Every student ready for career, college, and life OSPI Vision OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

To provide funding, resources, tools, data and technical assistance that enable educators to ensure students succeed in our public schools, are prepared to access post-secondary training and education, and are equipped to thrive in their careers and lives. OSPI Mission Providing resources, tools, data and technical assistance is a service we can provide to those of you who are much closer to the front lines of impacting student performance than we are. OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

Measuring Success Performance Indicators Measures of Success Increase four- and five-year high school graduation rates Increase enrollment and completion rates and decrease remediation rates in post-secondary training and education Performance Indicators We must help students: Enter kindergarten with expected skills in all six areas identified by the Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (WaKIDS). Meet standard on the 3rd-, 8th-, and 11th-grade statewide English language arts (ELA) and math assessments, and the 8th-grade statewide science assessment. Grow toward proficiency in ELA and math, as determined by Student Growth Percentiles, in 4th and 6th grades. Enroll in Algebra I/Integrated Math I by the end of 8th or 9th grade and earn high school credit. Enroll in college-level courses and earn dual credit. Take the SAT and ACT and earn college-ready scores. Access financial aid for post-secondary learning. We must help students avoid: 9th-grade course failure. Suspensions and expulsions. Chronic absenteeism. Measuring Success OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

Defining Proficiency and Student Growth Percentiles OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

What Do We Mean by Proficiency? Proficiency = How well students perform on the state assessments OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

What proficiency data is included? Data from state assessments are available as: Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA) Math and ELA – Grades 3rd through 8th & 11th End of Course (EOC) Exams Math (Algebra 1 or Geometry) & Biology Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) Science – Grades 5th & 8th OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

What are Student Growth Percentiles? Describe a student’s growth compared only to other students with similar prior test scores; no other student characteristics are considered. Allow us to: fairly compare students who enter school at different levels; and demonstrate a student’s growth and academic progress, regardless of proficiency. OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

An Introduction to Student Growth Percentiles http://www.k12.wa.us/assessment/studentgrowth.aspx OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

Student Growth Percentiles are Part of the Washington State Achievement Index The Achievement Index is intended to: provide a fair and consistent measurement of Washington’s public schools. present a clear picture of how schools and districts are performing. demonstrate improvement over time and highlight closing achievement gaps. https://eds.ospi.k12.wa.us/WAI/ OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

SGP Resources Districts receive individual student growth percentile data through the Washington Assessment Management System (WAMS). For a deeper understanding of SGP, visit the assessment web page. OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

Watch SGP Video in Each Region 1. Go to OSPI website. Search for student growth percentiles. (http://www.k12.wa.us/assessment/studentgrowth.aspx) 2. Watch video. 3. In each region, explain to each other what SGPs are. Generate any questions you might have for OSPI about how SGPs “work.” LINK to PADLET to record questions: https://padlet.com/marissa_rathbone/31sdknzwzee4. We’re going to stop to give each region a chance to actually watch this video and get to know Anthony just a little bit better. We’ll take a 15 minute break to give you a chance to watch the video and talk about what you saw. When we return, we’ll be joined by one of our OSPI colleagues to respond to any technical questions you might have about how SGPs work. It’s important that you have a good sense of what SGPs are so that you can more fully understand the data we’re about to show you. Group facilitators: The padlet link on the screen can be used to record the questions that are coming up. For the 7 regions that have an OSPI staff member present—the OSPI staff member can record the questions. We will resume at _______ (time). OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

Questions about SGPs? OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

Accessing the Data Why This is important for learning & teaching staff OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

How do proficiency analytics add value to what is already on the Report Card? Report Card allows comparisons of proficiency: One student group at a time Proficiency analytics allow easier comparisons across: Schools Districts ESDs Student Groups Years OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

What is the added value of student growth analytics compared to SGP Data and Charts? SGP charts display median SGPs relative to proficiency: One student group at a time One year at a time Student growth analytics allow users to compare: Across student subgroups School or district growth relative to the growth of others regardless of proficiency OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

Why report proficiency and SGP in this way? Provide a user-friendly way to identify disparities between student groups Expand conversations that often focus only on proficiency to also include student growth Reveal places where achievement and growth are notable Invite conversations about equity OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

Accessing the Data How to find these resources and what to do with them when you get there OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018

For Further Discussion When you look at your data, what results make you wonder, “hmmmmm…..”? What factors are affecting student performance, and how can your district impact them? What can you do to engage in conversations about these data in your district? Who would you want to share this information with? Who should be part of the conversation? What would you want to learn from other districts that are getting better results? What can you do to learn from another district? What can the ESD do to help districts learn from each other? How can you use these new ways of looking at data to inform your district’s efforts to improve equity? (Recorders: Record discussion themes/questions on Padlet: https://padlet.com/marissa_rathbone/cu4eqayebvbw.} L & T Staff: Record themes and questions on Padlet: Kathe We leave you with some thoughts about what you might do after you’ve had a chance to explore your own data. We hope that these new ways of looking at your district’s data will give you new opportunities to learn more about the performance of your students, and that it will become a catalyst for conversations in your district, schools, and community. Here are some questions you might consider today, or take back to your districts to dig deeper into the stories your data is telling. We’ll pause to let you read the questions. We’ll conclude with two comments. First, the question, “What factors are affecting student performance, and how can your district impact them?” is easy to ask, but very complex to answer. It could engage people in a continuum of systems-level conversations, from the more profound (e.g., what are your district’s core beliefs and values?) to the eminently practical (e.g., what instructional strategies and materials do we use?). You have to decide how deep you want to go. Second, implicit in these questions is the urgency to learn. We may not have answers for you, but we hope that these resources will invite you to explore the big questions. We leave you today in your regions to begin exploring your data and start the conversation. Thank you for tuning in! OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION 11/11/2018
