  1. A New Accountability Model March 31, 2010 GCS 2 Discussion Session 1

  2. Objectives • Come to consensus on: • The indicators to be used in the new model and a non-technical definition of how we will measure them • The assessments to be used to measure post-secondary readiness • The use of growth and absolute performance in an indexing system • The general weighting of indicators within the model

  3. Additional Discussion Topics • Revised reporting • Gateways and 25% policy • ESEA reauthorization • Timeline, formal feedback and next steps

  4. Process for Today • Brief framing followed by more lengthy discussion • We hope to…. • Make significant progress on key topics • Keep a parking lot for input and next steps

  5. Agenda • 10:00 – 12:00 • A New ABCs Model (20 min) • Discussion and Consensus-Building on Indicators (90 min) Post-Secondary Readiness Absolute Achievement and Student Growth Future-Ready Core and Graduation Rate • Indexing System and Bonus Points (10 min)

  6. A New ABCs Model

  7. What’s New and Better in the New Model? • Inclusion of Post-Secondary Readiness Measure • Robust Growth Measures • Increased Academic Course Rigor (Future-Ready Core) • Graduation Rate Replaces Dropout Rate • Incorporation of Index System • Inclusion of LEA Accountability • Revised Reporting • Revised Student Accountability System • Alignment with ESEA Reauthorization

  8. School Growth and Performance We will use an absolute performance index and a growth index. Each will have a separate formula. Absolute Performance Index Growth Index

  9. Elementary/Middle School Indicators Absolute Performance Index Student Achievement End-of-Grade and (where appropriate) End-of-Course assessments built on new standards Current includes:3 – 8 Reading, 3 – 8 Math, 5 & 8 Science

  10. Elementary/Middle School Indicators Growth Index Student growth as measured by value-added systemusing EOGs and (where applicable) EOCs Current includes:4 – 8 Reading, 4 – 8 Math Student Growth

  11. High School Indicators Absolute Performance Index End-of-Course Assessments (English II, Math A, Math BC, US History, Civics + Econ, Biology and Physical Science) Student Achievement National Assessment(s) (ACT, SAT, WorkKeys, Compass, Accuplacer) Post-Secondary Readiness Participation in the Future-Ready Core as evidenced by taking and scoring proficient in Algebra II (Math BC) Academic Course Rigor 5-Year Cohort Graduation Rate Graduation Rate

  12. High School Indicators Growth Index Student Growth as measured by value-added system Student Growth Change in National Assessments (ACT, SAT, WorkKeys, Compass, Accuplacer) Post-Secondary Readiness Δ Change in Participation in the Future-Ready Core as evidenced by taking and scoring proficient in Algebra II (Math BC) Academic Course Rigor Δ Δ Change in 5-Year Cohort GraduationRate Graduation Rate

  13. Initial Superintendents’ Feedback on Elementary/Middle School Indicators • 95% of respondents agree with the components in the elementary model • Some superintendents expressed a desire for expansion of accountability into K-3 and for inclusion of science and social studies

  14. Initial Superintendents’ Feedback on High School Indicators • 91% of respondents agreed with the components in the high school model • One concern about perceived loss of career-focus • One concern about FRC and high-income bias

  15. Post-Secondary Readiness

  16. Overview of Other States Post-Secondary Readiness • 8 states currently use a nationally recognized post-secondary readiness test • 5 states currently administer the ACT to all their public high school students • 6 states measure the college and career readiness of students using a high school assessment developed in state or by the ADP Assessment Consortium

  17. Post-Secondary Readiness

  18. Post-Secondary Readiness Assessments ACTSATWorkKeysAccuplacer Compass

  19. ACTCollege Admissions Exam; Mandatory for 11th graders in five statesSATCollege Admissions Exam; Mandatory for 11th graders in one stateWorkKeysCareer Preparedness Exam; Includes three sections: 1) Applied Mathematics 2) Locating Information and 3) Reading for InformationCOMPASSComputer-Adaptive College Placement Test; COMPASS offers tests in reading, writing, math, writing essay, and English as a Second Language (ESL)AccuplacerCollege Placement Test; Includes Sentence Skills, Reading Comprehension, Arithmetic, Elementary Algebra, College-Level Math, Written Essay

  20. Governor’sReady, Set, Go!and a Continuum of Diagnostic Assessments

  21. Initial Superintendents’ Feedback Post-Secondary Readiness • 96% agreed generally with the proposed measures of post-secondary readiness • More to come after April 25th

  22. Post-Secondary Readiness Discussion

  23. Achievement and Growth

  24. Student Achievement • Maintain the Performance Composite of EOC and EOG assessments as the measure of school achievement

  25. School LEA Student Growth Educational Value-Added Longitudinal Growth • Replace current growth model with value-added system using EOCs and EOGs data to determine school growth • Systematic reporting of longitudinal growth on reading and math scales

  26. Longitudinal Growth Student Growth LEA *Text measures taken from national sources

  27. Measurement of Growth

  28. Value-Added Student Growth LEA • Allows use of more than two data points in calculating growth • Federal measures may encourage use of a similar model to determine growth of students

  29. Achievement and Growth Discussion

  30. Future-Ready Core and Graduation Rate

  31. Future-Ready Core Superintendents’ Feedback • 47% agreed with the Future-Ready Core measured by Algebra II • Some requested more than Algebra II (“should include English, Social Studies, Math, Science…”) • Some expressed concern about whether Algebra II needs to be the standard for all students

  32. Future-Ready Core Recommendation • Calculate as the % Algebra II (Math BC) completion and proficiency Recommendation Graduation Rate • 5-Year Cohort Graduation Rate

  33. Future-Ready Core and Graduation Rate Discussion

  34. Elementary/Middle School School Absolute Performance Index Growth Index

  35. High School School Absolute Performance Index Growth Index

  36. An Index Model will allow us to keep the core model simple and focus on key outcomes

  37. Bonus Points may be awarded for additional indicators like the graduation project • Simulations will be conducted to ensure the contribution of bonus points is done carefully to maintain focus on achievement and growth

  38. Agenda • 1:00 – 2:30 • Weighting of Indicators (30 min) • Updated Reporting System (10 min) • Gateways (30 min) • ESEA Reauthorization and School Classification (10 min) • Next Steps (10 min)

  39. Lunch Break

  40. Weighting of Indicators

  41. We asked the North Carolina Superintendents to fill out the two charts. Absolute Performance Index Growth Index

  42. Weighting of Indicators Superintendents’ Feedback • ¾ of the Superintendents recommended an identical weighting structure in both the Absolute Performance Index and the Growth Index • The variance was small for those Superintendents who did suggest weighting differently between performance and growth • We conclude that the Superintendents generally support using the same weighting within each index system

  43. AVERAGE ≈ 44% Most Frequently Occurring was 50% (23 out of 47)

  44. AVERAGE ≈ 17% Most Frequently Occurring was 10% (31 of 47)

  45. AVERAGE ≈ 13% Most Frequently Occurring was 10% (26 of 47)

  46. AVERAGE ≈ 26% Most Frequently Occurring was 20% and 30% (both 11 out of 47)

  47. Possible Superintendent Recommendation Weighting of Indicators • The weighting is identical in absolute performance and growth • The weighting is as below… Absolute Performance Index Growth Index

  48. Weighting of Indicators Discussion

  49. Absolute Performance Index Growth Index

  50. Updated Reporting
