Scatter Plots PowerPoint • This PowerPoint is divided into 2 sections • Grades 4-8, Reading and Math • Grade 11, Reading and Math • The reason for these 2 different sections is that a different methodology is used for grade 11 than is used in grades 4-8, Reading and Math. • The PSSA is not administered in grades 9 and 10. • Hence there is not consecutive grades of testing as there are in grades 4-8, Reading and Math.

Focus of Scatter Plots • This presentation provides a comparison among the scatter plots in Grades 4-8, and 11 Math and Reading for: • All 4-8, and 11thgrades in the state • All 4-8, and 11th grades in the IU • all 4-8, and 11th grades in the selected district

SY09-10 Scatter PlotsGrades 4-8, Reading and Math The PSSA-PVAAS Scatter Plots visually display the following data from the statewide distribution of PSSA results for SY09-10: • From PSSA, the percent of students in each grade who scored proficient or advanced on the last PSSA exam. The horizontal line is the Annual Measurable Objective (AMO) target percent – the % needed to meet AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) for SY09-10. • From PVAAS, the growth value of the cohort of students in each grade – A value of 0 indicates that the cohort has experienced a year’s growth. Any value to the right of the 0 line indicates that there has been more than a year’s worth of growth. Any value to the left of the 0 line indicates that there has been less than a year’s worth of growth. • Each dot represents a school which has been placed on the graph based on % proficient/advanced and growth/gain from PVAAS. • The following two slides explain the meaning of each of the quadrants in each scatter plot.

2009 11th Grade Scatterplots The PSSA-PVAAS Scatter Plots visually display the following data from the statewide distribution of PSSA results for 2009-10: • Achievement • The mean predicted performance of the cohort. • The actual mean performance of all students in the state is displayed for reference • Growth • School Effect ≈ Observed Mean – Predicted Mean • Standardized School Effect = School Effect relative to its error – displays degree of confidence The following two slides explain the meaning of each of the regions of an 11th grade scatter plot.
