Colorado Growth Model Jed Bowman, Ph.D. March 3, 2009
Agenda • Colorado Growth Model (CGM) • DCSD Results • CCHE Remediation Report
CGM—Background • HB 07-1048:Longitudinal Analysis of Student Assessments (Feb. 2007) • Continued work started in 2004 (HB 04-1433) • Technical Advisory Panel developed the growth model • State Board adopted growth model March 6, 2008 • School awards based on the growth model
CGM—Student Level Academic Peers A child’s progress is being compared with students who had similar academic results on state tests in previous years.
CGM—Student Level Growth Percentile: A child’s growth is measured by how fast they progressed compared with their academic peers. If a student has a growth percentile of 55, they made better progress than 55 percent of their academic peers.
CGM—Student Level Growth Percentiles are a measure of growth…… NOT a measure of achievement
CGM—Student Level Typical growth is represented by the percentile range Typical = 35th to 65th percentile High = above 65th Low = below 35th percentile
CGM—Student Level Adequate growth is the growth necessary to achieve proficiency within three years or by the 10th grade.
CGM VS DCSD Model • DCSD Growth Model • Uses CSAP Scale Score • Criterion Referenced • Static Measure • Colorado Growth Model • Norm Referenced • Performance of Academic Peers • Dynamic Measure
CGM—School Level Median student growth percentile is the growth measure for schools.
CGM—Why the Median? 18 15 8 8 7 7 6 7 5 Mean = 9 Median = 7
CGM—School/District Level District/School Ranking Academic Achievement AND Growth
