What’s the Point of PVAAS? Use the Data! Brian Stamford, IU3

Use of PVAAS Projections Local LEA in western PA Achievement dropped significantly in math from 2014-15 to 2015-16 64% proficiency in 2014-15 16% proficiency in 2015-16 Even though a different group of students was tested, LEA not prepared for this result

Use of PVAAS Projections Upon investigation, PVAAS projections in fall 2015 indicated 18% likely to reach proficiency based on historical data of those students Revealed the need to analyze the risk of students when PVAAS projections are released in the fall
