  1. Estimating the 2%

  2. What is the CRCT-M? • The CRCT-M is a grade-level alternate assessment designed for eligible students with IEPs. • Grades 3 – 8 • Reading • English/Language Arts • Mathematics • Students must take the CRCT for any subject in which the student does not take the CRCT-M. • All students must take the Science and Social Studies CRCT.

  3. Estimating the 2% • The 2% cap pertains to the number/percent of proficient students who can be included in accountability calculations per Federal Regulations. • Calculation is made at the district level and not at the school level. • Districts need to be strategic and thoughtful as they coordinate and monitor across schools.

  4. Estimating the 2% • Similar to the 1%, districts may assess more than 2% but only 2% may be included as proficient in accountability calculations. • Districts must be careful: if more than 2% are assessed, the overage must be included as not-proficient in accountability calculations.

  5. Estimating the 2% • The 2% calculation is based on the number of enrolled students in accountability grades at the time of testing. • Eligibility guidelines must be followed – only eligible students may participate in the CRCT-M (or the GAA).

  6. Relation to the 1% • A district may exceed the 2% only to the extent the district is under the 1%. • If a district assesses .8% on the GAA, the district may have 2.2% proficient on the CRCT-M. • A district may exceed 3% only if a waiver has been granted to exceed the 1%. • If a district has received a waiver to allow for 1.15% on the GAA, the district may have a total of 3.15% included in accountability calculations. • Districts must continue to apply for 1% waivers. • There is no waiver for 2%.

  7. Example: Enrollment in accountability Grades = 1000 • About 11% SWD in state population • A system that is similar to the state might have about 110 SWD. • Ideally a school or system should only test up to allowable percents for SWD. • 1% on GAA = 10 SWD • 2% on CRCT-M = 20 SWD • The remaining 8% would take CRCT = 80 SWD In this example it is assumed that the participation guidelines are followed and only eligible students are assessed with the GAA and CRCT-M.

  8. IMPORTANT! • There is no waiver for the 2% per Federal Regulations. • If the number of students who achieve a proficient score on the CRCT-M in a district exceeds 2%, the overage will be included as non-proficient in accountability calculations. • With the implementation of the CRCT-M, the interim flexibility for the SWD subgroup is no longer available.
