How do we evaluate progress and set goals? How many of you have seen (or set) goals like this? All students will be at grade level by end of the year All grades will increase at least 10% in proficiency this year Every school will end the year with 80% of students at proficient Are these goals equally appropriate for all schools or across all grades? For schools that start with 55% of schools at proficient? For those that start with 70% at proficient? And for the few that begin with 80% already at proficient? Presenter: Scott Miller

A Different Approach Our approach to evaluating growth and setting goals relies on the following principles: Goals should be attainable, measurable, and meaningful (as Dr. Good often says), and driven by a sense of urgency. Expectations should be relative to where a school begins. As a result, our approach does the following: Sets expectations according to the percent of students at Benchmark at the Beginning of the Year. Divides growth seen by schools into different bands of performance.

What are Quintiles? Bands of performance categorize progress from BOY to MOY (or EOY) for schools beginning at the same starting point. District or School Uses: Helps teachers help students reach grade level goals and exit high risk levels Planning/goal setting purposes for schools and/or teachers Progress Quintiles Measure: Prior year data across entire mCLASS user base If schools are making progress, relative to their peers Peers = schools starting with similar percentages of students at performance levels Progress Qunitiles Available: DIBELS Reaching Benchmark DIBELS Exiting Well Below Benchmark TRC Reaching Proficient/Above TRC Exiting Well Below Proficient

Understanding Bands of Performance Cut-points for the bands of performance are determined by the range of progress made by schools in each quintile (or 20% of schools). For example, Well Below Average is reflective of the 20% of schools making the least amount of progress. Progress Categories Range of Distribution Well Below Average Bottom Quintile (20%) Below Average 2nd Quintile (20%) Average 3rd Quintile (20%) Above Average 4th Quintile (20%) Well Above Average Top Quintile (20%)

Progress Planning Tool: Evaluating Progress Step 1 establishes the progress level your district achieved by grade and aggregately for the prior school year. Drop-down to select grade band Use Comparing Populations report (for prior year, by grade) to complete the chart

Progress Planning Tool: Setting Goals Step 2 allows districts (or schools) to set a goal for each grade and aggregate. Based on prior year data and district’s current year BOY start MOY % and EOY % needed to meet goal will populate based on level selected Uses Comparing Populations report (for current year, by grade)

Administrator Session: Using the Progress Planning Tool Log into www.mclasshome.com and click on Reporting: Run the Comparing Populations Report with the following criteria Segmented: by grade Population: K-3 Time: 2015-16 BOY&EOY; 2016-17 BOY&MOY Students Enrolled: On Test Day Measure: TRC Proficiency

Administrator Session: Completed Progress Planning Tool* * Results shown are for all Wake County Schools

Progress Planning Tool: Things to Consider Now that we have reviewed how to determine progress… Who on my team do I need involve? What are my next steps? What obstacles facing my staff may impact this? Is there a shift in my schedule or resources that may need to happen?
