Spencer County Public Schools 2017-2018 Data Release Spencer County Public Schools October 4th, 2018 Going the distance for all Students!!

Agenda 2017-2018 KY Testing System at a Glance Spencer County School Data SBDM Round Table Discussions (10-15 min. each) Group Discussion around Section VII Requests Final Questions

Learning Targets: I can give a general overview of the Kentucky state accountability process. I can identify the strengths and areas of growth for each school in the district. I can discuss and understand the process that each school will implement for continuous improvement. I will have an understanding of what we as a board can do to support the schools as they look to improve in specific areas.

Transition Period 2017-2018 transition period continues CSI/TSI/Other (not CSI/TSI) must be reported 5-Star Rating System not in use 2018-2019 school year The 5-Star Rating System will be in place Proficiency Separate Academic Indicator Growth Graduation Rate Transition Readiness Achievement Gap Closure Note: The Opportunity and Access Indicator is expected to be included in school accountability in 2019-20.

2017-2018 Changes Elementary and middle school science results based on scores on a new science assessment aligned with the Kentucky Academic Standards in Science, thus science scores cannot be compared to prior years High school results in reading, mathematics and science are based on student scores on the junior year administration of the ACT. New End-of-Course exams in Algebra II, English II and Biology were field tested so scores are not valid for accountability. New social studies standards are under development, so there was no social studies testing at the high school level.

2017-2018 Changes (cont.) High school Transition Readiness includes expanded measures and replaces college and career-readiness. Neither dual credit nor exceptional work experience will count toward high school readiness until 2018-2019. Progress toward English proficiency for English learners (ELs) is used for determining school classifications for the first time. At elementary/middle it is part of Growth indicator. At high, part of transition readiness. Accountability comparisons with previous years are not valid. Accountability comparisons can be made at the indicator level for 2017-2018. KDE is developing a new online School Report Card that will go online with accountability, assessment and other data later this year.

Comprehensive and Targeted Support Schools Schools will receive an identification of CSI, TSI or Other Ability to exit CSI or TSI status will occur annually Continued services will be offered Services will be offered to schools/districts with very low performance (CSI).

CSI/TSI Components 2017-2018 Proficiency Reading and Math are equally weighted Schools rated on performance levels (N=0, A=.5, P=1, D=1.25) Student performance aggregated to School, District and State levels. Separate Academic Indicator Elementary and Middle School Science, Social Studies and Writing Growth Reading and Math Reading includes English Learners movement to language proficiency Transition Readiness High School Earn a diploma All students meet Academic or Career Readiness English Learners’ attainment of English language proficiency Graduation Rate (Cohort) 4-year rate used for graduation rate goal 5-year rate used at high school reported

Proficiency Student performance on state tests in reading and mathematics Achievement status will be Novice (N), Apprentice (A), Proficient (P), and Distinguished (D) Indicator scores are generated by a weighted average with the values N=0, A=.5, P=1 and D=1.25

Separate Academic Indicator Student performance on state tests in science, social studies and writing Achievement status will be Novice (N), Apprentice (A), Proficient (P), and Distinguished (D) Indicator scores are generated by a weighted average with the values N=0, A=.5, P=1 and D=1.25 All tested content areas science, social studies and writing contribute equally to the indicator

Growth Indicator Student’s continuous improvement toward the goal of proficiency Growth is measured at elementary and middle school levels in reading and mathematics using the K-PREP English Learner (EL) progress on Language Proficiency will be evaluated using the ACCESS for ELLs exam and included in the reading calculation Each student’s growth is projected into the future and evaluated as to whether the student is “less than catch up,” “catching up,” “keeping up,” or “moving up”

This is a projection for where the data says that this student will be performing in two (2) years without intervention. L= Less Than Catch Up C = Catch Up K = Keep Up M = Move Up Novice and Apprentice categories have been subdivided into Low and High

Mathematics Growth Measure: Points are assigned from the Growth Value Table from the assessment for academic proficiency (K-PREP) Reading Growth Measure: Points from the Growth Value Table from the assessment for academic proficiency (K-PREP). Points from the English Learner (EL) Growth Table based on the current composite score from the Language Proficiency assessment (ACCESS 2.0).

English Learners (EL) Language Proficiency Table WIDA ACCESS score previous year WIDA ACCESS score current year ► ▼ 1 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 -1.5 -1.25 -1.0 -.75 -.50 -.25 .25 .50 .75 1.0 1.25 WIDA ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 is the current Language Proficiency assessment used by Kentucky. A composite score of 4.5 allows a student to exit from EL services.

Graduation Rate (Cohort) The graduation rate is the percentage of students completing the requirements for a Kentucky high school diploma compared to a cohort of students beginning at grade 9 Graduation rate calculations are based on the students’ final enrollment The Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate is defined as the number of students who graduate in four or five years with a regular high school diploma divided by the number of students who entered high school four or five years earlier adjusting for transfers in and out, émigrés and deceased students. Compute the 4-year rate by using the numbers for 4 years and do the same for the 5 year rate.

Transition Readiness Transition Readiness is the attainment of the necessary knowledge, skills and dispositions for a student to successfully transition to the next level of his or her educational career. For 2017-18, Transition Readiness will be used to identify schools for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI), and Other at the high school only.  

High School Students at the high school level must earn a high school diploma and meet one type of readiness (Academic or Career). In addition, students who have received English Language services during high school must meet criteria for English language proficiency.

Academic Readiness (2017-18) Benchmarks, determined by Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) on a college admissions exam; OR A score of 3+ on exams in 2 or more Advanced Placement courses; OR A score of 5+ on 2 exams for International Baccalaureate courses; OR Benchmarks on 2 or more Cambridge Advanced International examinations; OR Completing a combination of academic readiness indicators above. Demonstration of academic readiness shall include one quantitative reasoning or natural sciences, and one written or oral communication, arts and humanities, or social and behavioral sciences learning outcomes.

Career Readiness (2017-18) Benchmarks on Industry Certifications (Approved by the Kentucky Workforce Innovation Board (KWIB) on an annual basis); OR  Scoring at or above the benchmark on the Career and Technical Education (CTE) End-of-Program Assessment for articulated credit; OR  Completing a KDE/Labor Cabinet-approved apprenticeship;
