School Year School Year Accountability System 2012 Accountability A-F Accountability Growth 1 Year Projected Targets Target scale scores are compared to actual scale scores to categorize Low, Typical, or High Growth. 1 Year Projected Targets with equi-percentile concordance Target scale scores are compared to actual scale scores to categorize Low, Typical, or High Growth. (Note: Due to the assessment transition, an equi-percentile concordance will be utilized to translate the target score from the previous assessment scale to a target score on the new assessment scale. Additional validations will be implemented to ensure continuity during the transition.)

Assessment and Accountability Transition School Year School Year Educator Effectiveness Growth Rating Student Growth Percentile The median SGP along with the standard error is used to generate Educator Effectiveness Growth Ratings (1-4 or 1-5). Student Growth Percentile The median SGP along with the standard error is used to generate Educator Effectiveness Growth Ratings (1-4 or 1-5). (Note: While Student Growth Percentiles are assessment neutral, results will be closely evaluated to ensure accuracy in calculation as well as fidelity in implementation of new academic standards.) Educator Effectiveness Growth Ratings Grade Levels Grades 4-8 Educator Effectiveness Negative Impact Median SGP less than 15 and Mean ISTEP+ scale score decrease of 15 points Median SGP less than 15 and equivalence of Mean ISTEP+ scale score decrease of 15 points
