MCAS • MCAS is the assessment instrument used in Massachusetts to implement NCLB • The Proficient category is represented by a score of 240--------much higher than the passing score of 220
NCLB • A new standard: Proficient [240 & above] • A new measure: Proficiency Index

AYP Determination Factors A. Participation Rate B. Performance Relative to State Targets C. Improvement during Cycle D. Additional Indicator Cycle III Targets 95% or greater ELA 75.6 Math 60.8 100 – baseline 6 Rate of attendance 92% or improvement of 1% Grade 12 competency determination rate of 70%
AYP Determination Factors A. Participation Rate B. Performance Relative to State Targets C. Improvement during Cycle D. Additional Indicator Cycle III Targets 95% or greater ELA 75.6 Math 60.8 100 – 52 = 8 points 6 Rate of attendance 92% or improvement of 1% Grade 12 competency determination rate of 70%
AYP Flow Chart A. Participation 95 % Yes No State Level [ELA 75.6] [Math 60.8] B. Performance Yes No C. Improvement Your target 8 points Yes No D. Additional Indicator Attendance or CD rate Yes No Did Not Make AYP Made AYP
AYP Flow Chart A. Participation Yes on A + B = AYP or Yes on A + C + D Yes No B. Performance Yes No C. Improvement Yes No D. Additional Indicator Yes No Did Not Make AYP Made AYP
