Goal 2: Priority Assessment Index Goal 1: SPS Math assessment index for the school Math assessment index for my class ELA assessment index for the school ELA assessment index for my class Leader Assistants Teachers

For classes that have an end of year state assessment (4-8): Goal 1: Assessment Index for Entire Class Teacher will use the same method for setting their assessment index goal as the principal. ELA, math, science, and social studies* LDOE chart for rating scale (see next slide) Based on the performance of students in their classroom only. Use their previous year’s results to set the goal using the SPS calculator. Use Student Stats to access information. For students with no scores (home school, transfers): do not include them in your baseline goal or the final calculation to determine if you met the goal. Example: The Math Assessment Index for my classroom will increase by __ points from current index to goal index. *see next slide for an example of the process using the Rating Scale Charts.

Student Achievement Data Component This is the number you get from the calculator. For C Schools Student Achievement Data Component State Average My Class 2016-2017 Recommended Target Insufficient Attainment Partial Attainment Full Attainment Exceeds SCHOOL PERFORMANCE SCORE (SPS): with grade 8 75.2   ≤ 0.0^ 0.1 - 1.8^ 1.9 - 3.5 > 3.5 SCHOOL PERFORMANCE SCORE (SPS): w/out grade 8 75.0 0.1 - 1.6^ 1.7 - 3.1 > 3.1 Assessment Index Overall 69.7 0.1 - 1.0^ 1.1 - 1.9 > 1.9 ELA Assessment Index 76.6 0.1 - 3.8 3.9 - 7.6 > 7.6 Math Assessment Index* 66.0  60 < 0.0* 0.1 - 4.1 4.2 - 8.2 > 8.2 Science Assessment Index 65.3 Social Studies Assessment Index 67.5 Dropout/Credit DCAI Index 131.2 0.1 - 2.9 3.0 - 5.7 > 5.7 Progress Points Math: % of non-proficient students exceeding their target 51.8% 0.1 - 5.3^ 5.4 - 10.5 > 10.5 ELA: % of non-proficient students exceeding their target 0.1 - 2.2^ 2.3 - 4.3 > 4.3 The goal is the bottom of Full Attainment. SLT: The Math Assessment Index for my classroom will increase by 4.2 points from 60 to 64.2. Insufficient Attainment of Target (1 point) Partial Attainment of Target (2 points) Full Attainment of Target (3 points) Exceptional Attainment of Target (4 points) Achievement Range: The index did not increase. The index increased from 0.1 – 4.1 points. 4.2 – 8.2 points. The index increased more than 8.2 points.

Grade 3 and HS EOC/LEAP 2025 Courses with a state test but without a corresponding previous year’s test. Compute a baseline assessment index for the course: Option 1: Use the teacher’s 16-17 EOC results to compute a baseline assessment index. Option 2: Use the school’s 16-17 EOC assessment index as their baseline assessment index. Or Use the District Average Method (explain in upcoming slides)

Adjustments This is for 3rd grade or HS courses using an assessment index baseline that is not derived from the students currently in their class. Based on the composition of the class in relation to the rest of the classes at the school – below or above – the principal can adjust the baseline assessment index accordingly. The adjustment should be based on the LDOE charts. For example… If the school is a C and the class is an advanced class, then the baseline assessment index used should be the B assessment index in that subject. If the school is a C and the class is significantly lower, then the baseline assessment index used should be the D assessment index in that subject. C School State Average Assessment Index Overall 69.7 ELA Assessment Index 76.6 Math Assessment Index* 66.0 Science Assessment Index 65.3 Social Studies Assessment Index 67.5 B School State Average Assessment Index Overall 85.8 ELA Assessment Index 91.6 Math Assessment Index* 82.4 Science Assessment Index 83.6 Social Studies Assessment Index 83.0 D School State Average Assessment Index Overall 51.8 ELA Assessment Index 59.6 Math Assessment Index* 47.9 Science Assessment Index 45.9 Social Studies Assessment Index 49.8

District Average Method For classes without a State Test and using a District-wide Common Assessment: Pre-K-2 (3*) ELA and math, EOC* and non-EOC tested HS core subjects The percent of students scoring proficient1 in my 2nd grade math classes2 on the appropriate grade-level District-wide End of Year math assessment3 will be at the District Average (DAVG)4. 1however proficient is defined: Basic or above, Good or Excellent, 80% or higher, etc.) 2 grade and subject you teach 3 whatever District-wide End of Year test is given for the grade and subject. See district chart for list of assessments. 4 this will be determined at the end of the year – there will be variance by grade of school – see upcoming slide. *This can also be used for 3rd grade or EOC courses using the State test because there is not comparable data from the year before. ** This example is for a C School

Goal Differentiation Based on School Letter Grade Goal would be… Written as… A Schools 20% higher than the district average* DAVG+20 B Schools 10% higher than the district average** DAVG+10 C Schools District Average DAVG D Schools 10% lower than the district average DAVG-10 Schools will use their new 16-17 Letter Grade to set SLTs. * “A” schools will write their goals to meet Mastery or above. **When the district average is greater than 70%, the top ranges will split the difference between that number and 100. Use this chart to make adjustments based on class composition when using the District Average to set the goal. Goals can be moved up or down using increments of 5%.

Examples of Target Statements – 2nd grade ELA A Schools The percent of students scoring Mastery or higher in my 2nd grade ELA class on the District End of Year ELA assessment will be 20% above the District Average (DAVG+20). B Schools The percent of students scoring Basic and above in my 2nd grade ELA class on the District End of Year ELA assessment will be 10% above the District Average (DAVG+10).

Goal 2 For teachers who teach more than one core subject tested by the state: Assessment index for other core subject: ELA, math, science, social studies (5-8). For teachers who only teach one core subject tested by the state: Set a goal for student growth or for student below proficient – depending on available of growth data. Format on next slides.

Student Growth Goal 50% of students in my 8th grade math classes1 will meet their expected growth target on the 8th grade math LEAP test. 1 Should include all of the sections of that subject that you teach. Insufficient Attainment of Target (1 point) Partial Attainment of Target (2 points) Full Attainment of Target (3 points) Exceptional Attainment of Target (4 points) Achievement Range: Less than 35% meet their expected growth target. 35% - 49% meet their expected growth target. 50% - 65% meet expected growth target. More than 65% meet expected growth target.

Below Proficient Goal 30% of the students in my English II class1 who scored below proficient2 on the previous year's English I District End of Year will improve at least one performance level3 on the English II EOC. 1 The common grade and subject class that you teach. It should include all of the same classes that you teach. 2 However proficient is defined (Good and Excellent). 3 For example, from Poor to Fair, Fair to Good

Another Below Proficient Goal Example 30% of the 11th graders in my English III class1 who scored below an 18 2 on the previous year's English portion of the Pre-ACT test will score an 18 or higher3 on the English portion of the Spring 2018 ACT taken by 11th graders .

Pre-K ELA: District Pre-K ELA Assessment   District Pre-K ELA Assessment    The percent of students scoring Average or above (36+) in my Pre-Kindergarten class on the District Pre-K ELA Assessment will be at the District Average (DAVG). Math: District Pre-K Math Assessment         The percent of students scoring Average and above (27+) in my Pre-Kindergarten class on the District Pre-K Math Assessment will be at the District Average (DAVG).

SLT Example without a State or District End of Year test The percent of students scoring proficient1 in my 8th grade Physical Education class2 on the end of year assessment3 will be 80%4. 80% of the students in my physical education class will score proficient on the end of the year assessment. 1however proficient is defined: Basic or above, Good or Excellent, 80% or higher, etc.) 2 grade and subject you teach 3 Whatever end of year assessment is appropriate for the class. If there is a national, state college, certification or district test available, that test should be used. 4 General definition of proficiency. This may vary based on school letter grade, historical data, and baseline data. ** This example is for a C School

Number of SLTs Principals may want to consider having their teachers write more than two goals in order to cover all of the tested subjects they teach or to include school-wide initiatives. The results are averaged for a final rating.

Suggested Scale for other non-tested grades and subjects Percent of students who score “proficient” D or F schools:  70% C schools:  80% B schools:  90% A schools:  100% *based on the idea that A schools are expected to have 100% of their students proficient. Adjustments can be made based on academic and non-academic courses and baseline data. When there are no proficiency levels assigned, proficient will be defined as 80% or higher.
