  1. ABCs/AYP - 2007Background Briefing August 23, 2007 Lou Fabrizio, Ph.D. Director of Accountability Services NC Department of Public Instruction

  2. ABCs Standards • Growth • Performance • at the school level • • AYP (adequate yearly progress) 2

  3. ABCs in the 21st Century • Comprehensive review of ABCs during 2004-05 • New growth formulas developed as a result • 2005-06 – Major transitions and major interactions with US Department of Education (USED)

  4. ABCs - 2007Key Points • 2nd year of new growth formulas • Continued focus on student achievement, school-level performance • Comparisons across years not always “apples to apples”

  5. NC Testing Program • Foundation for all test-related components used in accountability program • Based on NC Standard Course of Study • End-of-Grade (Grades 3-8) • End-of-Course (High Schools and some Middle Schools) • Writing Assessments • Alternate Assessments and Other Tests 5

  6. New in 2006-07 • New EOC math (Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry) and English I assessments with higher standards • Third grade mathematics back in growth • New Alternate Assessment for students with significant cognitive disabilities (NCEXTEND1)

  7. ABCs in 2006-07 (Growth) • EOG growth in Grades 3-8 • EOC growth • College University Prep/College Tech Prep (CUP/CTP) • Competency Test Passing Rate • ABCs Dropout Rate

  8. Additional High School Components of Growth • College University Prep/College Tech Prep completion rate, and the ABCs dropout rate (Not measured on matched set of students; compares this year’s class to previous classes) • Competency Passing Rate is measured on matched set of students; 8th grade and 10th grade

  9. 2nd Year ofNew Growth Formulas • Use two years of prior performance to predict current year’s performance • Includes adjustment for regression to the mean • Are designed to be more resilient and reliable as curricula change • Reading and mathematics growth calculated independently

  10. Terms to Know • Academic change • C-ratio [# met growth divided by # not met growth] • AYP growth vs. ABCs growth – they are different

  11. New Formula • AC = CSc-scale – (0.92 x ATPAc-scale) • Where • • AC = academic change • • CS = current score • • ATPA = average of two previous assessment scores

  12. C-Scale (Change scale) • Subtract state mean (standard setting year) from student’s score • Divide by standard deviation (from standard setting year) • Scale runs for -4 to +4

  13. A Single Student Actual Expected Difference 1.382 1.067 +0.315 • Met the individual growth standard • Use with caution – Precision is +/- 0.5

  14. How To Interpret • Student had 0.315 change (growth) • For growth purposes when included with the rest of the school, counts as met • For individual interpretations, not out of the range of typical

  15. School Level – Expected Growth • Average all students’ Academic Change scores together • Also, changes in • Dropout rates • CUP/CTP and • Competency pass rate • Note: Model is compensatory.

  16. School Level – High Growth • Must make expected growth • Must also have C-ratio at or above 1.50 to make high growth

  17. Performance Composite 2006-07 Percent of Students’ Scores At or Above Achievement Level III in: • EOG Reading and Math (Grades 3-8) • 7 EOC tests (Chemistry, Physical Science and Physics were statewide field tests and therefore not included) • Writing Grades 4, 7 & 10 • Alternate Assessments (NCCLAS, NCEXTEND1, NCEXTEND2) • Computer Skills at grade 8

  18. Calculation of Performance Composite (Example Without Writing, Computer Skills or EXTEND2) Read Math NCCLAS EX1 Total #  III656812 Total # 72 75 4 3 136  154 %: 90.3 90.7 25.0 66.7 88.3 Note: Add all “numerators” and “denominators” to yield total.

  19. Incentive Awards/ Consequences • Schools Designations • Incentive Awards • Assistance 19

  20. School Status Labels and Recognitions 20

  21. NCLB Component • Demonstrating Proficiency • All Schools Required to Have 100% Proficiency by 2013-14 School Year • Schools Must Make AYP “Adequate Yearly Progress”

  22. NCLB Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) • State Determines Baseline • Subgroups Include: American Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic, Multi-Racial, White, School as a Whole, Limited English Proficient, Economically Disadvantaged, and Students With Disabilities • 95% of Each Subgroup Must Be Tested • More Flexibility Granted (Safe Harbor, Confidence Interval, AYP Growth)

  23. AYP – 2007Key Points • Full Academic Year (FAY) = 140 Days at the Time for Testing Students on EOG/EOC Tests (School & District) • Minimum Number of Scores for AYP Group = 40 (School); 40 or 1% (whichever is greater, District) • 4-Year Cohort Graduation Rate part of AYP • All or Nothing Model

  24. Think of 41 Hurdles in a Race.(Most Schools Will Have Less, Some May Have More.) • 10 Hurdles (Groups) for Reading Achievement • 10 Hurdles (Groups) for Reading (95% Tested Rule) • 10 Hurdles (Groups) for Mathematics Achievement • 10 Hurdles (Groups) for Mathematics (95% Tested Rule) • 1 Hurdle for Other Academic Indicator (Attendance or Graduation Rate) for School as a Whole

  25. AYP Proficiency Goals

  26. AYP Growth Model • Results (% students making growth) by subgroup reported • Include proficient students using ABCs growth formula • Include non-proficient students using AYP Growth

  27. Steps for Title I Schools

  28. Steps for Title I Schools

  29. Cohort* Graduation Rate • Four-Year Cohort Graduation Rate (now part of AYP in 2006-07) *Follows the same students from grade 9 to12

  30. Quality Control(Local, Regional, State) • Schools (Principals, Teachers, School Testing Coordinators) • LEA Testing/Accountability Coordinator/Director • Regional Accountability Coordinators (RACs) & Regional Computing Consultants (RCCs) • NCDPI Division of Accountability Services

  31. ABCs/AYP Results for 2006-07 • ABCs Report – September 6 http://abcs.ncpublicschools.org
