    22. 5/28/2012 22 Presenter’s speaking notes: “Core subjects” are those assessed by the state: Math, Reading, History/Government, Science and Writing and also those designated as “core subjects” by the United States Department of Education (USDOE). USDOE/NCLB core academic subjects are: Arts, Civics and government, Economics, English, Foreign languages, Geography, History, Mathematics, Reading or language arts, and Science. Waivers don’t count as fully licensed – but provisional licenses do. Highly qualified does not apply to Quality Performance Accreditation. This applies to the federal NCLB Act. If the district provides the service, the person must be fully licensed.Presenter’s speaking notes: “Core subjects” are those assessed by the state: Math, Reading, History/Government, Science and Writing and also those designated as “core subjects” by the United States Department of Education (USDOE).

    41. Options for Schools Schools Accredited on Improvement or Conditionally Accredited can move up one level by: Meeting the performance and quality criteria for accredited status for two consecutive years. Use the Expected Gains Formula 5/28/2012 41

    42. Expected Gains Formula The expected gains formula recognizes schools for making progress toward meeting the performance targets

    43. The Formula The number of students scoring below “meet standard” multiplied by the average percentage of gain demonstrated across the state or 2% (whichever is the greater of the two) plus the number of students meeting or exceeding standard.

    44. Example

    45. Benefits of Expected Gain The expected gain formula recognizes schools for making progress toward meeting the performance targets Example: A school moving from 35% to 51% of students meeting or exceeding standard on the reading assessment which has a 2008 target of 75.6% (K-8).

    46. Pilot Program 2007-2008 91 schools accredited on improvement Included 33 schools that could have moved to conditionally accredited at the end of 2007-2008 assessment cycle 67 (of the 91) chose to participate in the pilot program Of the 33 that could have moved to conditionally accredited, 21 are anticipated to meet the performance targets. The remaining 12 will continue to use the expected gains and will remain on accredited on improvement.

    47. Expected Gains Information Utilization of the expected gains formula is optional School is eligible if: Did not meet QPA performance target(s) for one year, is accredited on improvement, is conditionally accredited or not accredited Submits integrated improvement plan which outlines the school’s commitment to redesign their delivery system to increase the likelihood of improved student achievement Participates in a KSDE sponsored technical assistance peer review of the plan As the AYP targets continue to climb toward 100% by 2014, more and more schools will have the opportunity to participate in the expected gains component of QPA
