Understanding the Pennsylvania School Performance Profile Proposed Introduction January 11, 2013

5 > Purpose The PA School Performance Profile is designed to:  Provide a building level academic score for teachers as part of the Educator Effectiveness System  Inform the public of the performance of each school, comprehensive career and technical center, cyber charter and charter school in Pennsylvania  Provide parents and taxpayers performance measures for the school/district of residence, neighboring schools/districts and schools/districts across the state 5

6 > Purpose For LEAs, the School Performance Profile will serve multiple purposes:  Inform and guide goal setting, resource allocation, and targets for improved student achievement  Communicate performance to various constituencies  Compare performance to other schools  Encourage implementation of best practice 6

7 > Data  No new data will be collected  Baseline year is reported as data  Demonstration site displays 2010 – 2011 data:  14% of schools scored 90 or higher.  64% of schools scored 70 to 89.9  15% of scores are between 60 and 60.9  7% scored below 60  All data is public  All data now in a single repository

District and School (Data not used in formula calculations.) –Demographics –Career and Technical Center –Supporting Intermediate Unit –Percent Enrollment by Ethnicity (Percentage of enrollment is listed, but is not in the SPP for calculating academic performance score. Economics determines factors of student success, not ethnicity.) –Percent Enrollment by Historically Low Performing Students (This group and All Students evaluated in the formula.) –Link to Supplemental Reports (Ex. Sp. Ed Report) asi 9 > Demographic Fast Facts 9

10 > Academic Performance Score The score for a school is based upon multiple measures which define high performing schools. (classroom observations, teacher specific data, elective data, and building level data) (Educator Effectiveness System Act 82 of 2012; beginning school year, 15% of each teacher and principal evaluation – building level data) Many data elements are combined to create the academic score (Derived from the SPP). These elements are categorized into five areas shown on the next slide. (Refer to Understanding Academic Performance Score Handout.) 10

100% Data Components 100% Indicators of Academic Achievement (40%) Indicators of Closing the Achievement Gap – All Students (5%) Indicators of Closing the Achievement Gap – Historically Low Performing Students (5%) Indicators of Academic Growth – PVAAS (40%) Other Academic Indicators (10%) Extra Credit for Advanced Achievement (up to 5 %) (Credit for advanced achievement based upon advanced performance in PSSA and industry assessments.) (Refer to Understanding Academic Performance Score Handout.) 11 > Building Level Score 11

Indicators of Academic Achievement 40% (n=11 or more) PSSA Performance Industry Standards-Based Competency Assessments Grade 3 Reading Proficiency Advanced Placement Achievement SAT College Ready Benchmarks 12 > Building Level Score 12

13 > Closing the Achievement Gap 13 All Students (5%) Based upon progress in moving all students to proficiency (defined as 100%) Historically Low Performing Students (5%) (Refer to Understanding Academic Performance Score Handout.) Based upon progress in moving historically low performing students to proficiency (defined as 100%) Students with Disabilities English Language Learners Economically Disadvantaged

14 > Closing the Achievement Gap 14 Sample Calculation: Proficient/Advanced = 40% Gap between 40% and 100% is 60% Must close one-half of gap over a 6-year period Gap closure = 30% over 6-years Annual goal = 5% per year (cumulative)

Indicators of Academic Achievement Indicators of Academic Growth / PVAAS 40% PVAAS Growth Index Math Reading Science Writing (Growth measure is the change of the achievement level for a group of students across grades divided by the standard error.) 15 > Building Level Score 15

16 > Indicators of Academic Growth -PVAAS 16 Growth IndexScore 3 or higher or lower50

Indicators of Academic Achievement Other Academic Indicators 10% Cohort Graduation Rate Promotion Rate Attendance Rate Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate Diploma, or Dual Enrollment PSAT Participation 17 > Building Level Score 17

18 > Other Academic Indicators 18 Cohort Graduation Rate (1 to 1 basis Ex. If 92.1, then 92.1) Promotion Rate (1 to 1 basis Ex. If 95.6, then 95.6) Attendance Rate (1 to 1 basis Ex. If 96.7, then 96.7) Advanced Placement (100, 75, 50, 25, 0) or International Baccalaureate (Maximum Score) or Dual Enrollment (Maximum Score) PSAT Participation (12 th Grade Cohort; Being reviewed; 2012 – 57.2% took the PSAT.)

Indicators of Academic Achievement Credit for Advanced Achievement (up to 5%) Percent PSSA Advanced – Math Percent PSSA Advanced – Reading Percent PSSA Advanced – Science Percent PSSA Advanced – Writing Percent Advanced – Industry Standards-Based Competency Assessments 19 > Building Level Score 19

School Configuration: K-8 School K-12 School Secondary Schools Comprehensive Career and Technology Centers (Full Time) (Refer to Final Academic Performance Score Calculations.) 20 > School Configurations and Calculations 20

Maximum Overall Score = 100 –Maximum possible points may be reduced based upon Insufficient Sample or Not Applicable Credit for Advanced Achievement (up to 5 points in addition to maximum score) 21 > Scoring Protocols 21

Do you understand the purpose of the School Performance Profile? Did you gain background on the proposed SPP website? Are you able to define data elements to calculate SPP? Do you understand that data matters? Update EDNA and keep PIMS correct? Did you know you will see your SPP prior to going public in April of 2013? Did you know the SPP is still evolving and is a work in progress? PDE has developed an easily accessible website that is a fair, comprehensive, and transparent repository. SPP materials are being developed for reaching out to your communities to help support your communication. Where the goals reached?
