12. New Accountability Metrics A – FTransparency&Student Success

13. Goals of Updating Accountability • Ensure EVERY student counts • Generate dramatic closure of the achievement gap • Provide transparent results • Merge state and federal accountability • Utilize new tools to provide a more robust system • Engender post-secondary success for ALL students • These goals address the limitations of the old model

14. A-F The G.P.A. structure is aligned with: - - 90 25 90

15. Two New Models • Elementary & Middle Schools • Performance & Growth • High Schools • Performance & Improvement

16. Key Improvements from Old to New • Simplifies designations awarded to schools (A-F) • Incorporates Indiana Growth Model • Focuses on ALL students, not just the “bubble kids” • Adds a Bottom 25% subgroup • Focuses on closing achievement gaps • Includes College & Career Readiness

17. High School Model Calculating Grades • Weighted grades (points) are determined for: • English 10 ECA Score x 30% • Algebra I ECA Score x 30% • Graduation Rate Score x 30% • College and Career Readiness Score x 10% • A final grade is determined by adding the four grades (points) together

18. High School Model • College & Career Readiness (25) Calculate the percentage of cohort graduates who: • Pass an AP exam • Pass an IB exam • Earn College Credits (3): Liberal Arts or CTE • Pass an Industry Certification exam

19. High School Model • College & Career Readiness UNDUPLICATED COUNT OF: ( ) Grads who Passed an AP Exam Grads who Passed an IB Exam Grads who Received 3 College Credits Grads who Passed and Industry Certification Test + + + Total Number of Graduates

20. High School Model • College & Career Readiness 25.0 - 100% = 4.00 points 18.4 - 24.9% = 3.00 points 11.7 - 18.3% = 2.00 points 05.0 - 11.6% = 1.00 points 00.0 - 04.9% = 0.00 points

21. What’s My Grade? IDOE developed a workbook with all of the proficiency measures and bonuses already incorporated which allows schools to simply input their achievement data and have their grade automatically calculated. Found here: http://www.doe.in.gov/improvement/accountability/f-accountability

22. What does the Report Card look like? IDOE worked with stakeholders to build sample report cards for both the Elementary/Middle and High School models. They are found here: http://www.doe.in.gov/improvement/accountability/f-accountability

23. What’s Working • AP dramatic growth and success • IB dramatic growth • Dual Credit dramatic growth • Industry Certification growth • Accuracy of AP, IB and IC data • Inclusion of these CCR components into the state’s new Accountability model

24. Challenges • Dual Credit data submissions • Articulating the Priority Dual Credit courses and the implementation thereof • Researching CCR student-level success in Indiana higher education institutions

25. Solutions • Immediate: data verification from the Commission for Higher Education • Long term: data submission from the Commission for Higher Education • Improved data system that facilitates improved research capabilities between agencies
