Implementation Year 2: Student Academic Progress (Rating Tables) Dr. Carrie L. Giovannone & Dr. Yating Tang Arizona Department of Education September

 Overview of Student Academic Progress component  Rating Tables  SGP and SGT

50% Teaching Performance 33% Student Academic Progress 17% Student Academic Progress

 40 points(33%)  Three categories ◦ Achievement ◦ Growth (24 points=20%) ◦ Career and College Ready

Every Teacher is responsible for the following data:  Classroom SLO(S)  Targeted SLO(s)  Prior year classroom level data ◦ (e.g., AIMS, AZELLA)

Current Year Classroom Roster:  Classroom SLO (s)  DIBELS composite: percent of students at benchmark by the end of year Prior Year Classroom Roster:  Percent at or above the 4 th Stanine on Stanford 10- reading, language and mathematics  Percent passing AIMS- reading, mathematics and science  Percent proficient on AZELLA

Current Year Classroom Roster:  Targeted SLO(s)  DIBELs (Initial Sound Fluency-ISF)  DIBELs (Phoneme Segmentation Fluency-PSF)  DIBELs (Nonsense Word-Word Fluency-NWF-CLS)  DIBELs (Oral Reading Fluency-ORF) Prior Year Classroom Roster:  Student growth percentile (SGP)  Student growth target (SGT)  Percentile rank on Stanford 10 language and mathematics  Student growth from one performance level to the next performance level on AZELLA

Prior Year Data:  Attendance rate (school-level)  Graduation rate (school-level)  Grade 8 students who earn Exceeds on AIMS reading and/or mathematics  CCR equivalent scores- reading and mathematics  Reduction in Falls Far Below AIMS Reading

Arizona Growth Model Growth Percentile Growth Target 28 Growth Ratio

Rock-n-Roll Arizona Marathon 29 PF Chang’s

30 When you are preparing for a marathon there are three extrinsic rewards you are aiming for: 1)1 st place 2)Best time 3)Finish the race

Rock-n-Roll Arizona Marathon Christie Foster from Sierra Vista, AZ placed: 1 st for the women, and 6 th place overall. Her time was 2:44:41

32 Christie placed 1 st for the women and 6 th place overall. Students’ growth compared to their academic peers across the state. A criterion to measure against to gauge whether the growth achieved in one year is enough to reach a goal. Growth Percentile Growth Targets What amount of sustained growth is necessary to reach a target? How are you improving compared to peers? Her goal time for this year’s race was 2:40. Her completion time was 2:44:41.

33 Christie’s goal* is to clock a time of 2:38 in the 2015 Marathon so she set benchmarks each year prior to prepare and train appropriately to reach her goal. How close did she come to reaching the 2013 benchmark goal of 2:40 (160 mins)? 160 min (2:40) 164 min (2:44) =.98 Growth Target 2:40 2: :44 *Hypothetical example

The ADE calculates percentiles and growth targets for each student in reading and mathematics What do they mean to schools, teachers, and parents?

Meets 43 rd PR

67 th PR 43 rd PR Meets Within the student’s peer group across the state, which SGP did this student have to acquire to be on track?

Growth Ratio Expected Percentile Actual Percentile 37 Was the student’s actual growth enough to reach the target? Growth Achieved = Growth Ratio ≥1, on track (the growth is enough to reach the target) Growth Ratio < 1, not on track (the growth is not enough to reach the target)

67 th PR 43 rd PR Meets 43 rd PR 67 th PR =

Very High High Typical Low Very Low 43 rd PR Meets Student Growth Target for 2014 Which SGP does the student need to achieve in order to be on-track to meet the goal of proficient by grade 7?
