  1. AlgebraAccountability and AccelerationStudents and SchoolsMiddle Schools May 2012

  2. Guiding Question 1:Which students are most successful on the Algebra 1 EOC test?

  3. Context • Not all eighth graders were placed into Algebra 1 • Other factors were used to place students • Multiple measures used in making scheduling decisions • Student Characteristics • Testing history • Prior academic performance • Teacher observations

  4. FY11 EOC Passing Rates by Grade 7 Algebra Course and Prior FCAT 2.0 Math Level

  5. FY11 EOC Passing Rates by Grade 8 Algebra Course and Prior FCAT 2.0 Math Level (Empty cells indicate less than 30 students)

  6. Let’s Investigate Level 3 Students in Mathematics

  7. FCAT 2.0 MathematicsMiddle School Developmental Scale

  8. Subdivide Level 3 Grade 7 DSS Level 5 Level 5 247 234 Level 4 Level 4 Level 3 Level 3 Level 3 Level 2 Level 2 Level 1 Level 1

  9. EOC Success Rates by Grade 8 Algebra Course and Previous FCAT 2.0 Math Level Grade 7 DSS 234 247 (Empty cells indicate less than 30 students)

  10. Guiding Question 2:How does enrollment in a High School Algebra Course in Middle School impact Middle School Acceleration Points?

  11. Accountability and AccelerationMiddle Schools • FY12- Participation only helps • FY13- Participation counts

  12. Acceleration Component for Middle School Grades Formula for participation (EOC test takers*) ___________________________________ (EOC test takers* + grade 8 others**) * at all grades and levels ** grade 8 students who were Level 3+ in grade 7, and not currently in Algebra, and who did not pass the EOC in grade 6 or 7

  13. +

  14. Acceleration Component for Middle School Grades Formula for performance (EOC test passers*) ________________________ (EOC test takers*) * at all grades and levels

  15. Acceleration Component for Middle School Grades Final Formula for Acceleration Total Points = Participation + Performance 50 pts 50 pts

  16. Two Simulations Using FY12 rules and FY11 Results • Prior FCAT 2.0 Math Levels 1-5 • Prior FCAT 2.0 Math Levels 4 & 5

  17. Impact of Proposed Rules on Middle School Grades Using FY2011 EOC Data

  18. Next Steps • Review Algebra 1 Scheduling Practices • EDW report: • Algebra 1 EOC - New Levels 4 Ways • This report lists the percent of students in levels 1 - 5 for the FY2011 Algebra 1 EOC and FY2012 Fall and Winter Diagnostic Algebra 1 EOC.

  19. FY2008-FY2012 Algebra 1 EnrollmentGrade 8

  20. Algebra 1 EOC - New Levels 4 Ways

  21. Algebra 1 EOC - New Levels 4 Ways Lvl 1 Lvl 3 Lvl 2 Lvl 4 Lvl 3+ Lvl 5

  22. Considerations for FY13 • Continue to use multiple measures when making scheduling decisions • Student Characteristics • Testing history • EDW Reports • FCAT FY11 Results SSS-NGSSS Scores - RTSFA0525 • Potential Algebra 1 Students – RISYM0540 • Prior academic performance • Teacher observations
