  1. Student Growth Percentiles For Classroom Teachers and Contributing Professionals KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  2. Student Growth Percentiles • Available for teachers of students in grades 4-8 who take K-PREP in Reading and/or Math • Available for both classroom teachers and contributing professionals KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  3. Teacher Student Growth Percentile • Median Student Growth Percentiles are used. • Up to three years of data are combined. • A minimum number of 10 students are required to receive SGP. • Attribution is determined at the local level. • It is a lagging indicator (will not be available until the next fall). KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  4. Student Growth Percentile (SGP) Model • SGP measures change in an individual student’s performance over time. • How much did John improve in mathematics from grade 4 to grade 5 can be answered by showing: • How well John improved from grade 4 to 5 compared to his academic peers. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  5. Student Growth PercentileKey Points • Each student’s rate of change is compared to other students with a similar test score history (“academic peers”). • The rate of change is expressed as a percentile. • How much did John improve in mathematics from grade 4 to grade 5, relative to his academic peers? • If John improved more than 65 percent of his academic peers, then his student growth percentile would be 65. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  6. Student Growth PercentileKey Points • Focuses on the relative standing of a student from year to year compared to the student’s academic peers. • The academic peers are students who perform very similarly to the student on the test. The student is only compared to students who start at the same place. • In year two, the question is: Did the student outpace his peer group? KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  7. Student Growth Percentile (SGP) • Students who outpaced their peer group would be in the percentile ranks of 50 – 99. • Students who underperformed their peer group would be in the percentile ranks of 1 – 49. • In Kentucky, though, the acceptable rank for growth is the 40th percentile. • Students who score at the 40th percentile or higher are considered to have typical or higher annual growth. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  8. Student Growth Percentile (SGP)Requirements • Must have two test scores from two different years for each student. • Tests must be in same subject. • In Kentucky only Reading and Mathematics are tested each year from grades 3-8. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  9. Student Growth Percentile (SGP) • SGP is a way to measure progress for students at all performance levels. • SGP provides evidence of improvement even among those with low achievement. • SGP gives high achieving students and schools something to strive for beyond proficiency.

  15. Student Summary • Grade 4 Mathematics Score is 210. • Grade 5 Mathematics Score is 215. Mrs. Smith’s Grade 5 Student • The student outpaces 70% of the statewide Academic Peer Group. • The student’s SGP is 70. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  16. Mrs. Smith—Grade 5 Classroom SGP for Each Student Based on Grade 5 Mathematics Test SGP 70 92 85 65 57 52 51 47 46 55 53 49 SGP 23 19 40 32 21 44 43 41 42 38 26 KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  17. Theoretical Premise: When students with “like” scores are placed in an academic peer group and then compared one year later, we assume teacher and school actions happened between the two tests to cause a student to stay even with or out- perform the academic peer group. The actions may include instruction, curriculum, on-going assessments, etc. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  18. Teacher Median Student Growth Percentile Is what’s new…. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  19. Teacher Median SGP - Calculation • Teachers with Reading and/or Math course (as defined by state course codes). • Grades 4-8 only. • Students must have two consecutive years of KPREP scores to have calculated growth score to be included. • Teacher must have minimum of 10 students meeting criteria. • Student/Teacher combination must have minimum of 100 instructional days. • Available for all teachers assigned to course/section in Campus – includes contributing professionals and staff. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  20. Teacher Student Growth Percentile • Teacher Median SGP is calculated using student growth scores. • Single year and three year calculation. • Student-Teacher linkage is based on course/section roster in Infinite Campus. • It is a lagging indicator – current year calculation will not be available until the next fall. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  21. Mrs. Smith—Grade 5 Classroom SGP for Each Student Based on 2014 Grade 5 Mathematics Test SGP 70 92 85 65 57 52 51 47 46 55 53 49 Mrs. Smith’s Median Math SGP=46 SGP 23 19 40 32 21 44 43 41 42 38 26 KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  22. Mrs. Smith—Grade 5 Classroom SGP for Each Student Based on 2014 Grade 5 Reading Test SGP 70 89 81 69 68 60 59 53 52 67 63 53 Mrs. Smith’s Median Reading SGP=52 SGP 23 13 39 32 15 49 48 41 42 38 26 KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  23. Student Growth Rating • Using the distribution of median student growth percentiles, cutoffs were created to indicate three levels • Low • Expected • High KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  24. Student Growth Percentile Ratings KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  25. Rationale for Ratings • The mean Teacher SGP score was 47. • Expected Student Growth should constitute approximately 2/3 of teachers. • Cut scores for Low, Expected and High were determined using the distribution of median SGPs for teachers. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  26. Distribution of Teachers’ SGPs 18.1% of all Teachers 66.6% of all Teachers 15.3% of all Teachers Low Expected High KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  27. What was Mrs. Smith’s Reading Rating? • Mrs. Smith had a median SGP of 52; therefore, she would have a state student growth rating of Expected. • Up to 3 years of Data and Math/Reading Scores can be used. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  28. Verification of Median SGP • Participants have been provided sample reports to review. • Two reports will be available in Infinite Campus • Teacher Median SGP – Summary (pdf) • For use by administrators to see all teacher level scores • Teacher Median SGP – Detail (csv) • For validation of student-level detail included in calculation • Can be run by teacher, school or district (with tool rights) KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  29. Teacher Median SGP - takeaways • Students/Teacher links are determined by Infinite Campus course/section roster. • First year – validate data through Infinite Campus reports – determine if Infinite Campus setup needs to change going forward. • No expectation or need to change prior data in Infinite Campus. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls

  30. Teacher SGP Median - takeaways • Infinite Campus detail report can be pulled into Excel and then used to tweak calculations to relevant students for teacher. Use median calculation in Excel for revised score. • Principal enters Median SGP score in evaluation module it does not prepopulate. Use calculated or recalculated score as it makes sense for specific teacher. KDE:OAA:3/28/2014:kd:rls
