4. How do we evaluate progress and set goals?
How many of you have seen (or set) goals like this?
All students will be at grade level by end of the year
All grades will increase at least 10% in proficiency this year
Every school will end the year with 80% of students at proficient
Are these goals equally appropriate for all schools or across all grades?
For schools that start with 55% of schools at proficient?
For those that start with 70% at proficient?
And for the few that begin with 80% already at proficient?

10. A Different Approach
Our approach to evaluating growth and setting goals relies on the following principles:
Goals should be attainable, measurable, and meaningful (as Dr. Good often says), and driven by a sense of urgency.
Expectations should be relative to where a school begins.
As a result, our approach does the following:
Sets expectations according to the percent of students at Benchmark at the Beginning of the Year.
Divides growth seen by schools into different bands of performance.

11. What are Quintiles?
Bands of performance categorize progress from BOY to MOY (or EOY) for schools beginning at the same starting point.
District or School Uses:
Helps teachers help students reach grade level goals and exit high risk levels
Planning/goal setting purposes for schools and/or teachers
Progress Quintiles Measure:
Prior year data across entire mCLASS user base
If schools are making progress, relative to their peers
Peers = schools starting with similar percentages of students at performance levels
Progress Qunitiles Available:
DIBELS Reaching Benchmark
DIBELS Exiting Well Below Benchmark
TRC Reaching Proficient/Above
TRC Exiting Well Below Proficient

12. Understanding Bands of Performance
Cut-points for the bands of performance are determined by the range of progress made by schools in each quintile (or 20% of schools). For example, Well Below Average is reflective of the 20% of schools making the least amount of progress.
Progress Categories
Range of Distribution
Well Below Average
Bottom Quintile (20%)
Below Average
2nd Quintile (20%)
Average
3rd Quintile (20%)
Above Average
4th Quintile (20%)
Well Above Average
Top Quintile (20%)

To find starting point: First, find the row in the first column corresponding to the percent of students scoring at proficient on the composite score at the beginning of year
To analyze progress:
Find column corresponding to the percent of students scoring at proficient on the composite score at the middle of year

Consider 21 Wake schools that began BOY in the same peer group:
What changed at MOY for each school?
What if the goal for EOY was 80% at benchmark?
What can schools learn by collaborating together?

22. Progress Planning Tool: Evaluating Progress
Step 1 establishes the progress level your district achieved by grade and aggregately for the prior school year.
Drop-down to select grade band
Use Comparing Populations report (for prior year, by grade) to complete the chart

23. Progress Planning Tool: Setting Goals
Step 2 allows districts (or schools) to set a goal for each grade and aggregate.
Based on prior year data and district’s current year BOY start
MOY % and EOY % needed to meet goal will populate based on level selected
Uses Comparing Populations report (for current year, by grade)

25. Administrator Session: Using the Progress Planning Tool
Log into and click on Reporting:
Run the Comparing Populations Report with the following criteria
Segmented: by grade
Population: K-3
Time: BOY&EOY; BOY&MOY
Students Enrolled: On Test Day
Measure: TRC Proficiency

26. Administrator Session: Completed Progress Planning Tool*
* Results shown are for all Wake County Schools

27. Progress Planning Tool: Things to Consider
Now that we have reviewed how to determine progress…
Who on my team do I need involve?
What are my next steps?
What obstacles facing my staff may impact this?
Is there a shift in my schedule or resources that may need to happen?

28. Parting Thoughts… We want your feedback!
