schools -- for all sub-groups (ethnicity groups, English language learners, special education, poverty) • Performance is still determined by scores for continuously enrolled students.
What has changed • Add two more ethnic groups to sub-groups: • Asian/Pacific Islander subgroup split into two subgroups • “Two or More Races” subgroup added • Annual Measureable Objectives (AMOs) replace AYP goals: • By Spring 2017 reduce by half the proficiency gap between each group’s 2011 level and 100% proficiency • Add equal increments (1/6 of overall target) to create annual targets between 2011 and 2017 • Result in unique annual targets for each subgroup, school, district, and state. • Do not include a margin of error
Example:Sample High School - 10th Grade Reading 20% metstandard in 2011 80% did not meet standard The goal is to decrease the percent not meeting standard by half in six year (40%)
Example:Sample High School - 10th Grade Reading 4. Therefore the goal in 2017 is 60% meeting standard (20% baseline + 40% growth = 60%)
What has changed • Elimination of: • Sanctions on Title I schools • Classification of schools in “School Improvement Status” • Public listing of schools that did not make AYP • New classification of Title I schools: • Priority • Focus • Emerging • Reward
Priority, Focus, and Emerging Schools Priority: Based on “All Students” Performance Focus: Based on “Subgroup” Performance Emerging: Next 5% of Priority and 10% of Focus Total N = 138 Next 10% (N=92) Next 5% (N=46) Lowest 10% (N = 92) Lowest 5% (N=46)
REWARD SCHOOLS – Cohort 1 * School cannot have significant gaps among subgroups and cannot be a Focus or Emerging School.
Other Details • Cohort 1 schools are based on 2009-2011 data and will remain in these categories for the 2012-13 school year. • Spring 2012 assessment results will determined Cohort 2 schools in these categories and will be used for 2013-14. • Cohort 1 schools were determined using “N-size” of 30 as minimum number of students for a cell to be counted. Beginning with 2012 data, the “N-size” will change from 30 to 20.
Other Details • AMO calculations will be on State Report Card website for all schools. • State Achievement Index data will be published in late December/early January for all schools similar to the last two years.

2012–13 Waiver Tasks for State • The State Board of Education (SBE) and OSPI are required to submit a revised accountability system request, which is likely to include growth data. • Legislature must pass a law to require focused teacher evaluations to use student growth as a significant factor. • State must establish rules regarding use of student growth as a significant factor in teacher and principal evaluation and support systems.
