FY2016 School Grade Rule Principals Leadership Academy Mark Howard May 17, 2016 Slides adapted from FDOE presentation http://l.sdpbc.net/klovi Top-performing urban school district in Florida

New School Grades Model Reminder of Key Differences No Bonus Points or Weighting No weighted learning gains or accelerated exams No safety net preventing dropping 2 letter grades No bonus points for students passing retakes No Letter Grade Penalties No drop in letter grade if less than 50% of students in the bottom quartile make learning gains No drop in letter grade if less than 25% of their students were reading on grade level

FY2016 Accountability Rules Provides a focus on achievement, growth, students needing the most support and student acceleration (middle & high) Schools only graded on components with data, must have 10 or more students Each component worth 100 points

FY2016 Accountability Rules Must test 95% of FTE Survey 3 students (calculate for each test, then aggregate) ELL students included in Achievement after 2 years (based on DEUSS date) NEW Learning Gains Model Grades reported as percentage of points

FY16 School Grade Scale All Models (Elementary, Middle, High, Combination) A = 62% B = 54% - 61% C = 41% - 53% D = 32% - 40% F = 31% or less

Learning Gains Model Beginning in FY2016

New Learning Gains Model F.S. 1008.34 New model requires growth toward achievement levels 3, 4, and 5 is demonstrated by students who scored below each of those levels in the prior year. Reflect What does this mean for students scoring at levels 1 and 2? What does this mean for students scoring at levels 3 and 4? What does this mean for retained students? What does this mean for students testing above grade level?

Learning Gains Model The line below represents a student growth pattern consistent with the statute and the approved rule. 260 Student scoring mid Level 1 in Grade 3 and earning a learning gain each year. 240 Level 3 Level 3 Level 3 220 Level 3 Level 3 Level 3 Level 2 Level 3 Level 2 Level 2 Level 2 Level 2 200 Level 3 Level 2 Level 2 180 Level 2 160 140 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6 Grade 7 Grade 8 Grade 9 Grade 10

Comparison of Learning Gains Old Method Improve one or more levels from one year to the next (e.g., move from Level 1 to Level 2; Level 2 to Level 4, etc.) LEVEL 1 & 2 For students who remain in Level 1 or 2, demonstrate a specified scale gain LEVEL 3 & 4 Maintain a Level 3, Level 4, or Level 5 from one year to the next New Method No change Split Levels 1 & 2 into sub-sections Level 1 into thirds Level 2 in half Then, require student to improve from section to section within Level (e.g., move from the bottom third of Level 1 to the middle third of Level 1) Level 3 & Level 4, in addition to maintaining the level, student scale score must improve

FSA Reading, Math/EOC Learning Gains All Levels: Increase 1+ Level Level 5: Remain Level 5 Level 4: Maintain level and improve 1 or more points Level 3: Maintain level and improve 1 or more points Level 2: Move from sub-level to higher sub-level Level 1: Move from sub-level to higher sub-level Remain Level 5 Maintain +1 Pt Maintain +1 Pt FSA Achievement Levels L5 L4 L3 L2 L1

Lowest 25% Learning Gains Applies same Learning Gains methodology to the Lowest 25% To determine the Lowest 25% Use the scale score performance of students in the prior year at each grade level to identify the lowest 25% of students (EOCs not by grade level) Lowest 25% is no longer limited to students in Achievement Levels 1 and 2 Calculated for both ELA and Mathematics

Next Steps

How do you utilize people, time and money to get results? Accountability Data Corrections Review Master Boards, Enrollment and Ind. Certs. for Current Year Practices Plan for Master Boards and Course Registration for Success Next Year

Accountability Data Corrections 1. Student Data Updates (EOC Course Withdraw) 2. Prior Year Data Corrections 3. College and Career Acceleration District makes corrections first Schools notified to review, verify and update as needed Short turn-around
