  47. Immediate Improvement Items From FFC Dr. Lou Fabrizio 4. Move to a five-year graduation rate for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) purposes. Status: The USED did not grant permission to DPI for a five-year cohort graduation rate.This does not preclude 5-year rate for ABCs purposes. 5. Count retest scores in performance composites Status: The USED has advised DPI that retest scores can be used at all grade levels and for all EOCs IF the SBE mandates that retesting be required for all grades and EOC courses and not remain as a local option. SEM may not be used for AYP calculation but may be used for SAS. Presented Oct 2008 – plans subject to adjustments.

  48. Immediate Improvement Items From FFC 6. Eliminate the redundancy in end-of-course (EOC) and end-of-grade (EOG) testing by allowing EOC scores to count as EOG scores in middle grades. Status: The USED has advised us that the same score for a student cannot be used in two grades. The USED did indicate that they are having further discussions about whether certain other courses could be substituted. Presented Oct 2008 – plans subject to adjustments.

  49. Immediate Improvement Items From FFC 9. Revamp the current computer skills test to ensure it measures 21st century Information Communication Technology (ICT) literacy. Status: To ensure the test measures 21st Century Information Communication Technology (ICT) literacy, the SBE will need to adopt new content standards. Presented Oct 2008 – plans subject to adjustments.
