NCLB - What’s New in 2007-2008? • New Data Displays • STARS data (all students with any assessment results) • Disaggregated by the NCLB subgroups • Each grade (3-8 and 11) for Reading and Math; each grade span for Science • Percent Proficient by performance level • Percent not-assessed • Compare school to district to state • Four levels of proficiency
Data Conference Opportunity • April 28th, 2008 - Kearney • Partnership with ESU, NSEA, NCSA, NASB, NDE • Districts will have to insure that they have policies and procedures in place to assure data quality in 2008-09 • Will be included in the Consolidated Program Review • Goal is to train a data coordinator in each agency
Nebraska-led Peer Review of STARS • Schedules, Process, Reviewers • Technical Clarifications • Opportunity to Learn • 2006-07 Schedule • “On-going” • Math Standards • Reliability – Criterion #5 • Decision Consistency (independent judgment) • Mastery Levels – Criterion #6 • Sufficiency or Mastery Levels • Angoff – Round 1 and Round 2
Nebraska-led Peer Review of STARS • Reporting Results from Multiple Assessments • Districts/consortiums need a plan with consistently applied business rules • Form A or B? (both are technically sound) • Weighted? • Combined? • All students in district or consortium have fair, equitable reporting – using same plan • Cannot “pick” certain assessments for some and different results for others • Adaptive test results cannot be used for standards (Tests that adjust to grade level performance of student) • Brush Up Sessions - PM

Nebraska Student and Staff Record System • Two Assessment Reports (Template Names) • Student Indicators (Assessment Fact) • One record per student for each subject/grade • Provided by all districts for each student in grades 3-8 and one grade at high school • Student Performance (Assessment Response) • One record per student for each standard • Provided by all districts for each student on each standard or grade level expectation (grades 3-8 and one grade at high school)
