How many changes to the FDOE Accountability system in 2012? • 9 • 17 • 23 • 34 Correct Answer 34!
MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADE ACCOUNTABILITY PERFORMANCE, LOWEST 25% LEARNING GAINS • FY2013 • Reading Performance Penalty • Math – FCAT 2.0, Algebra 1 • and Geometry EOC • Geometry Achievement Levels • Science – FCAT 2.0 • FCAT 2.0 Achievement Levels • Writing – 3.5 Score, 60 Minutes • Lowest 25% Adequate Progress Penalty Reinstated Grade Scale for Middle Schools (Based on a 900-Point Scale)
PERFORMANCE Includes • ELLs with at least 365 calendar days from initial day of entry into U.S. school* • FCAT 2.0 • Reading • Mathematics • Writing • Science • EOCs • Algebra 1, Geometry • Biology 1 *365 days: Initial day of entry to first day of FCAT 2.0 Writing testing – February 26, 2013

READING PERFORMANCE (100 pts) • Reading Performance Threshold Penalty • School grade lowered one letter grade if 25% Reading Performance threshold not met • Schools that have their grade lowered for not meeting other targets (e.g., Adequate Progress of the Lowest 25%, At-risk Graduation Rate) will not have their grade lowered further.

READING LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FCAT 2.0 (1 point) • Maintain same proficient level • L1 to L2, L1 to L3, or L2 to L3 • Remain L1 & increase Required scale points • Remain L2 & increase Required scale points Retained students make learning gains by maintaining a proficiency level, increasing a level, or increasing a scale score
READING LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FCAT 2.0 Weighted (1.1 or 1.2 point) • (1.1) Prior year level 1 or 2 & gain Requiredplus 33% or more scale points see example • (1.1) Move from lower level into L4 • (1.2) Move from lower level into L5 1.1 1.2 Retained students make learning gains by maintaining a proficiency level, increasing a level, or increasing a scale score Level 5 Level 4
READING LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • Weighted Learning Gain for retained and non-retained students prior year in FCAT 2.0 L1 or L2 • Learning Gain of 1.1 = Required growth + 33% or more Example: Current sixth grader, prior year level 1 eighth grader Required growth (9) points + 33% (3 points) 9 + 3 = 12 scale points
READING LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FAA (1 point) • Maintain proficient (Levels 4-9) • Improve from prior Level • Remain Levels 1-3 & gain 5 or more scale points (Required) • FAA Weighted (1.1 point) • Prior year levels 1-3 & gain Required plus 33% or more (7+) scale points
MATH LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FCAT 2.0/Algebra 1/Geometry EOC (1 point) • Use higher of FCAT 2.0 Math or EOC • Maintain proficient (L3-L5) • Improve from L1 to L2, L1 to L3, or L2 to L3 • Remain L1 & increase common scale score • Remain L2 & increase common scale score • FDOE will use a common scale for comparisons
MATH LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FCAT 2.0 Weighted (1.1 or 1.2 point) • (1.1) Prior year level 1 or 2 & gain Requiredplus 33% or more scale points see example • (1.1) Move from lower level into L4 • (1.2) Move from lower level into L5 1.1 1.2 Retained students make learning gains by maintaining a proficiency level, increasing a level, or increasing a scale score Level 5 Level 4
MATH LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • FAA (1 point) • Maintain proficient (Levels 4-9) • Improve from prior Level • Remain Levels 1-3 & gain 5 or more scale points (Required) • FAA Weighted (1.1 point) • Prior year levels 1-3 & gain Required plus 33% or more (7+) scale points
MATH LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • Algebra 1 EOC with Prior FCAT 2.0 Math (1 point) • Maintain same proficient level • Improve from L1 to L2, L1 to L3, or L2 to L3 • Remain L1 & increase common scale score • Remain L2 & increase common scale score • Algebra 1 EOC Weighted (1.1 or 1.2 point) • (1.1) Move from lower level into L4 • (1.2) Move from lower level into L5 • FDOE will use a common scale for comparisons • Compare Algebra 1 EOC with prior year FCAT 2.0 Math
LOWEST 25% READING LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • Calculating Lowest 25% - Reading • Only students in prior year L1 or L2 • Calculate for each student group • The sum of all groups plus other retained students in prior year L1 and L2 Fewer than 30 students L2 or below, reading gains of all students substituted *Students who skip a grade will show Learning Gains by moving up a level or maintaining L3+
LOWEST 25% MATH LEARNING GAINS (100 pts) • Calculating Lowest 25% - Mathematics • Only students in prior year L1 or L2 (excluding FAA) • Calculate for each student group • The sum of all groups plus other retained students in prior year L1 and L2 Fewer than 30 students L2 or below mathematics gains of all students substituted *Students who skip a grade will show Learning Gains by moving up a level or maintaining L3+
LOWEST 25% LEARNING GAINS • Lowest 25% Adequate Progress • At least 50 percent of the Lowest 25% (50% in Reading and 50% in Mathematics) make Learning Gains or show improvement from the prior year: • Lowest 25% Adequate Progress Penalty
ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE & PARTICIPATION (100 pts) • High School Level EOC Assessments and Industry Certifications • Participation – 50 points • Performance – 50 points Schools without grade 8 will NOT have this component included in their school grade calculation. (e.g., K-7 school)
ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE & PARTICIPATION (100 pts) • PARTICIPATION CALCULATION The denominator is adjusted to remove any grade 8 student who previously took (or passed) the EOC in a prior year or who otherwise met their graduation requirement for Algebra 1 prior to the current year.

SUMMMARY OF CHANGES: PERFORMANCE, LOWEST 25% LEARNING GAINS • FY2013 • Math – Geometry EOC • New Achievement Levels • Science – FCAT 2.0 • New Achievement Levels • Writing – 3.5 Score, 60 Minutes • Reading Performance Penalty • Lowest 25% Progress Penalty Reinstated
