New Accountability Model Indicators • Status Indicators • How well are students doing this year? • Let’s parents know the overall performance of school • Progress Indicators • How much progress are cohorts making from one year to the next on the performance indicators? • How schools are doing against targets • Growth Indicators • Given where students start, how much was the school able to help them grow? • Not applied to cohort measures like graduation rate
Status Indicators Elementary & Middle School High School
Progress Indicators Elementary & Middle School High School
Growth Indicators Growth: Given where students start, how much was the school able to help them grow? We measure school growth with the EVAAS School Value-Added system using the new end-of-course (EOC) and end-of-grade (EOG) assessments. Schools will be compared to the average performance of all schools in the current year. The growth comparison will not be the current year to the previous year, thus the increased rigor will not impact the growth results in the first year of implementation.
