18. Accountability Scorecards An Early Orientation to the Future of Michigan School Accountability Handout TAB 3

19. Overview • Two “levels” of Accountability Scorecards: DistrictScorecards & SchoolScorecards • Scorecards will use a color coding system (green, lime, yellow, orange, and red) to indicate school performance. • Combines traditional accountability metrics with Top-to-Bottom labels and other state/federal requirements. • Overall color is determined by Top to Bottom status as well as points earned by meeting traditional AYP requirements. • Individual “cells” use red/yellow/green coding scheme • Points-based system where full points earnedfor meeting a target, half points earned for meeting safe harbor

20. An Early Look at Scorecards Handout TAB 3

21. Color-Coded Scorecards • Colors are given to schools and districts for each “scorecard component” and an overall color. • Overall status color is determined using a point-based system from the number of target areas the school/district has met and the school ranking. Decreasing # points received and increasing # targets not met… *These may not be the exact shades utilized in the final scorecard product (still under development).

22. What Changed? • Additional subgroup: Bottom 30% • Attendance target of 90% -(only for school, no subgroups) • Differentiated proficiency targets • Based on a school’s past performance • Goal of 85% proficient at end of 2021-22 • Targets increase in 10 equal increments • Safe Harbor based on 80th percentile of statewide proficiency • Use school/district improvement slope to determine met/not met • Inclusion of Educator Effectiveness label reporting and TSDL completion in Scorecards • Inclusion of Compliance Factors (SIP & SPR)

23. What Stayed the Same? • Participation requirement = 95% for school/district overall and all valid subgroups • Multi-year averaging remains in place (up to three years) • Graduation requirement = 80% for school/district overall and all valid subgroups • Four, five, and six-year rates • Graduation “safe harbor” • Use of provisional and growth scores for accountable proficiency rates

24. School and District Scorecard Subgroups Previously ONE group! • All Students • Bottom 30% (for proficiency calculations only) NEW! • American Indian or Alaska Native • Black or African American • AsianNEW! • Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander NEW! • White • Two or more races • Hispanic of any races • Economically Disadvantaged • English Language Learners • Students with Disabilities • Shared Education Entity (SEE) (district-level only)

25. Participation • 95% of students are still required to be tested to meet the assessment participation target for the scorecard. • If student group size is 30-39, target is no more than two non-participants (this makes it so that a single student cannot result in not meeting the target participation rate). • If student group size is 40 or more, target is 95% participation • Participation rate is rounded to nearest hundredth • If the “All Students” group does not have at least 30 students in one test cycle, a participation average will be calculated using up to three years of data in order to accumulate at least 30 students • Multi-year averaging used help meet the participation req.

26. Participation Target • Two options for school/district color status for this target area. 95% Assessed Met 95% Assessed Not Met • These colors are given ONLY on the participation target portion of the scorecard. This does not change your entire school/district status, however, it can impact your overall color.

27. Proficiency Targets Targets are based on 2011-12 proficiency rates: • (85 – current percent proficient) / 10 = annual increment • Increments do not reset • Proficiency targets are set using PLs 1 & 2 only (not Provisional or Growth Proficient) • Provisional and/or Growth Proficient willhelp you meet targets

28. Example Proficiency Targets School has 65% proficiency in 2011-12 school year. School must be 85% proficient by 2021-22 school year. Subtract baseline target from end target rate and divide by the number of school years in between. (85 – 65)/10 = +2% annual increment of target The school’s target would be 67% in 2012-13, 69% in 2013-14, 71% in 2014-15, and so on.

29. Proficiency Targets Example Handout Example school ends at (at least) 85% proficient in subject Example school starts from 65% proficient in subject Example School has +2% Annual Target TAB 3

30. Graduation Rates 3 Possible colors to receive for this target area: • If a school/subgroup has a graduation rate of at least 80%, it will receive a green cell (2 points). • If it makes the graduation rate improvement target, it will receive a yellowcell (1 point). • If it misses both the rate and the improvement target, they will receive a red cell (0 points). Audit: * A school/district’s overall status color is automatically yellow if it has a redfor the “All Students” group for this target.

31. Compliance Factors (PARTIALLY NEW!) • Compliance Factors are based on State law. All schools are required by State law to have a School Improvement Plan (SIP), and to complete School Performance Indicator (SPR) reports. • If a school completes all of its required reports it will receive a green cell for the Compliance Factors. If a school does not complete its required reports, it will receive a red cell for Compliance Factors. • 2 Possible colors to receive for this target: • Those with completed reports receive a green cell. • Those with incomplete reports receive a redcell.
