State Accountability System and New School Report Cards. Changing Accountability System. Multiple Measures Student achievement Student growth Closing achievement gaps Attendance/graduation rates ACT participation and performance Testing, absenteeism and dropout rates
E N D
Changing Accountability System • Multiple Measures • Student achievement • Student growth • Closing achievement gaps • Attendance/graduation rates • ACT participation and performance • Testing, absenteeism and dropout rates • Single year to three years • “NAEPized” cut scores • Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs)
NAEPized Cut Scores New Old
NAEPized Cut Scores • DPI resources: • http://dpi.wi.gov/oea/pdf/impactdata.pdf - explanation of the new cut scores • http://dpi.wi.gov/oea/pdf/highexp.pdf - one page overview of increased expectations • http://dpi.wi.gov/sprntdnt/doc/ltr-repcard.doc - DPI sample letter to parents noting increased expectations and changing cut-scores • Time to discuss strategies (~5 min)
Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) • No more AYP targets – now considering AMOs Refer to: http://dpi.wi.gov/oea/amo.html
Annual Measurable Objectives • AMOs for graduation rates – goal of 85% • Title I Priority and Focus Schools – exit criteria • Title I Priority – lowest achievement, required reforms • Title I Focus – low subgroups, reform choices • District AMOs • At least one level (HS, MS, ES) “meets expectations” • No schools in “fails to meet expectations” • District Report Cards next year

Quick Break + Discussion • With your group discuss your questions about the Report Cards. • Look over the sample Report Card you picked up – ES, MS or HS.
Four Priority Areas • Student Achievement • Student Growth • Closing Gaps • On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness
Student Achievement See the Technical Report Card p. 2 – handout Multiply # of students by multiplier Divide by average attendance Weight each year Scale of 50
Student Growth See the Technical Report Card p. 4 – handout Points for growth trajectory Points off for decline trajectory Complex calculations (“black box”) Scale of 50
Closing Gaps See the Technical Report Card p. 6 (or 7) Find the change in subgroups scores Divide by 50, find average change Penalty if comparison group declines Scale of 50
Closing Gaps – Graduation (HS) • Same procedure – using graduation rates • Worth 50 points, achievement worth 25 each
On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness • See the Technical Report Card p. 8 • Combine: Graduation or attendance rate • 3rd grade reading/8th grade math • ACT participation/performance
Student engagement Indicators (p. 10) • Test Participation – 95% or higher • Absenteeism – no more than 13% • Dropouts – no more than 6 % - 5 points each
Elementary and Middle School Report Card The four priority areas average to accountability determination as follows: • Student Achievement- 25% • Student Growth- 25% • Closing Gaps- 25% • On track indicators: • Elementary • 20% attendance • 5% 3rd grade WKCE Reading Scores • Middle • 20% attendance • 5% 8th grade WKCE Mathematics Scores
The High School Report Card Has only three priority areas to average to accountability determination: • Student Achievement: 37.5% • Student Growth 0% • Closing Gaps: 37.5% • On Track/ Post Secondary Readiness: 25% • 20% is the graduation rate • 5% ACT Participation and Performance
Outcomes • Schools provided with information on strengths and weaknesses • Targeted support from DPI and partners to improve school performance • Rewards and recognition for high performing schools
Building Shared Understanding Group Discussion: • How will you roll out the Report Card to your staff? • To your community? • Who are your key stakeholders? • What will you communicate? • How will you communicate?
Let Us Know How We Can Help • Sept 18th and Oct 3rd – more in depth trainings here on the Report Card and communication strategies. • Questions? • Kevin Anderson – kevin.anderson@cesa2.org • Nicole Barlass – nicole.barlass@cesa2.org
