REGENTS VERSUS COMMON CORE ASSESSMENT ADMINISTRATION The ELA and math Common Core assessments for grades 3-8 began in In 2014, the first Common Core Regents exams were administered in math (Algebra I) and ELA, and the students enrolled in Common Core courses have the option to take Regents in addition to the new Common Core test and have the higher score count for grading and other purposes. The Common Core Regents exam in Geometry will be administered for the first time in The Common Core Algebra II exam will be administered for the first time in 2016.

REWARD STATUS With this year’s ESEA waiver amendments Reward Schools will now be determined based on the following: 1.Reviewing graduation rates for students who begin high school at Levels 1 and 2. 2.Percentages of students who receive Regents diplomas with advanced designation and Career and Technical Education endorsements 3.In elementary and middle schools, growth of students whose growth percentiles the previous year placed them in the bottom quartile for their school.

WHAT IS DATA DRIVEN INSTRUCTION? Formative, interim and summative assessment data is analyzed by individual teachers and groups of teachers across content and grade levels. Results are disaggregated by subgroups and individual students. Outcomes are used to adjust instruction and curriculum on an ongoing basis to improve student learning outcomes.

STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION College and Career Readiness is not reducible to test scores. Ken Wagner, Deputy Commissioner Office of Curriculum Assessment and Education Technology 10/10/2014 Student performance is not improved by re-teaching test questions and State Assessments are not the best tool for improving performance. Best use of State Assessments is to conduct item response analysis by CCLS bundles by building, subgroup and individual performance levels to identify GAPS across subgroups and the district and the state. Data Analysis Technical Assistance Center

LOCAL ASSISTANCE PLAN GOFF MIDDLE SCHOOL Gap between Growth Rate (Performance Index) of general education students and students with disabilities. 100 point GAP for 30 or more students with disabilities 100 point GAP for 40 or more students from all other subgroups Students with disabilities made the Annual Yearly Performance (AYP) benchmarks set by SED. NYSED Requires a District led internal audit using the Diagnostic Tool for School District Effectiveness resulting in the development of a Local Assistance Plan.

ACTIONS THE DISTRICT TAKE TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF ALL STUDENTS AND SUBGROUP PERFORMANCE 1.Curriculum mapping and interim assessment development K- 8 ELA and math. 2.Provide professional development to build teacher capacity 3. Development of a Local Assistance Plan for Goff. 4. Provide more granular data to the principals and teachers for instructional decision making 5. Continue to develop targeted supports and interventions

SAMPLE DATA ANALYSIS OF CCLS PERFORMANCE BANDS 4 TH GRADE LEVEL 2 ELA

KEN WAGNER, NYSED DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE OF CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT AND EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY When the local diploma was eradicated the students earning Regents Diplomas increased by 5% Graduation rates are increasing across the state but advanced designation graduation rates are flat at about 31%. ( % EGCSD District – 57% Columbia) ELL only subgroup whose graduation rate is decreasing across the last 5 year except for those ELL not receiving services in their terminal year. Statewide 94% of cohort students begin their senior only 81% graduate.

KEN WAGNER, NYSED DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE OF CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT AND EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY Our current 5 th grade class is the first class to have been exposed to the common core in kindergarten. (Adopted 2010) These same students will arrive in high school with 8 years of common core exposure. The safety net remains for SWD There are changes coming to the Global and US History Assessment Process – 1 year exam rather than 2 year, no DBQ.
