State Accountability System and New School Report Cards

1. State Accountability System and New School Report Cards

2. Goals and Introductions • Take a few minutes and… • Introduce yourselves at your tables • Discuss where you’re at with the Report Cards and the new accountability system • Discuss your goals for the day • One person from each group to share thoughts/goals

3. Goals • Become more familiar and comfortable with the School Report Card • Be able to basically compute (or describe) the components of the School Accountability Score • Develop or access resources for communicating these changes • Develop a communication plan • Other?

4. Agenda • Review changes in accountability system • NAEP cut-scores • AMOs • Report Card overview • Report Card “Priority Area” calculations • Overall accountability index • Available resources • Communication • Lunch • Networking – calculation, communication, clarification

5. Wi ESEA Waiver & Agenda 2017 • Standards and Instruction • Common Core State Standards in ELA and math • RtI and PALS • Digital learning and dual enrollment • Assessment and Data Systems • SMARTER Balanced Assessments – NAEP proficiency • ACT suite • Statewide information and data system • School and Educator Effectiveness • New accountability system w/ new School Report Cards • Educator evaluation system

6. Changing Accountability System • Multiple Measures • Single year to three year average • “NAEPized” cut scores • Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs)

7. NAEPized Cut Scores New Old

8. NAEPized Cut Scores • On average, WI students are above the national, but there are still major gaps

9. NAEPized Cut Scores • On average, WI students are above the national, but there are still major gaps

10. NAEPized Cut Scores • DPI resources: • http://dpi.wi.gov/oea/pdf/impactdata.pdf - explanation of the new cut scores • http://dpi.wi.gov/oea/pdf/highexp.pdf - one page overview of increased expectations • http://dpi.wi.gov/sprntdnt/doc/ltr-repcard.doc - DPI sample letter to parents noting increased expectations and changing cut-scores • Time to discuss strategies to build understanding (~10 min)

11. Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) • No more AYP targets – now considering AMOs Refer to: http://dpi.wi.gov/oea/amo.html

12. Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) • No more AYP targets – now considering AMOs Refer to: http://dpi.wi.gov/oea/amo.html

13. Annual Measurable Objectives • AMOs for graduation rates – goal of 85%

14. Annual Measurable Objectives • Title I Priority and Focus Schools – exit criteria • Title I Priority – lowest achievement, required reforms • Title I Focus – low subgroups, reform choices • http://dpi.wi.gov/sprntdnt/pdf/fs-t1_p_f.pdf • District AMOs • District Report Cards next year – average index for each level (ES, MS, HS) • At least one level (ES, MS, HS) “meets expectations” • No schools in “fails to meet expectations”

22. Quick Break + Discussion • With your group discuss your questions about the Report Cards. • Look over the sample technical Report Card you picked up (Elementary level).

23. Four Priority Areas • Student Achievement • Student Growth • Closing Gaps • On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness

24. Student Achievement • Multiplier for performance levels • Divided by the average attendance • More recent weighted more • Scale of 50 • See Report Card Data p. 2

25. Student Achievement - Worksheet Go to the worksheets for the Priority Areas – we’ll work through some sample data together

26. Student Growth Percentile (SGP)

27. Student Growth • Points for meeting growth trajectory • Points off for meeting declining trajectory • Complex calculations (“black box”) • Scale of 50 • See the Report Card Data p. 4

28. Student Growth - Worksheet Go to the worksheets for the Priority Areas – we’ll work through some sample data together

29. Closing Gaps • Find the average change in subgroups’ scores • Penalty if comparison group declines • Scale of 50 • See the Report Card Data p. 6

30. Closing Gaps - Worksheet Go to the worksheets for the Priority Areas – we’ll work through some sample data together

31. Closing Gaps – Graduation (HS) • Same procedure – using graduation rates • Worth 50 points, achievement worth 25 each

32. On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness • Combine: • Graduation or attendance rate • 3rdgrade reading/8th grade math • ACT participation/performance (HS) • See the Report Card Data p. 8

33. On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness - Worksheet Go to the worksheets for the Priority Areas – we’ll work through some sample data together

34. Elementary and Middle School Report Card The four priority areas average to accountability determination as follows: • Student Achievement- 25% • Student Growth- 25% • Closing Gaps- 25% • On track indicators: • Elementary • 20% attendance • 5% 3rd grade WKCE Reading Scores • Middle • 20% attendance • 5% 8th grade WKCE Mathematics Scores

35. The High School Report Card Has only three priority areas to average to accountability determination: • Student Achievement: 37.5% • Student Growth 0% • Closing Gaps: 37.5% • On Track/ Post Secondary Readiness: 25% • 20% is the graduation rate • 5% ACT Participation and Performance

36. Student engagement Indicators (p. 10) • Test Participation – 95% or higher • Absenteeism – no more than 13% • Dropouts – no more than 6 % - 5 points each

37. Outcomes • Schools provided with information on strengths and weaknesses • Targeted support from DPI and partners to improve school performance • Rewards and recognition for high performing schools

38. Available Resources • eModule: http://dpi.wi.gov/oea/wiguiderpt/story.html • Review handout of available resources http://www.cesa2.k12.wi.us/programs/accountability/accountability.cfm • Group discussion: which resources will we be using?

39. Data Access and Information • District Security Administrator • Application Security Administrator • Web Access Management System • Data Analysis and Report Tools • WISEdash now available

40. Building Shared Understanding Two parts (handout) – Group discussion: • Roll out to various stakeholders • Who, how/structure, resources available? • Elevator talk – consistent message for • What goes into the accountability score? • What are these new NAEP cut-offs? • What does this WSAS data graph mean? • What happened to AYP? What are AMOs? • Share out by group

41. Goals • Become more familiar and comfortable with the School Report Card • Be able to basically compute (or describe) the components of the School Accountability Score • Develop or access resources for communicating these changes • Develop a communication plan • Other group goals

42. Let Us Know How We Can Help • Please, complete the evaluation now or at the end of the day. • Oct 3rd – “We have the Report Card, now what?” • Questions? • Kevin Anderson – kevin.anderson@cesa2.org • Nicole Barlass – nicole.barlass@cesa2.org • In the afternoon, we’ll focus on four things: • Networking • Developing a communication plan • Going through the technical data calculations as desired • Answering individual questions and providing individual support
